Good stuff, if the neck is good that is. With a little careful restoration (which I love doing) it could become one sweet bass yet again. Not that it isn't now.

The Infinette is 99% likely my old bass; the neck crack was never a full crack and the pups are UK 'Wizard' units custom wound for me. Shame the UK / USA exchange is so poor and shipping can be prohibitively expensive from some sellers (+ taxes when it hits the UK) as I'd have bought this back.

I understand completely. When I purchased my Dolphin from a chap in the UK, I was not prepared for the custom's duty into the USA. Wow!

Can you elaborate on this? There's a Streamer CV in Japan for a great price, but I hear about these import fees that basically bring it back up to full retail.

Well, with shipping, insurance, and import fees, it tacked on around another $500 to the overall cost of the bass. Absolutely worth it, but pricey.
