Hello, I'm seeking opinions from the basschat collective.
I will soon be sending my bass from the UK to the US. I have the option of sending either by sea freight, which takes ~months, or by air freight, which takes ~weeks. The bass will be shipped in a ABS hardcase.
I have no expertise in this area, but currently have the following thoughts.
- naively, I feel that the risk of impact damage to the bass is greater by air freight than by sea freight. (I have no evidence to support this)
- also naively, I feel that the risk of damage via temperature change is greater by sea freight than by air freight. (Again I have no evidence to support this)
- I'd like to pack the bass as well as I can. Does it help to stuff the inside of the case as much as possible with tshirts?
Any thoughts on this?
