@Largo: Of course I meant EUR....1388EUR is what I meant ;-)
@Rumble: Conditions in Italy aren't good as you're supposing they are. Actually, the life cost in UK is definitely higher than Italian one, but the selling price for this bass here in Italy is the same I posted here. I can't define the price in function of what happens in The Bass Centre (the same for The Gallery in Camden, or BassCentral or even Thomann), as long as the right price cannot be defined in function of an eBay auction. Last year I sold my Warwick 6BO to a happy Bassworld user, while Italian bass players were complaining a high price. This time it's upside down :-) Concerning my opinion, both times the price was the right one. I can negotiate it, of course, but I'm not interested on giving away this bass to a low price, so it can wait many weekends here in my room without playing even a note.
Rumble, if you love my country you're too far away from the way I love yours. It's 3 years in a row (since I have a job and I can afford it) that I come to England for vacancies. This year I have a house to build and just a week holiday in mid-august, so the streak is break.
Bump, by the way! :-D
