Buying a Bongo from a far away place- need help badly

Hi TB and TPB people! I want to buy a Bongo 6 HH Sterling Silver Finish with Black Pickguard. This is gonna be my X-mas gift from dad this year!!

The other reason I want to buy this is coz my old bass, Ibanez SR505 was stolen. Someone broke into my dorm room and stole it.
It was really hard to deal with since it was a very great sounding bass. I even wanted to stop schooling because of it.

I really want this bass so bad! Just by reading TB people comment about it, some youtube videos, I feel like I sound checked it already!

So I'm from Philippines and there are no Musicman products here. The only contacts I have is my uncle in Denver, my dad in Japan. Dad wanted me to find a way to contact theperfectbass.com and ask them what my options are.

As far as I know, my dad never tried buying anything online. Me and my dad are noobs when it comes to buying stuff online.

So my plan is to let my dad (japan) do the payment online and send it to my uncle (denver) and then send it to me. I emailed the TPB customer service and they said that they don't deliver Musicman products outside US, which is sad.

Right now, the thing I need help the most is the process. I don't really understand most of it. Buying online, sending stuff, shipping stuff, basically everything that concerns me buying a bongo.

What other options do I have guys? Is it possible that I can get a hold of this bass ever?

PS: Sorry for the really long post. I just need help so bad.

Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays all!!

Unless I'm misunderstanding something this seems quite simple. Have your Dad in Japan send your uncle in Denver the money for the Bongo. Have him purchase it and have it shipped to Denver. Then have your uncle ship to you.

Mmmm! That sounds simplier than my idea!

Thanks! I'll open up this topic to my dad soon!
