spongebob Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I've sent loads of basses before with couriers, but..... I've agreed to sell my Brother's Marshall (guitar) 30w amp for him. I'm getting it on Sunday, so may put it on BC as well (comes with an equally mint Epiphone Les Paul in a flight case as well!) Probably end up on E-bay.....fine, but how on earth do I package an amp for a courier? I've only ever sent basses in hard cases - so I'm not quite sure how to do it. It hasn't got any original box or anything with it, so any suggestions as to what I can do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodyratm Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Bubblewrap and attach cardboard. But wrap it with bubblewrap within an inch of its life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Yep, when I sent an amp I made sure that I put plenty of bubble-wrap around it, then put it in the box with extra cardboard - in effect making the box twice as thick - then in any space left, pack it tightly with newspaper. Then, overkill on the parcel-tape on the outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle psychosis Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Double boxed and loads of bubble wrap. Assume it will be dropped and plan accordingly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Foxen Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 It it is one with transformers, jam a bit of wood between them, so if dropped, less bending can happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
