Just ring the HR up, you'll get it back, sometimes when your on the next ship even. Just seen your on the ship now, just go see pursers or ring your agent it'll get sorted. Neither the cruise line or my agent touched it. Proshit just told me to speak to P&O. P&O wouldn't touch it. Said that getting the bass to the ship is my responsibility.

Also lost my bass going from London to LAX, via Las Vegas >.< Got Lost at Las Vegas, didn't get it back till 2 weeks later when I was in Hawaii. Luckily one of the many Filipino musicians onboard lent me a bass lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny-79 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Great read thank you. What is you opinion of slackening the strings off ? Some say do it some say don’t. My only experience of flying with a bass is when I brought my stingray back from America. It was in a standard MM hard case (that did receive a little knock on the corner, the corigated part collapsed like it’s designed to) but apart from that when I opened it up the other end, soon as it came off the belt, opened it all good. Cost me $25 in extra baggage and I just walked straight through with it. I was second hand so that might explain that. It’s also got a rosewood board. Doubt I’d get away like that again today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanx Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 What do the big bands do? Just wondering if the logistics were much different when tens of guitars / even more countries are involved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twigman Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) So three years on from buying it and having toured USA and flown backwards and forwards to mainland europe a dozen or so times with it I can recommend whole heartedly the SKB iSeries cases - the 5014-44 for my precisions : https://www.skbcases.com/music/products/proddetail.php?f=&id=647&o=&offset=&c=84&s=75 I now have a 5014-OP open cavity too https://www.skbcases.com/music/products/proddetail.php?f=&id=655&o=&offset=&c=84&s=75 In my opinion there is nothing better that you could put your bass in for flying. And it's got wheels so you can drag it around without putting your back out. Just be prepared, particularly in USA, to be stopped by customs - they're convinced it's a firearm.

Gunsfreddy2003 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Hello, Obviously no-one has flown much recently let alone play music but I am flying in November and taking my bass with me. Jet 2 is looking like the best price at the moment but their website is very clear on maximum size for carry on hand luggage and my bass is much bigger than that! Anyone had any recent experience with this airline that they can share? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 No experience with them, but re a bass & flying accept it`s going in the hold so get a case suitable for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep my research has led me to that conclusion! I have a handful of OHSC cases but no flight case which is a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite common to remove the neck (of a suitable bass, obviously..! ...) so that it can be carried on as hand luggage. Just sayin'.
