    Shipping cabinets overseas - US to EU

    wow, those are brilliant ideas! Thanks so much! Just need to get creative with it. I’m thinking of using all that band merch as padding — might as well be good for something!

    Perfect, thanks! I used to get ULine catalogs, but I was never looking for those types of items. I really appreciate the tip!

    Shipping cabinets overseas - US to EU

    Thanks for the tips! The actual name of the company is "U Pak We Ship," so we're kind of on our own with the packing part. However, plastic wrap is required, and we plan to get some straps for extra security. The question I'm still pondering is how much and what kind of material I'll need to put...

    Shipping cabinets overseas - US to EU

    Ah, sorry for the confusion, I wasn't very clear. The SWR stuff is what I would have the most trouble replacing, so I would need to ship that no matter what. This shipping company has the pallet option, so we discovered we could include a few other items like the Mesa stuff, which I had...

    Shipping cabinets overseas - US to EU

    The quote I have is $1,460, which seemed reasonable for the 8x8, the 4x12, the Redhead, the Dual Rectifier head, and a bunch of cymbals plus probably some random pedals and cables. Thanks! They are estimating 6-8 weeks for this shipment, which means it will get there before we do! That's a...

    Shipping cabinets overseas - US to EU

    Thanks! I would love to just replace everything once I move, but the SWR stuff has been a bit hard to come by. So, I figured if I had to get a pallet for the 8x8, I might as well ship the other stuff, too. I believe we’re good on customs, but I’m going to double-check everything once I decide...

    Shipping cabinets overseas - US to EU

    Does anyone have any experience shipping speaker cabinets from the US to the EU? I am moving and need to ship my SWR Henry 8x8 and SWR Super Redhead from Missouri to Portugal. I have read good things about UPakWeShip, so I was considering doing the smaller pallet option. If I did that, I could...

    Open or not?

    I love open strings. I usually like the growly tone better than a fretted note. And a bonus for me: I'm stuck at the mic most of the time and my bandmate is stuck behind his drum set, so when I play an open string I can wave my fretting arm around to give the illusion of more movement on the stage!

    Haha warding spell…brilliant! Good grief, that's terrible about losing some of your hearing! I'm sorry you had to go through that, but so glad there was a silver lining to it all. And how amazing that you were able to regain your hearing! Now I'm really intrigued about the Dimension C! I use...

    Not an impropriety at all!! I'm always happy to answer questions where I can, although I also freely admit that my gear expertise is limited to me trying some things until I hear something I like, then I stick with that until the end of time. Your question about how to keep guitar speakers from...

    Fantastic! So glad you're enjoying it! Woooo…I'd really like to try an 8-string some day! Has to be easier than 12, right?! Hey Paul! So good to "hear" from you, too! We are well and as happy as a person can be during this craziness. I hope you are, too!
