There's a couple of sellers who provide various sized shipping boxes for guitars and basses. Might be worthwhile getting one from them?

Just for future reference, if anyone ever needs guitar/bass boxes for shipping purposes, just pop along to your local music store, and you will probably find that they will be happy to give you some for [u]free[/u].

A lot of the shops unpack the guitars upon delivery and throw the boxes away, and if you look at the back of such shops on their delivery day, you will probably see them all piled up waiting for the refuge lorry to take them away.

I have done it many times, in fact, they usually tell me what day they are expecting their delivery, and to come in later that day.

I threw one away yesterday....

[gary mac]

Once I know what I'm picking up, I can tell Grangur and being the fine fellow that he is, he will supply a box to suit.

We are getting there.

[gary mac]

I know it's a bass but don't know whether it's in a case or not.
