dr_skitz Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 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!

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! Cheers Edited October 9, 2012 by JapanAxe

JapanAxe Posted October 9, 2012 Author 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.

UPS are the couriers and you can insure up to the full value.

dr_skitz Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 One other thing I forgot to ask: is there a case or gig bag included? Thanks (again)!
