bakerster135 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Does anyone have any tips on where I could purchase a suitable box or packaging for posting a Jazz Bass neck? I'd rather just buy a box than carve up and a load of cardboard and stick it together!... If anyone can help, it'll be much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamfist Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 If you can get a solid cardboard tube to fit, generally made for artwork, they are extremely protective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headstock Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 and loosen the strings a bit, if it is going on a plane. then in the box lot of bump - stuf, like paper, foam, egg boxes etc. fill it up. Wrap the whole bass in plastic before putting in the box.secure the headstoch with carton (like in a bass case). the carton on the outside can be protected with xtra ducktape etc. make a handgrip on the box, just small enough that is doesn't het thrown.

Grangur Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I normally just carve a large cardboard box, add loads of bubbly-wrap stuff and bend it as needed to get it into the post box. OK, maybe not the last bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
