Serious packing for a non standard shape.

 

It's how the last couple of basses I've had from China have been packaged.

I've seen some horror stories, broken headstocks, heels etc.

Just got my amp back from a bloke who's had it for about a year, old Line 6 Spider IV 75 combo (incidentally @jonno1981 sold me this when he was in the business); that said, I'm not really a huge fan of this amp, only really used it for home recording.

 

The pickups are really quite decent, suprisingly so; I'm actually wondering whether it's worth dropping in a new pair of P94s to be honest, although I do prefer the visual aesthetic.  It's completely silent from a grounding perspective.  Nice!

You have my sympathies.

That the one with the “insane” channel aka wasp in a jamjar? Still a lot of fun!

Yep.  And all the patches.

Tiny upgrade.

 

Popped in a pair of P94s and changed the knobs to amber coloured ones (only because I shattered one of the originals getting one of the potentiometers out).  From a visual aesthetic, I'm of the opinion the 90s look better than the humbuckers.

 

I'm still staggered how good this is.

You are not alone, they look great. Definitely tones down the bling factor.
