Could you please explain more about the baggage restriction. You mentioned that if ur taking your bass then don't bring your tuner etc. Do you mean that if ur going to take them then keep your bass, tuner and pedals all seperate? oe don't take them at all?

[davemarks]

@nendo Put your leads, pedals and accessories in your luggage that will go in the cargo hold of the plane. Wrap them up inside your clothing to stop them from getting damaged. Keep the instruement alone in the case. Less weight is a good thing and fewer electrical components or cables is always gonna be a good thing at airport security.

I noticed you mentioned something about plug adapters. Anywhere in specific where I could get something like this for a decent price?

[davemarks]

@zerosk8er918 You can usually get them for very cheap from hardware stores, rather than waiting till you are at the airport (classic error!)

Great tips as ever Dave.

Could you possibly help- I want to go to the shops to buy a new bass- could you explain how I put one foot in front of the other in order to walk down the street?

I also might need a poo later on, are you front to back, or back to front kinda guy?

I need to know what is best.

Thanks.

Thanks Dave for all these useful 2 minutes new videos!

This one is really useful for me because I'm gonna take the plane for a gig tomorrow! (well, today to be precise).

So thanks for your devotion and don't get hurt by any of the assholes spreading their crap over here!
