Mornats Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 After hearing about my bass tutor Matt Downer's Stringray 5 bass being stolen last week I thought I'd post a reminder for everyone to make a note of the serial numbers of your gear. If the worst should happen, it could help to track them down. Hoping all your gear stays safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Insurance companies insist on it. Photos too (which for most of us really won't be a problem!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, the first thing I do when buying a bass/cab/amp is to photo the serial number and any unique grains/wood/dings (identitfying features) and then email them to myself. I can't imagine NOT recording details of my instruments/amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immo Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) On Basoofka.net we have a possibility to enter a piece of gear into system and record it's S/N. Nice feature. However, writing down my bike's S/N haven't helped me with recovering it. Edited January 23, 2014 by Immo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Carter Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I always take photos of the entire bass including serial numbers and the receipt (if I have one) and then zip them up and upload to cloud storage. That way everything is date stamped and stored in a safe location. If you use your phone for the pictures they are are also stamped with the location, every little helps.

Graham Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I was doing this the other day as it happens, as I needed to update my Musicguard insurance, as most of what was listed on the policy had been sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
