Radiotrib Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I don't believe this!! http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Lin...itar?sku=511674 I wish I lived in the USA. At that price, the guts from one of those would make a perfect electronics basis for starting a great left-handed bass .. (Line 6 don't do lefty basses). Damn!! Ah well .. back to the drawing board and a lot of wishing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah well .. back to the drawing board and a lot of wishing! They'll ship to the Netherlands. It'll cost an extra $100 or so. If you can find the same thing on ebay, you can ask the seller to remove the neck before shipping--it'll cost much less that way (under $50). If it goes by Air Parcel Post, chances are you won't be hit with customs fees either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fookgub Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Last time I checked, Amazon had a great price on a lefty Variax 500 guitar. Same electronics as the high end models, same price as the bottom of the line. I've been planning a Variax project for a while, but I can afford the guitar yet. Too bad, becase it may be gone by the time I get the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiotrib Posted January 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 They'll ship to the Netherlands. It'll cost an extra $100 or so. ... snip ... If it goes by Air Parcel Post, chances are you won't be hit with customs fees either. That's a nice thought, but unfortunately they don't ship Line6 kit out of the USA ( http://mf.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/mf.cfg/php/...hp?p_faqid=1405 ) and on top of the shipping cost, the BTW (Sales Tax) would also put an additional 20% on the price. Maybe I'll ask an old friend to pick one up for me and bring it over next time he comes to Europe ... Cheers, Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToneMonkey Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 I'll be over your direction in a couple of months. If it works out cheaper to send it over here, then I can bring it out with me. If I'm driving over, then I could probably go into Den Haag. If not then I'll probably be in either Amsterdam or Leiden asleep on a table or chained to a lampost (it'll be my stag weekend) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not then I'll probably be in either Amsterdam or Leiden asleep on a table or chained to a lampost (it'll be my stag weekend) That's a very fine offer T/M but I think the restrictions apply throughout Europe. In fact, I realised that I could one of my pals in the US to buy one for me, and then dismantle it and just send a small box of bits over. Being left-handed, I don't need the body/neck/tuners/pickguard ... just the juicy bits, and a box of miscellaneous electronic items might well get past the tax authorities as "spare parts". Plus, I could offer the unused bits up again on e-bay and recover a few $$ to cover the shipping ... Hmmm ... where's that pocket calculator ..... Oh and good luck with the stag do. You certainly chose an interesting place to "let it all hang out one last time". It's not such a bas place to get handcuffed to a lamppost ... I originally only came over here to work on a 3 month contract ... and that was 20 years ago ... Be careful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
