With my cash from the sale

Hah, no prob! I've been trying to at least get you a ballpark price, but you've got some interesting tweaks on there that can really only be quoted with input from Germany. Usually when you want to tweak pickup placement, they have to reprogram a CNC machine. That's not a standard charge sort of thing, they quote that on a case-by-case basis.

Unfortunately, I'll have to wait for the new distributor to come up to speed so I can get their help (and Germany's) to produce a quote. Anything I told you now would almost certainly be wrong :(

Patience is a virtue? Sorry, I know that doesn't help. I wish I could do better!!! :oops:
 
Yeah, on the German quote sheet, they have a 170€ charge for pickup routing that isn't normal. If all of my math is right and I understood the price sheet (very unlikely) and the price is a direct conversion form Euro to Dollars (unlikely as well) then I have a price that translates over to $6045.00 list price.
But I don't know... it said 114€ for the TJ pickups, but I doubled that for two... don't know if the price includes two or not.
Also said 146€ for the toggle switches (which is a huge amount of money... the wiring must be bad) and since the 2008LTD has 3 switches... I multiplied it by 3.

Ah well... here's everything.

5-string SSII-----------------------------3,722€
TJ pickups--------------------------------2x 114€
special pickup routing/placement---170€
toggle switches-------------------------3x 146€
matching headstock----------------(+)223€
-----------------------------------MSRP = 4781€ -> $6045

So it could even be cheaper if all that multiplication isn't in there.
 
I suspect that is in the ballpark... what I can do immediately is tell you how the price I charge relates to the list price. At least then you'd be able to get a feel for how much the bass will actually cost. NOBODY pays list :)

I'll PM you here in the next couple minutes.
Cheers,
Greg
 
Been running into similar problems Thomas, I'm in Kansas City, Missouri and Guitar Center is about our only option here. There's one little music store that has one used Rockbass in stock and has had it for a long time since it's quite beat up, and GC seems to think Warwick only makes black Corvettes. They had close to ten last time I looked.

I was trying to spend some quality time with a Thumb, Streamer and maybe a Rockbass Fortress if they had one to learn the body styles but they refuse to carry them.
 
Last time I was at my GC I was lucky enough to find a 2001 Thumb NT 5. I loved the playability, but it wasn't for me. I really want to get my hands on an SSII. I love all the tones I've heard from them online and I love Warwick NTs... but I want to play one! Anyone here close to St. Louis?

Alright woody... time for a translation.
A. From what you've heard, Guitar Center has five nice employers.
B. From what you've heard, Guitar Center is a good store.
C. Other

Since A really makes no sense, I'd assume you meant B or C. If C, could you please explain?
