Are you that far from Wal to drive there yourself ? That way you get to see the service being done hopefully and then try it out before you leave to make sure its all perfect. Make it a few days holiday or something like that if its too far to drive in a day. Dave £2000 is as high as they insure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnR Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 If it is just an electrics service then you should remove them for all the reasons you give. It is a really simple task as pickups and preamp interconnects use snap on connectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnR Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 It has been a while since I removed the preamp myself. I think you might have to desolder the connections to the DI out. If you aren't confident you are welcome to bring it to me and I will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very kind John, I'm just a bit reticent to mess about with it. Where are you mate? here is a pic of the bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumple Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I used to use UPS for anything of value but they totally trashed an amp I sent to France recently, I can't even work out how they managed to destroy it! now I don't trust any off them.

Grangur Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 In May I'll be meeting in Leeds, with a colleague from Scotland. After the meeting I'll be driving home and on to see my customers in the south counties. So, I could drop it into Wal. So as you may not be a tearing hurry, maybe my colleague and I can help? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviedee Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Hi. Folks just an update on this, I used UPS and had the bass insured for £5500 by a 3rd party,. Thanks for all the advice and special thanks to Grangur for the kind offer! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
