RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Yeah, the link is faulty . I echo most of what's been said on here . I do wonder if the basschatter has any health issues ?? Hope it gets sorted. Tbh, we have a great mod team , and I think someone will probably take it for safe keeping . If there's no trace , maybe a bass relay or win it at a bass bash.

Guest bassman7755 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Give the bass to a local school or something, or sell it and give the money to charity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChunkyMunky Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1432378437' post='2780967'] Before the OP does anything with the bass, I think every avenue should be exhausted first. From what has been posted here, I think we're a bit sort of that yet. [/quote] This! Is there no other avenue regarding contacting the owner? Via Facebook or something?

HowieBass Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Nip to your local Halfords and see if they have any cardboard boxes that their bikes will have been delivered to the store in - I've read more than once that these make great bass mailing boxes.

TheGreek Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Why should Andrew be footing the bill for the courier?? If he's done somebody a favour, picked up a bass for them and stored it for several months at his home (and inconvenience) surely the responsibility for collecting it now lies with the "owner". As to whether Andrew has the right to sell it, surely the item has now been "abandoned" so is, in effect, Andrew's?? I'd send a message along the lines of "you have x amount of time to arrange for collection after which time i will dispose of it in any manner I see fit.." So come on Geoff, if you want the bass get your finger out and make arrangements to get it out of his home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I would not be responsible for packaging a bass that wasn't mine. What's the guys name ? Someone might know him outside of here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I know beta funk from various conversations on here. He does come across as a really nice bloke . I think he may have moved house! Apparently , he used to live not too far from me. However, over the last couple of weeks, he was selling a couple of basses , and that was from Lincoln( I think /istbc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderpaws Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Maybe Geoff bought it when he was drunk one night and can't actually remember doing it. Then this guy (Op) contacts him saying he has his bass. But Geoff doesn't want to be a cock so just goes along with it for a while til he remembers what the Op is on about.
