Has anybody ever taken a bass guitar onboard EasyJet? as a carry on? I know their website doesn't list guitars as musical instruments that can be taken onboard. But i'm curious to see if anybody's tried it. Anyone?

Taking a bass onboard EasyJet?

I'd like to know too as I'm probably going to be travelling with Easy Jet some time next year and would like to be able to bring my bass with me 
When Ive flown with a bass I bought it a ticket, just like it was a passenger. no problem going onboard with it. Lol.
Easyjet (and Ryanair) have strict guidelines for in-cabin luggage and a bass is way too big. I know someone who bought a seat for their guitar, it was a con because the airline sold the seat to someone else so they had to put it in the hold anyway! I've flown with my bass on 4 different airlines including Easyjet and it's been fine, I just made sure they put fragile stickers on the case and put it through the outsized luggage check-in. Of course I relaxed the strings and made sure it was thoroughly padded in the flight case with clothing, particularly round the headstock.
