If you can stomach the poor quality of the bevel routing....Looks like something from an Aliexpress seller! 

 

 

 

 

@Cornwall Steve You can try Zenmarket  as a 3rd parry shipper (plenty of YT reviews and How to video on importing guitars using their services) 

 

Using something like Zen can save you a few Hundred £'s over the 3rd party ebay/reverb sellers, doing so will shift the postage risk to yourself, for example using Zen and surface shipping i can get a BTB865SC laned in the UK for about £700 'ish, 3rd party reverb/ebay sellers want £700+ for the same bass without shipping/VAT/Duty inc....so buying from them would give a landed cost of about £1k...but in doing so they take the risk of it getting damaged/missing in transit...risk/reward

Thank you. Not heard of Zen before however someone else suggested them too so I'll check them out.

Another satisfied Ishibashi customer here - in Ireland, but the customs and taxes charges and processes are very similar to the UK. Ishibashi went above and beyond, even when An Post didn’t…
