They got this bass at the Dallas vintage guitar show, 

12.3k usd before shipping/tax/duty, etc....  not a crazy price considering today's market.
(you don't pay the sales tax if you are exporting)


as always, not affiliated with the shop, but they are one of the most reputable vintage guitar dealer in Japan, and probably in the world... look at their inventory....

 spyders are hte bomb.  if this had come up before the DW then i woulda jumped on it. iprefer the cone headstock, tho.  those guys have an interesting inventory. '64 t-bird (gotta ask the price, so ya probably can'r afford it).  lotsa early f@nders, if yer into that sorta thing.  good luck to all!

Whew.....I was afraid it would be a Cone headstock.  That's the one I've been looking for.  The last Spyder I saw for sale was $15K.

Too Late The Hero!

AFAIK, there are no duties/tariffs collected when repatriating goods originally produced US. At least that's how it worked with the Demeter VTHF-300M I recently purchased on Reverb from a chap in the UK. Just need to make sure the seller declares it as such.

Has anyone here had any dealings with Guitar Traders/Nick? I've been trying to buy another instrument they have listed, and after a week, I'm on the verge of giving up.
