Bass shipping boxes:
virtually every new bass you've ever seen arrived at the dealer in a cardboard box, and those at QBC are no exception. For the love of all that's holy, take some cardboard boxes! Use them for mulch, fire starter, moving your entire apartment and getting a hernia in just one lift, entertaining your kids, hiding from society, or heck, shipping your bass - we don't care, so long as they're out of here. Boxes. Please take some. |

Free to schools: good, playable used bass strings. Various quality brands. We have been giving away used sets of bass strings to schools as long as QBC has been in business!

-European fiberglass trunk, used - dark blue! SOLD. You are an individual, and you want a bass trunk that makes a statement. In that long line of white trunks backstage, you can point proudly to the blue one and say (deferentially, with lowered lashes) "that one's mine". YOU are too good for some brown-toothed, rednecked American trunk that uses apostrophe's with plural's [sic]! You deserve a suave, slightly mysterious trunk that smokes too much, showers infrequently and has a mistress! Like many Europeans, this trunk is well-built and has heavy-duty casters. Though it's high quality, it is of unknown brand - like Prince Phillip, it doesn't have a last name, and like Prince The Artist Known As, it doesn't have a first name, either. JUST $1199
