Hi Paul. I couldn't get a clear answer for import duties to the UK anywhere but I did find a UK import duty calculator and cost sums to about 240 pounds. Regarding shipping DHL lady said about 90 pounds with the long shipping (about 2 weeks time) and about 250 pounds for the quick one (about 3 days time) but to get a exact quote bass needs to be packed for shipping and exact dimensions and weight have to be calculated. I know what Brexit did to imports but I guess it has its pros and cons. It will be shipped in a soft case but bulletproof bubble wrapped and boxed.. Have shipped lots of gear over the years so no prob.

Hi Paul, hope you’re well man. Absolutely not a problem with any question mate. It’s a chip on the laquer on the board. Probable cause is some nitwit tossing crap stagebound!!! Abot the backside of the neck the thing that looks like a scratch is from a crappy stand but I can’t feel it While playing. Pick guard less pic coming your way as soon as I get home. Also sorry about not getting a shipping quote will try to sort it out tomorrow. Long days work today…

Uploaded some pics of dings and nicks I could see.

Hi Paul, thanks mate. I'll look into it tomorrow about shipping to the UK. I should have figured this out before posting! As far as dings etc nothing of significance (to me) just regular playware. I'll post the most obvious ones in the morning as I'm on my way to a jam.

Hello guys n gals, Selling my beloved MIJ 51 p bass ri (model OPB-1 EX) in the difficult to find two tone burst that even though not historically an available colour in 51, in my opinion looks much better than the school bus yellow type. Anyhow, the bass is in great shape with just a couple of minor dings from many years of gigging. This is the 50th anniversary 1996 (early) version with the large ferrules that are flush to the body. No routing under the pickguard, so looks cool without it too. Frets are fine, also no breaks and funny stuff. Fully upgraded electronics such as full size CTS pots , Luxe phonebook cap, Switchcraft jack, Evidence audio cable and Seymour Duncan SCPB 1 pickup that has been modded to flat pole for better string balance (original pup included). Full cavity graphite shielding to keep it a quiet as possible. Also included are the bridge and pickup covers. Never got around to adding the slot head screws and bakelite saddles, otherwise not much to be jealous of from a Custom Shop job besides nitro paint job and (not everybody's fave) 1.75 nut. Weight is a super comfy 4.057 Kg. Shipping out of Athens, Greece. Here are pics of alll nicks and dings I could find IMG_4486.HEICIMG_4487.HEICIMG_4488.HEICIMG_4489.HEICIMG_4490.HEICIMG_4491.HEICIMG_4492.HEIC Also pics without the guard on...and my hack job for better access to the rod..(what was I thinking) lol.
