many thanks for the hint.  
Wow, that one is really gorgeous.

That is going to be one big shipping box.  
 
Mica- any chance you can snap a picture of the shipping crate once it's all packed up and ready for the road?  I'd like to see the size of that sucker!!

...and don't ship it with an integrator like UPS.  
They base on a chargeable weight of 1:5....

That's tiny.  When I left for university to study bass, i took my bass in a giant fibreglass - or whatever drum cases are made of - coffin, big enough for Frankenstein.   My residence roommate definitely drew a short straw.  The thing took up almost all the floor space in the room.

Awesome, congrats!
 
I find the case pic a bit offensive, I've never done anything wrong to it (as far as I can remember) :-)
 
Plz post many pics when she arrives!
