Retailers of Gibson Basses and Other instruments
GBase.com
Lists Vintage Guitars for sale from leading USA "boutique" and specialist retailers.
Remember Not all USA retailers will sell to the UK- many regard overseas, and even Alaska, as alien and
fraught with problems. Also, when buying from the States your additional costs will take the purchase price in $s to around
the same in £s.
Example: Cost $1500, + $200 shipping & insurance, +3% duty and 15% VAT (Duty is charged on the
total of the value plus shipping and insurance, then 15% VAT on the resulting figure), = $2014, £1400< £1500 depending
on exchange rates.

bass, piano and percussion needs! We also stock all grades of the great Rockschool series for guitar, drums
and bass.
