zbd1960 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 I use Allianz for all of mine. There are others. If you're a member of MU then you can get cover through them I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJE Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 I always put mine on the household insurance for home and away cover as well as accidental damage. They were specific named items and I made sure they knew it was going to be used for gigging and out in public and was still covered. None of the companies we have used over the past 10 years have had an issue and it was a tiny amount added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 New Moon for me. Lots cheaper than Allianz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkypenguin Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I can't cover my bass on my contents insurance so I use Allianz, and they cover both my basses and my rig, and that covers everything including unattended vehicles. Ben 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyNameIsMark Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I have an email from Allianz saying their cover includes leaving stuff unattended on/by the stage "under the supervision of CCTV / venue staff". Plus I got unattended vehicles, all be it in a fixed luggage compartment. Both important in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've made claims from them for work related things and it's been well handled. New Moon are agents and the cover is actually provided by Ecclesiastical Insurance - another very big player with a good reputation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassfinger Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 If you join the MU you get 2 grands worth of free instrument cover. Mine are itemised on the house insurance, but when out and about that MU cover leaves me warm and fuzzy inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oomo Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Not for bass, but I've used https://www.larkmusic.com/ for the last 10 years or so. Haven't had to make a claim yet, but their price/cover has been great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toneknob Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 New Moon as well. I like that you can specify home/UK/Worldwide cover per item. As with all insurance it all boils down to the process and experience when you need to claim - which thankfully I've never had to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass_dinger Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I used to use my household insurance, but was slightly worried that they never asked about the instruments in question. "A guitar " is not the same as "a 1995 Lowden O22 with custom neck and L R Baggs pickup ". So I will try the options specified here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass_dinger Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I decided to use New Moon, and was very impressed. They offered zero excess - they will pay out in full in the event of a claim. I can also switch instruments between home use and outdoor use, with no administration charge, should I decide that I want to take out my acoustic guitar. So, New Moon is my choice.
