We can't wait to see it. But we will wait, won't we?

THIS!!

 

[SteveC]

Well, it's 15 degrees right now. I think that's the high for the day.
It's in a gig bag in the box.
I figured I'd wait until the box felt "room temp" and take the bass out and let it sit in the gig bag for a while and then sneak a peak.

 

[Nightman]

Right! Let it acclimate for a few days, at least. That’s no time compared to how long it’s been already. It’s home! Just put it somewhere out of sight and forget about it until hump day.

Smart call Ray…. I would err on the side of caution

lol
You boys are bad!
I’m sure it’s fine to be opened now Steve.

 

[Nightman]

I’m not certain what you are trying to say, Joe, but I hope you are not trying to get Steve to open the box before it’s time?

Don’t do it, Steve!

In the past, I have let a packaged bass sit for a reasonable time, opened the box and if the outside of the case feels cold I wait a couple of hours and then crack the case and put my hand inside. If it is still cold inside, it is too soon to get the bass out. If it is only cool in the case you should be able to get it out with no problems.

I have seen and “heard“ the effects of not letting a guitar acclimate when I worked at a guitar store in Upstate New York. Sub zero temps can certainly do a number on a new finish.

 

[etoncrow]

May I suggest if you have dogs, wrap the case in their favorite blanket and make it a Three Dog Night

[Nightman]

Hump day is just a coupe of days away. No wine before it’s time!

 

[SteveC]

It's been inside for over 5 hours so far. I'm guessing it'll be fine by later this evening. I'll trust my senses and be patient. If it's tomorrow than it's tomorrow. It wasn't brutally below zero for any of it's trip so that's a plus.

 

[Nightman]

Uh, 32 degrees is freezing! 0 degrees is brutally below freezing. IJS

 

[SteveC]

Around here anything 20 and up is balmy. Shirts come out around 40 and sunny.

That's one reason I moved to Texas. It was 80 degrees and sunny today.

 

[Nightman]

I was stationed at Grand Forks AFB for about 18 months as a security police and worked the alert pads, which was located outside. I don’t recall ever hearing the word “balmy” as it relates to temperature while I was there.
Times have certainly changed.

 

[SteveC]

Well, if you’ve lived here all our life…but 18 years is a long time. You should have acclimated in that time.

 

[Nightman]

18 months! Any longer and I would have stolen one of those B52s and flew the heck away from there.

Sorry, that’s what I meant. I suppose 18 months is barely time to get used to anything.

 

[Nightman]

I don’t know about that! It didn’t take me long at all to get used to Thailand. Not long at all!
