Need A Shipping Box

DrBob

For a 1x12 Combo,
A Budda Superdrive 30
58cm wide,
54cm tall,
27cm deep,
Ideally with those polystyrene protective corner thingies,
Amps currently in Glasgow,
Need to get it to Dorset.

Anyone got one ?
Or failing that anyone driving Glasgow-Dorset soon ?

Help a brother out ?

I'm trying a new more concise style of post, what do you think of it so far ?

I hate it - the rambling anecdote laden witterings are far more entertaining 

id like to add that you'd be helping two brothers out by supplying this box

It's better to give a brother room coz he's about to go boom.

Have you thought about asking Guitar Guitar in Glasgow if they have any amp boxes that might fit or come close?

Not very hard then. Raid skips on industrial estates, ask in eletrical shops, supermarkets etc. Buy one on ebay?

Raid skips on industrial estates ? Baby I'm not from Havana (five points to anyone that gets the film reference !) but yeah I get where you're going. Thing is, as much as anything I'm after those burly polystyrene corners you get in them !

you will also find those polystyrene pieces in skips.

Loads of bubble wrap and Gaffa, then any size box will do!

I once sold a really expensive Marshall head to a US guy - and I contacted Marshall and they sent me all the packaging that they use when shipping amps. They did charge me though, but it was worth it.

Try Flynn Amps in Glasgow (near Otago Street) really nice guys and I'm sure they would help

EDIT - seems they've moved to Commerce St

You're dead set on this skips idea aren't you ?

I sourced a lot of boxes from skips for a house move some years ago.

I thought it was quite a good idea, & happily rehomed piles of boxes, up until the point I found a Stanley knife blade embedded in one of them - I was a bit more cautious after that.
