It's funny how personal preference here is often taken as laying down the law. It's not, it's just a preference, there's nothing to argue about or defend, etc. I prefer Misty as a ballad, obviously...
Duties & Customs charges in the US are kind of a crapshoot. Sometimes you'll get hit with fees and sometimes you won't. The rate itself depends on the country of origin. I ordered a $4k bass from...

Ah yes, the old "where does the thumb go" dilemma... When I did the Rock/Blues thing, like most, the thumb was always visible over the edge of the neck. Once I got serious about Jazz, the thumb...
