yes my only fear is that they will lose my gear or
most importantly my guitar, I don't know where I could borrow a sustainor
equipped axe. I thought about shipping but I am checking suitcase and said axe
as baggage.
I am going to call American Airlines and see if
there might be room for a guitar in the cabin somewhere. Gaetano has said that
they will possibly accommodate him if it's in a soft small case.
I am taking a very minimal setup so it will fit in
a regular suitcase. may have to buy clothes when I arrive, although Gaetano has
said he may have some sharp Italian dudes for me :)
I hardly like to leave my apartment so this will be
an adventure for sure! I am looking forward to meeting many of you
there.
peace out,
J

>>i just dont know how safe this would
be.
I have no idea, but.. apart from my laptop (cold dead hands and
all that) Im checking everything... guitar... and er... suitcase... very very
big suitcase, with er... lots and lots of socks in... I have smelly feet ok? I
need socks!
In the old days, there were scary things called Carnets,
that we used to have to do... complete lists of gear with serial numbers, just
in case we sold the shit, just in case Im gonna bring a list with me.. but
basicaly my theory is this... if they nab it and delay it, then I borrow gear
and have lots of fun and some good stories... if not then.. all is
well.
I dont think they will dismantle dismantle, but Im pretty sure
they will poke about...
I have really pared down my pedal board and
stuck the really necessary on a piece of wood, partly to save space, but also
cos my cat pissed in my real pedal board, and that SURE is gonna attract the
doggies!!

well
people as im getting ready to fly ive decided to go the pedal route instead
of laptop and FCB1010 since im just doing a 1/2" hour set.
Hsas anybody
ever checked in a pedalboard with pedals,cables etc. at the airport? how
safe is this?you think they will go through this stuff and dismantle
it?
is there anything i can do so they dont mess evrrything up, like
perhaps putting a list fo everything thats inside or do you have a wiser
advice?
i know i could put all the pedals on my main case but since im
checking it in i want to take advantage and fit as much weight as possible
on the pedalboard and have room on my main bags,i just dont know how safe
this would be.
thanx for your
advice!
Luis
