If you're after compact think Trace Elliot Elf and a couple of Schroeder Mini 1x8 or 1x10 cabs. One of my friends thought I was joking when I brought this to practice.
Soon changed his mind when I turned it on.
Total weight is about 10kg.
I sold a G&L recently to another BCer - however they did try many of my basses and was amazed by the classic Bass Collection Nanyo customised for me by @Andyjr1515.
The basses themselves are excellent - add the @Andyjr1515 factor and you can't go wrong.
I've bought numerous basses on eBay with mixed results. Thankfully eBay/ PayPal protect their buyers so will support most return claims.
Crossing the road can be risky...if you really want the item you'll have to take the risk
Got one...monster amps...ideal for getting back at noisy neighbours.
They can, of course, be used to blow away the audience when gigging starts again.

How am I supposed to downsize with gear like this being posted!!
I've traded with Bernard before - absolute gent - trying my best not to impulse buy..

You don't need to buy a Euro if you want a neck thru - the Korean ones are excellent VFM and IMO pretty close to the Euros. I actually sold my Euro and kept the Korean because there is so little difference..
Sold Steve my G&L M2000 - I think I was lucky that this was the only bass - he was interested in buying several!!
Steve also bought several Hard Rock Cafe and Planet Hollywood collectables and jackets.
Another asset to this fantastic forum - happy to trade again (depending on what he's after obviously)...ππ
Then this might be right up your street..

Check "Luthiery courses" on Google.
There used to be courses available local to me which I didn't take advantage of. When I finally decided to jump in they had stopped putting them on due to lack of interest.
IME Booking through a broker like Interparcel is generally less expensive than going through the courier itself.
If length is a problem (ooh err, matron) have you considered removing the neck?
Sounds like a democracy but in fact it's a dictatorship in disguise...the owner made the only vote that counts, coincidentally it's the same as mine.
Nice to know my voice was heard though...π
