I don't know if this is too big a project to undertake, but if there's a guy in Europe willing to do it we could Paypal our funds to him (including all possible extra Paypal fees, which would be less than a $75 international transfer fee) and have him do the bank wire from there. That way, we'd know the money would get there properly, without hassle. Now that the shipping amount has been settled this could be possible.

Spokane to London?! Talk about culture shock!!!!!!!!!    :o

The Okanogan country is beautiful, Washington State is quite remarkable, in that you can go from Rain Forest to Mild wet to Desert and Semi Arid Forest in about 400 miles, to say nothing of the geology - esp on the east side.     
 Just a pleasant 80 miles from Colville to Spokane.......I need to make a road trip east of the mountains this year, it's been far too long. I'll know I'm in my birthplace because there's a large letter "C" underneath a white cross on one of the hills above town   :)
 


Yes, the culture shock has been huge!  Then again, that's part of the reason we did it.  I'm sure I'll make it back to Spokane someday, though, which is why I'm having my BaCHbird shipped to the US.  BTW, if you're going to get a new pickguard made from someone local, I'd love to know who you use...

Good news. I thought they would eventually figure out a way.

How long after payment did it take to to get to you?

Rob! I know you've kept an eye and more on this whole operation. Do you know if there's any kind of system in the way Bach works, compared to how the original list, the one you did, looks? Are the basses sent in any form of order?

It was seventeen days, but during the first ten or so they figured out that the bird was too long for whatever method they originally wanted to use. However it was only six days after I go the email saying it had been shipped.

Well, you have a point Uwe. Rob was very unclear to me about his destination!

I think we have to consider this good news. Sure, they're way behind and hey aren't doing this in the right order, but once they ship, it's here quickly.

The fuel stations in the UK no longer accept Czech's, or something like that...
