G'day guys,
I'd forgotten I've been a memer here since June 07.I think I remember being a member of the forum that preceeded this one,& when that closed,my account was transfered to this one.Does that sound right?Anyway,not to worry,I'm here now.
I just wanted to let all you guys know how grateful I am for the magnificent support this forum has shown in helping bring something I've personally been working on,for the past 6 months,to an end.More than once,Reuel has all but given up & written off the 3 grand that Jake tried to steal off him.To cut a long story short,Reuel & I both expected new basses in the same week,back in June.We were like 2 pregnant chicks,waiting for our babies & were rather clucky about it.I'd managed to sell a Thumb NT5 bass I'd been trying to sell for over 18 months,& put that money towards a new Streamer stage 2 in 4 string.As much as I loved the Thumb's tone,I couldnt come to love the 5 string configuration,& was dying to get back to playing 4 strings.My Streamer was due the same week as Reuel's Vampyre,which I almost bought from the guy that sold it to Jake in the first place.But shipping made the sale unrealistic.Sp Reuel paid Jake,who went away on holidays,without mentioning it,& Reuel emailed me in a panic,so I told him to withdraw the money,which he did.Then Jake emailed me asking me to mediate with Reuel & get him to re-deposit the money,which he did,& the rest is history.We've been kicking ourselves ever since.
I just wanted to let all of you know,you're all more than welcome to drop by our forum anytime.I know we're Warwick freaks,baseball bat necks,neck dive up the back passage & over priced to buggery.But we're also bass brothers & we mean well.
Thanks to Shockwave,Warwickhunt,Ped,Steve Norris & everyone else that has donated money to go towards shipping & the import tax Reuel might get hit with.This speaks volumes about your characters.I dont hold out any hope of seeing any money from Jake,but I'm bloody glad that this has finally come to an end.
