Same here @wombatboter. Using TNT Express (24 hours delivery within Europe, not EEC, but Europe) will cost around 80 to 90 Euros fully insured and trackable. The shipping itself is around 50 Euros and the insurance is 5% of the value. At any price tag, I always include the shipping fee to Europe in my sales... This helps a LOT !
I did what @Acebassmusic said, with simple Super Glue and the cyano accelerator (hard to find, I know). It's still solid after a few years.
So the Loctite Epoxy Weld is a very good option.
Try this, to date, the best emulation of an Acoustic 360 and way much cheaper, ok with less options, but what matters is the sound...

Everyone who tried mine ordered one immediately...
I had the pleasure to play this very bass and I can guarantee you that it's a tone monster. The buyer will get a terrific instrument.
And Christoph is a great guy to deal with.

Out of curiosity, what's the brand of your bass ?
I think your wooden crate parcel has been inspected, because it's totally unusual...
Good idea to ask Luc to check it out. You've been totally honest on your side, Luc will be too.
I also think that asking the reference number of the parcel to Interparcel pulled a trigger.
Rainer, when you say smaller sizes, I guess you mean the 34 inches scale and the 18 mm strings spacing at the bridge... Because, owning an AC5 and having owned an AC6, it's not a small bass. 😉
That said, it's a beautiful one.

I doubt that this circuit still works as at least 3 components burned.
That said, the +9 Volts input is in the low middle part bear the white wire of your printed circuit. The black one being the ground.
If they ever sell these badly designed metal corners cabs to the USA, they should get ready to go to court and pay stupid amounts for voluntary injuries. Come on, it's a very easy fix. Just order the right ones and send them to each and every owner, first or last one. It would just mean that you recognise this very poor design. Why don't people think just a bit further...
