This has been quite a journey for all of us over the last few days hasn't it. And the journey isn't over yet, for a fantastic family, a young lady and a very good looking (and sounding)bass... albeit I've never owned a Gibson in my life!
I am sure Clarky will know, but 164 active Basschatters feeling strongly enough to reach in their pockets, is a pretty strong vote of confidence from any group, let alone a bunch of bass-players.
Compared with the Budget, or that dreadful man in the United States, this has been really affirming for me, as a number of us have already said better than I can. Andy and Iris (and family) I only hope this doesn't disrupt the way you can grow as a family. You ALL deserve it mate!
