This one, gentle men. You won't believe how good it is,read the review. Look at the color ^^ Green one is better for some people though

Bought from Thomann. 6% tax.

Also unlike last time you now no need to go to custom, they will deliver to the nearest post office.

Thanks Buddy. Do they provide tracking? How do they contact you?
Too bad they don't carry that brand

Same here, dealt with Thomann and it was no hassle at all. Have you tried the Jack Cassidy bass here?

Let us know how is it with Andertons!

Hmmm, i haven't tried it yet but i think Chowny has better value and more suitable for my preferred tone. Can't slap on Jack Casady also (Sounded Horrible)
Gotta love vintage mini humbuckers tongue.gif

I think i'll order strings or something cheap to try it out first

I wouldn't worry much on the store, Andertons any more than the couriers.

Make sure it is insurance covered as packages get lost all the freakin time, big or small.

Don't think so, should be 6% of product price.

Do you guys need to pay the price displayed on the website + 6% tax?
Cuz the original prize is already been taxed by their own country right?

No, you pay the price without GST/VAT, hence if the price displayed is before VAT, do ask first.

After that once it reaches here its Price + Postage + 6%
