Ok thats good then.
We have some stupid law over here on electronics recycling. I don't know if you guys in the UK have it?
Basically you have to pay a PRF (producers recycling fee) on each electrical item you buy, and that includes electric musical instruments. The shop is legally required to take back the old product to recycle it when you buy a new one. BUT why the f*** should I have to pay one on a bass, granted its only about €2 but still.
Who the hell recycles their basses?
