Mathis isn’t a factory option on combustion models. Has to be done aftermarket but east enough to do.
Dude, if you're gonna post a picture of the backside, you gotta post a picture of the front side!
That's a looker!
Congratulations, you are a Dingwallaholic.
Proper term is Dingwallphiliac. It’s on the website somewhere.

The neck looks really cool, too.

That whole process is for every single time you import outside of EU. Imagine my frustration doing this 3 times for a package of 3 sets of strings earlier this year
Also the 25% import tax includes the 19.95$ shipping so the 112.5 order comes to 181$, 36$ tax. And I agree, the local transport fee is egregious, but state post apparently has monopoly on domestic non-EU freighting and so will charge anywhere between 22$ and 36$ for shipping from the tax warehouse. I paid 27$ for the 3 string sets I mentioned earlier (each time).
The website for calculating private import tax is here Beregn din told - Skat.dk (in Danish, my apologies), you can see the numbers crush us in real time there if you like
Also, orders above 167,33$ are subject to yet another 2.7% toll (which is again under the 25% import tax!), so buying bulk doesn't help either, in most cases.
Importing in the EU is a PITA. If you find a seller that is willing to ship to you, that is. And then the items are terribly expensive including all costs and fees so that you can only sell them for a huge loss later. Meaning trying something out and selling it again is not really an option.
After decades of this annoying situation I am considering going local only in the future. The sacrifice in time and money on intl. might not be worth it on the long run.

In the meantime yesterday I received a back massager from russia, I paid online by credit card, it got sent by the russian post and was delivered to my home by the french post (colissimo).
Zero import tax, vat or papers, no idea how they did it but they did

It might be cheaper just to fly to the USA and pick up the strings in person!
Back in the club, woot!
now I just need to put the black knobs and black tuners (already in order) on it to make it perfect!

I remember seeing this when you first got it. I’m not into the d roc per-se but that is one that checks all the right boxes. Hope you’re loving it!
with that, back to the rear strap button. The Chinese combustion models do not come with it is what I was saying. It can be done as a modification after the fact.
Yes I am totally loving that bass, and it's a shame that the Chinese combi's don't have that strap system but as you've rightly said it can be easily retrofitted.
Good luck
That blue starting to grow on you? It sure is a great looking bass!
