Carvale, The bass was purchased from Yita Music in china. It was in a 2 layer cardboard carton with a frame in it. The bass was tied at the bottom and halfway up the neck, where the frame rubbed a dent in the back of the neck and a few inches below where the neck broke. The insurance was only $110 of coverage. Just enough to buy Chuck Traeger's book and a couple of beers. @months later I'm still waiting for the ins. and some Acraglass to get started on the repair.Haven't played a note, but it's beautiful.Wooly
