    Insurance

    Just to close this one off, we got in to the unit on Thursday.  Thankfully no damage to any of the gear.

    Think we've been a bit lucky.

    Still haven't sorted any insurance, though... 😳  but I did take my bass home with me. :)

    What is this wire? (Bass Collection, SGC Nanyo)

    An enforced break due to our studio burning down (well, not quite, I hope) and RSI (pain in base of thumb), has meant I have at least had time to work on my £75 Gumtree acquisition - a 5 string Nanyo...

    Now, I've never taken a bridge off a guitar before, so I'm wondering what this wire is?

    I'm assuming it's just an earth, and if I shove it back into its hole, just leaving the wires to contact the bridge, everything will be fine and dandy, in about a year's time, when I put it all back together?

    On a positive note, I can also confirm that white vinegar and baking powder works wonders on gunk and superficial corrosion on all the gold hardware:

    Only left it in to soak for about 5 minutes - I didn't want to risk complete lack of gold... reckon patina is the way to go... 😀

    Wonder if the OP's gear escaped unscathed.

    So do I...

    Although, I have given up worrying now.

     

    Edit: Still no access - see what happens next week.

    Well, still no update other than we won't get on site until power is restored and "dangerous materials" have been cleaned up from site.

    At least it gives me time to sort insurance out.

    MU is another good shout - I've just never thought of myself as a musician... lol

    Looking at the photos online last night, the wind was blowing in the right direction for us.  I haven't had any updates this morning though, only that the road is still closed.

    Good shout on the house insurance - I'll take a look, thanks.

    It may be a bit late to ask, since tonight's practice was cancelled due to our rented industrial unit being on fire, but, please talk to me...

    1. Can you get insurance to cover musical equipment in general, that covers for gigs etc (if we ever get any)?

    2. Any recommendations for insurance for items kept in industrial units (contents cover)?

    I realise I'm just rambling, but it's taking my mind off the events of tonight... Our actual part of the unit isn't yet on fire, nor does it seem water damaged, but my mind has already moved on to asbestos/contamination... when will we get our gear back/if we get our gear back... 😬
