Amazon Japan

[Simon.]

Holla folks,

Just wondering if anyone knows if the Japanese version of Amazon will ship to the UK? I've noticed that they carry a number of the MIJ Fenders that don't often come up on the 2nd-hand market and the like of Ishibashi can't/won't ship new. And at not too unreasonable prices, too.

Cheers.

Might do but you'd need to add shipping and duty etc.
That bass is 84000 Yen which is about £630, plus about £150-200 quid in shipping, duty and charges, depending on how they do it.

That one isn't actually being sold by Amazon, it's being sold by Ikebe music. I had a look and it says that if they do international delivery it would say so on the product page, which it doesn't, so they might not. It also says in the product description that the bass is new but very slightly scratched, there are no photo's of that, so you don't really know what yer getting. They seem to be selling them off cheap because they're not in good enough condition to sell at full price. That one also has American pickups rather than Japanese ones, don't know whether that would affect your wanting to buy it or not.

Hope that was helpful in some way!
