Bassy Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hi i need to pick your collective brains! I'm going to bring a 5 string Jazz over from the US. What's the best way to do it? a: in a hard case b: remove the neck and hopefully put the body and neck in the overhead lockers c: ship it back. Also has anyone been stopped by customs bringing a guitar into the UK? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassy Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 Thanks, maybe i'll buy a samsonite suitcase and put it in that. [quote name='synaesthesia' post='163030' date='Mar 25 2008, 11:13 AM']If you are flying with it it is possible to pack it in your luggage; neck demounted. I've done this loads of times with Ibanez, Yamaha, Status, and Warmoth Fender style Bolt on basses. Once or twice I hand carried the neck and put it in the overhead cabin in the 80s, I think you can't carry it like that anymore. Last time I flew with an instrument was in Jan 2006 with a bolt on Yamaha dismantled in the luggage.[/quote] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barneythedog Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I had a warmouth jazz body and an allparts neck brought over in a suitcase recently. Came through no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobiebass Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I very much doubt you will be alowed the neck as hand luggage, last year I went to barsalona on a skate trip with Death Skateboards team and they wouldnt allow our boards in the cabbin because they can be used as a weppon, pretty sure they will see a neck that way too.
