SpinalTap Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 This price almost makes it tempting for me, althrough I prefer 4 strings, and don't like precision basses. ^_^ Great basses these AC, en Flanker is a top seller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fingerz Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 This is a stunning bass. I agree with everyone else, crazy its not sold on here. It would keep its value too. If your thinking about it it is unmarked and Steve is great to deal with and always has some interesting toys if you go to pick it up too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdy Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I have just played this bass again and its as good as I remembered it. You will not get a better 5 string passive P bass anywhere on the planet. I am no fan of antigua but this bass is stunning in the flesh, its more of a grey burst and the fingerboard wood is delightful. I told Steve that he is mad to be selling this as it would cost well over £3000 to get one of these from the States. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that is including shipping and taxes... (Danish taxes and VAT, though, and I think that is more reasonable in the UK). However, this bass is still an incredible bargain. Had I not had an LM5 on the top of my list - and bought one just last week - I would have taken this one! Edited May 21, 2010 by BoomBass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, VAT is 25% in DK and duty around 5% - so around £4.3k to get a KBP into the UK? This makes the antigua precision an absolute bargain!

This makes the antigua precision an absolute bargain![/quote] VAT in DK is 25%, and tax is 3%, but accumulated it is 28,75% plus they add a standard £21 administration fee. So, as I said, importing a new KBP5 into Denmark would cost $4831 (given the shipping cost is $400), which roughly equals £3360 (plus the £21 fee). But still, an absolute bargain - and one I am still monitoring quite closely... ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
