Just when you thought that daft packaging topics were finished

[Happy Jack]

The coffee mug is there for scale.

The brown paper is to fill the empty space.

And what have I actually bought?

Yes ... it's a clip-on tuner.

They've Excel - ed themselves there.

Jack's famous last words a few hours before delivery of that item happened: "It's a clip-on tuner, they can put it through the letterbox, can they?" Er, no they couldn't...

[Bobthedog]

Packaging aside, I have both that one and the StroboStomp. Probably the best clip on and pedal tuners I have owned.

Even by my very low standards, that's appalling.

Last time I saw you posting with packaging content, you had @Silvia Bluejay in the box "for scale".  Mind you, It was a decent size for the DB that came with.

Paging @Silvia Bluejay ...

Amazon used a bigger box than that for Shalla's ball... seems there's a pattern.

A different pic from the one we posted at the time. Better sense of scale I think.

And it shows the Ali Kat in the background, too.

Is Silvia any good for metal?

Heeheehee  (Sorry Silvia)

Is @Silvia Bluejay the advertised anti-intruder device?  Does @Happy Jack keep her in that box ready to leap out at unsuspecting ne'er-do-wells?

@Happy Jack you'll have to get a cat, those boxes are our cat's favourite 😎

Not in a million years - it'd be me or the cat. I hate them.

It's been done before, I think?

Some awful punk band from the 70's.  Woz it X Ray Spex  or someone like that ?

Yust!

Nothing!

I once bought an IC, it was about 1/2" square.

It was packed between two foot-square plastic frames.

In a box, with vacuum packing.

In a larger box, with paper packing.

In a box about 2 1/2 feet square.

 

 

I think someone had a sense of humour...

 

From the same company (CPC) I still have a box I use for odd musical instrument parts like tuners etc. It has the word 'OVERPACK' on the side in large letters, which seems more than a little shameless.

Oh dear the SoCo is starting to affect my typing...

Hurrumph!! 

Germ Free Adolescents is a great song. 

 

Ps. On reflection 'Hurrumph' isn't the most punk exclamation of discontent. 

[fleabag]

No one says hurrumph anymore
