The Squier Mini Precision Bass Club

€209 is the highest price I've seen yet. Which is probably why they still have it in stock.

It sucks i know but it's the cheapest price for me. Polish stores were out or never had it and shipping from Germany just kills any deal.
I only buy what's immediately available. I had bad experiences with stores listing products they didn't have and couldn't even order from a distributor.

DHL quotes a cost of €9,49 for 110x60x60 up to 10kg, from the affiliate here to Poland. I could drop ship it to you...

No Canadian retailers seem to have bothered with the pink Broncos, not even our flagship L&M chain.

USA : CME ran out, and nobody else has listed any. - So much for exclusivity.

Fender will not let EU/GB/UK retailers ship their axes to Canada nor to the US [nor US retailers to Canada], and I have checked several today, courtesy mainly of links [thanks] which have been posted in this thread.

Otherwise I might be able to have one shipped to a US broker where I have a 'box', and get them to forward it to me, for a fee of course.

I did find a few listed in GB/UK on eBay.ca [I suspect them not to be official Fender dealers, if they are willing to ship to Canada], but they want 200 POUNDS, plus an insane shipping charge.

Dude! That looks fantastic. Well done.

As I have said before. TB is about the most helpful, friendly and informative site around and Squire Mini Precision club is the most collegial and helpful site on TB.

I reckon that we should EXPECT stuff such as this to happen, on the PINK market.

Ok. Fellas... Ladies...

I have been in talks with a few machine shops about getting a gold anodized aluminum pickguard made for my mini. It's going well, but it's not cost prohibitive to only get one of these made. Quantity discounts are the way to go, plus there is a $100 minumum order to do the gold anodize. So, i'm thinking I could have 4 or 5 of these made and spread that cost out. I will sell them AT COST to you, my Mini brethren. I won't make any money on these.

I would have to know FOR SURE there would be at least 4 people who would be in on this.

I should have quotes back this week on the material cost and will be able to provide a price then.

Any takers?

Hmm.....I just bought my second Mini P (another black one today) and if I put a tort guard on the first, this may make a fun addition to the second. Looks interesting and worth considering.

If they were anodized copper color, I'd be in.

You probably could just use copper plate.

£179 = €200, US$240, or CA$310. When I switch the site to Germany, I see €193, including 16% VAT. This seems to be par for the course.

Hmmm....

Looks like either the pound is weaker than I remembered, or the euro is stronger.

Nonetheless, this shoppe abides by the LoF [Law of Fender], and as soon as I set it to 'ship to Canada or USA', or switch to the site's USA version it bails.

What we need to find is another USA source for these, or one within Canada.

I've been looking online, and nothing so far.

Last night, I did find a Squier Bronco NECK on eBay though, and the same seller had the [black] body in another listing.

Buying a whole bass new would cost less, in the regular colours, and are available in Canada.

I might be interested depending on the cost. Keep us updated!

Hopefully by next week I'll have an answer. Our shop is overworked and understaffed with COVID and holidays. He's doing me a favor, so I'm not going to push the ETA.

Nice job. Thanks for the group effort.

I would take one, without any color on it.

That's doable.

Not sure your plans, but it would look great polished.
