FWIW, here's a pic I took last night of the shipping damage to the Dawgfish.

It's pretty deep, but it doesn't affect playability since it's so high up the fretboard (18th fret). Still, the lesson I wish to learn (and pass on to my fellow fishermen) is the importance of putting something like newspaper between the strings and the fretboard when shipping, especially when the bass is not in a hard case.

The Dawgfish has a scar, but is ready for action -- any time, anywhere. :bassist:

Looks like I'm going to have to pull the pots though. They just won't come clean no matter what I use. :hmm:

Hey Bart - Chick's dig scars! (So say's the Mountain Bike crowd anyway...)

Me - if it's a bolt on and I'm not shipping in a case. I generally pull the neck, wrap it, box it, box the body and then pack and box the two boxes ... gigbag's make nice padding ....
