Let's not dirty up January any further, I'll have to check back previous years but I think it might be a record breaking one.  Plus international bass purchasing can be stressful so let's not jinx it with a declaration just yet, eh?  We eagerly await your imminent arrival and I'm taking an executive decision to mark your failure down as date of safe arrival.  Not the same thing as getting a next day delivery from Andertons etc. is it?

I'm happy with that decision m'lud.

I'm picking up a hard case for £30 of eBay later.

 

Does this ount as a teir 2 fail?

 

It's utterly essential as (1) it seems sensible to use a case to take my Sire to gigs and (2) if I don't get one for it I would have to take another bass out of its case.

1) good score!

2) I think your second point confirms it isn’t essential 😂

A thirty quid case off eBay?  Call it an accessory and be done with it, I reckon.  I like to have separate accomodation for all my basses too, I get it.
