SX 5 string. Rondo or dodgy China website

[bearclaw]

nah talking about the bass headstocks lol. and the colour on it is really weird

 

[b33r]

you mean the legendary SX orange tint? it's that way on every guitar and bass, although some say it's just the lighting, camera white balance and whatever.

 

[Z3r0_G]

They don't have a simple maple neck PJ bass in CAR? Or is it just not in stock if it's not listed?

MAJOR UPDATE FROM RONDO:

SX is changing the headstock design!

I think it's damn ugly.

 

[b33r]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

edit: all caps failed

 

[dudelove]

i dont think its that bad. hahah you guys are overreacting..

 

[ahkiatt]

I wanted to buff out the decal and stick on a Fender decal. Looks like now I can't do that anymore. I sure hope they still have some old stock.

 

[leonq]

=(( I think the new headstock would look good on a more modern looking bass like a Modulus (which i think resembles the new rondo headstock quite abit) or an Ibanez. It just looks wrong on a 'vintage-styled" Fender/Fender copy bass. All IMO of course.

 

[mingrong]

HAHHA CAN WE STILL GET THE OLD STOCK? Ha ha aiyah it just means we should add changing the neck to your mod list for your SX!

 

[velvetrevolver]

oh man! no, SX, no!

i've always loved the normal headstocks.

 

[ahkiatt]

I just emailed them regarding their stock. Hopefully they have everything we want/need.

 

[ahkiatt]

Wah biang eh, I emailed them a nice email like this:
I am going to make a mass order of SX basses to Singapore in a couple of weeks' time. I understand that SX has modified their headstock recently. So I need to know whether your current stock of SX basses have the old or new headstocks. The guys that are ordering prefer the older versions. Thank you.

And they whack back with an email like this:

What is a mass order ? 10 pc ?
Headstocks cannot be changed what what is shown at www.rondomusic.com

All the basses stocks are unchanged as shown at www.rondomusic.com

I just wanted to know if they changed their headstocks... What is a mass order??!!!

 

[mingrong]

hahah i think they meant like how massive is your mass order! so.. how massive is it?

but their pictures are still the same!

just a case of english more broken than a singaporean's...

 

[velvetrevolver]

what a very unprofessional reply! gosh. maybe they aint heard of singapore before.

 

[Z3r0_G]

I'm hopping on the order!

Do let me know when you're gonna order so i can confirm if i have enough cash on hand.

 

[smileymiley]

[b33r]

gonna order yet ahkiatt? hopefully you do before i change my mind...

 

[ahkiatt]

Alright guys, I just took my pay. And I'm good to go.

Those who are in, email me your models. ah_kiat@hotmail.com.

Rules will follow closely to those of sprees(go google sgspree) and the exchange rates will follow closely to the ones on dbs. As of right now, it's about 1.46-1.49.


I went to check Rondo, they need you guys to order a case as well(overseas order policy).

As of right now, I need to know the following things:
1. What are the custom fees, if any?(there might be since we are ordering quite a few basses)
2. How to pay GST? If anyone knows how to bypass it, please do tell.
3. If there are any mass order lao jiaos here, please do tell me the dos and don'ts of mass ordering.
4. How much for shipping costs?

 

[velvetrevolver]

hey man, just an input here. i think u could use Vpost, which ships to your virtual address in the US. it's much cheaper that way. i've done it for books and DVDs. not sure bout basses, but im sure there's some money to be saved there.

all the best in your mass order guys!
