If it’s still in stock on Monday, a replacement for the low A bari sax I sold a bit ago. Major upgrade to a “dream bari”. Hard to not when it’s so so so so much cheaper with the Yen, and, Ikebe is running a sale price on the thing (which is not usually a thing).

Yanagisawa BWO20 bronze bari

Like I said in the other thread…
US $12,990 + 8.375% tax = $14,077
JP $6,972 +4.3% duty (delivered) = $7,271

Savings = $6,805

I could literally not even open the box and sell it and make $1000s. It’s nuts.

Fewer. Let’s talk Monday, I should have a couple more basses sold by then, and I sold another amp today so I am down to 1 amp.

My goal is to have a Jazz, my FGN, my Dark Queen, my Custom, and my white D5. And the Paranormal.

Thats a good price on the jazz, I don’t think you would lose that much if you didn’t bond, and for the record I think you would. Especially if you replaced the single coils with splits.

honestly he might turn a profit; that bass is roughly MIA Fender in quality

This is what my Father would refer to as ‘Mum math’. My mum would take the savings on one item that was essential and then use those saving to buy other items which weren’t essential. Genius.

It’s known to me as “Trudy Logic” for a friend of mine in college. “If you move your car to overnight parking then you won’t get a ticket in short term parking, and you can use the money you saved on the ticket to take me to the diner”.

I am going to put the splits on one of the two bases. The Paranormal has Duncan Apollos, which are pretty good. Let’s see which is better sounding when the T bass gets here

No doubt. I turned a profit on the stream. I could on the FGN - they go for more than I paid on Reverb. Crazy world

I think the orange and white looks great. One of these could possibly cure my GAS for a Jazz Bass.

Really happy you are all finding this an easy and convenient way to get high quality instruments. It’s a no brainer for me but it’s awesome the chains are doing so well at taking care of international customers too. Hard to beat MIJ.

Congrats, I was hoping you didn’t miss out. Let us know how it plays.

I’ve always been a made in Japan guy (Sony, Lexus, import cd’s back in the day), but never considered a bass. One bass already coming up; but, from what what I’ve learned/picked up from people in the forum whose opinions I respect and, from your MIJ thread, Made In Japan is definitely a part of my future research/purchases.
