[quote name='acidbass' post='553327' date='Jul 27 2009, 10:45 PM']I bought one of their cables from a local guitar shop last week, and the guy basically told me that if the cable fails in any way, to bring it back to them and they'll replace it free of charge, receipt or not. I can't understand why most guitar shops wouldn't do this, they basically just send the faulty cable back and get a new one in return which they can sell at full price.[/quote] MB1. Thats funny!... Planet waves U.K distributors couldnt understand why the shops werent just replacing them (with or without reciept!) either!.

[quote name='dannybuoy' date='Jul 27 2009, 05:47 PM' post='552938'] Hi, I'm selling a bass at the moment, and also have it listed at Talkbass where a couple of people have expressed interest in having it shipped to the US. I have a hard case and plenty of bubble wrap, just need to procure a cardboard box (so if any local BC'ers have one they don't want let me know!). Does anyone know the cheapest way (with insurance included) to do this? Also, would I be best to ship it as is, or loosen the strings first? I'm thinking if it hits a warm climate the neck could bow slightly... MB1. ......Tell em to get the kettle on!....Take a holiday.... and the bass to the states!...a lot safer!

MB1. The Words "Rugby and Injuries" not have anything to do with it?......Not the safest of pastimes for a Gigging Bass player to be involved in?.Being Emailed or Text is pretty poor! though!

MB1. Tempting!....and then i realised where you are!.... Manchester to Portsmouth!

MB1. Bought an Extremely 80s Style Bargain Case from Lozbass! which now contains my 80s Aria Bass! Lawrence is a great chap to buy from and we had a interesting bass chat! would definately purchase from Lawrence again. A fellow bassist and Local Too!

[quote name='thepurpleblob' post='543635' date='Jul 17 2009, 09:55 PM']Apologies if this has already been covered - I couldn't find it. I'm looking for a recommendation for a really good strap. It's not quite money no object but I'm happy to pay proper money for a really good strap. I tend to play fairly high so massive length is not an issue.[/quote] MB1. Fender do a woven strap (not the plasticy seat belt type) with thick stitched suede ends and a oval leather fender logo on one end.Ive had red ,black and sand coloured ones for years...Absolutely Mustard Straps if you can find one.

[quote name='acidbass' post='549004' date='Jul 23 2009, 03:10 PM']Yeah, the Lifetime Warranty thing is really great, I'll be buying 15-20 mic cables very shortly and although some other manufacturers have been tempting, I think I'll go with Planet Waves for this reason alone! The little cable tie thing they have attached to each cable is really useful too. +1 from me [/quote] MB1. ..Yes!...They do exactly what they say on the lead!
