Good luck making it across the border with that rosewood fretboard...
You'll have a nice bass or no bass and no money...

So far I've shipped a few things with Rosewood to the states after CITES changed the rules with no issue, I'm not sure sure how much they're looking at instruments |

Nice. Very happy with mine. I wonder what preamp is in it. The Badass II is a nice upgrade, made a ton of difference on mine. Brighter, tighter and slightly metallic but in a good way to my ears. |

I can't believe someone's taking home a bass that nice for that price

I sent the seller a message and asked about the shipping issue making it across the border, he said he shipped 4 other instruments with rosewood fretboard with no issue. Worst case scenario I figured Ebay would return the money if the item was not delivered but I'm not sure about that. The auction would end around 5:30am and I usually wake up around 6am so I got up a little earlier to find that the price was still low so I bided at the last seconds and won it! Fingers crossed!

Congrats! Food for thought at that price you could get the body refinished in any color. |

A good option if being refinished is to cover the holes but let's see how it arrives. Serial # says it's from 93/94. |

I was really concerned with the fretboard deal but so far so good.

It arrived today safe and sound! The frets where so dirty they where almost black so I polished them and gave it a good clean up. I was curious to see what was under the hood. It's an Aguilar OBP-3 and it looks like a very well done installation job, the routing in the back and under the pickguard where also well done. I'll post some pics when I get a chance!

Congrats, Paulo. I'm glad it arrived safe and sound. I wish we had some more concrete info about what's getting through vs what's being seized, 'cause I'm still a bit too scared to order overseas at this point. |

Thanks Tim and pjmuck! I only ordered because it was through Ebay as they claim to cover you if you don't get what you ordered otherwise I would not try it elsewhere. pjmuck, maybe you can ask the seller to post it on Ebay and give it a shot. Good luck! |
