[quote name='dougie' post='885565' date='Jul 4 2010, 05:02 PM']Cheers for the pm`s im getting from you guys,all good offers,whats the best method you guys use to ship guitars about???,only thing worrying me is i dont have a hard case or such to send it in. [/quote]
Go to a local guitar shop and ask if they have a spare box for it. Stick the bass in a gig bag with padding around the headstock and hardware. Put the bag in the box and pad it so tightly (bubble wrap or polystyrene stuff) so that nothing can move.
All that time and effort, better to either meet in person or get a cheap semi-hard case.
