JapanAxe Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) [quote name='dr_skitz' timestamp='1349779038' post='1830305'] Hi dude, Like the bass! Couple of quick questions:[list=1] [*]What shape is the neck? [*]Rough idea of courier/postage to Wrexham, North Wales? [/list] Cheers! [/quote] Hi Doc 1. I'm tempted to say 'shallow C' but to be honest I'm not really up on all those letters. The neck is wide and substantial, but not clubby - definitely not narrow as narrow as a Jazz neck! Finish is semi-matt (to me). 2. I recently sent a 6-string by Parcelforce and that cost £28.20. I will check out some other couriers and post the results here - not all will offer sufficient insurance cover!

JapanAxe Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 Using Parcelforce (but booking via Parcel2Go), next day AM delivery is £15.59 - let's just call it £15. That includes £200 insurance cover - bizarrely (1) slower services only offer £100 cover, and (2) they won't let you pay to enhance it for musical instruments. It's my risk that's being covered, so I'd be happy with that. Any offers, PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UPS are the couriers and you can insure up to the full value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
