I'm on tour in the UK right now, and on my day off, I've been trolling around the Denmark St. music stores. In Wunjo Guitars there's a very nice 1991(as new) fireglo 4003 S8 eight string for 1495 English pounds. With the pound at it's weakest against the dollar in 10 years, this would actually be a reasonably good buy for a US forumite.
Now, here's the bonus. If one of you want to get it, I can go pick it up and bring it back after Dec 16th, thereby avoiding shipping and import charges. You can then pay for it to be shipped to you from CA. If anyone does do this, I strongly suggest that you insure the bass prior to shipping, because I can't be responsible for what United might do to it in the hold.
If you're interested, go to http://www.wunjoguitars.com and check them out. If you want to get it, let me know and I could pick it up on Monday Dec 15th. I'm flying back to CA on Dec 16th.

There's also an Electro 450 and a 1966 450/12 in Denmark St. too, but I'm only bringing one back !
