[*]Bloke finds dead bloke's bass in vacated premises.
[*]In accordance with local laws, flogs it cheap to bloke 2.
[*]Bloke 2 sticks pics of his 'new' bass on TB.
[*]Mass swooning until bloke 2 mentions how he came by it.
[*]Some TB'ers think bloke 2 should pay market value of bass ($ Crillions) to dead bloke's family
[*]Big row on TB
[*]Bloke 2 says 'None of your beeswax, evil TB-er's' to TB-er's who are evil.
[*]Much muttering.
[*]New TB threads opened /deleted
[*]More rows on TB
[*]Bloke 2 joins BC. Everybody says "Hi, bloke 2 with dead bloke's bass. Nice bass"
[*]No rows on BC
[*]Evil TB-er's from row on TB grass bloke 2 up to dead bloke's family. Also some not evil TB-er's.
[*]Dead bloke's daughter says "No biggie, bloke 2. Enjoy the bass. Pics, please"
[*]Everybody happy (-ish)

If this happened in England and if bloke 2 has sex with daughter after a night of martini and ballroom dancing... then kills evil TB'ers in either a car or boat race. Then you have a bond film

That's pretty good, but I feel you've lost some of the impact of the original story. Where's the [color=#ff0000]love interest[/color], for example?

Well, Not much time to update, But absolutely hysterical reading the last few posts.
You guys certainly do know how to make it interesting.

For the record, the original bass owner has been discovered to NOT be deceased.
He is alive and sharing stories of his days playing bass with Buddy before his death, and the Crickets several times afterwards.

I will come back later tonight and post some more updates, and try my best to get some pics up, From what I understand too many people viewed them and they exceeded their bandwidth limit, so Photobucket won't allow them to be seen until the 27th when my account limits are restored to zero.

Sorry I'm cheap I know.

I will see about putting some up through a different source. My avatar on TB is the only one I know of that isn't blocked. Same screen name.
We'll see if this one works............

Great, now you can find out when the bass got its pink finish. I would laugh my head off if it has always been pink and the solder joints had nothing to do with a refinish but were a repair job.

If you reduced the file size before uploading them shouldn't you be able to get more views for your virtual buck?

Okay, I will still be getting a few pics up as soon as I can,

Just wanted to fill you guys in on a few things about the current situation-it is BEYOND a crazy situation, an even more unbelievably strange story, definitely one to be remembered.
I literally have now been through at least 5 different stories and I am pleased to say (Now that I have talked to the family) That I FINALLY know the truth.

Unfortunately all I had to go off of was the stories I had been told from the guys that I got it from, I have even found out that even more of what I was originally told was untrue.

None the less, It has an exciting and peaceful resolution.
No the original owner is not deceased he is still here and able to tell his story. I am getting tid bits here and there everyday and so far it is one very cool story. I'm kinda waiting until I get the full story and of coarse the families permission to post some of the more personal details before getting into it.
I'd much rather just tell it all at once and just copy & Paste for both BC & TB at the same time.

It is more than likely going to be pretty long so plan on it being a bit of a read, Sorry :D

Not to mention I am not to thrilled with all the fabricated stuff that I have been told in the beginning of this saga. So forgive me but this time I wanna make sure I have my facts straight, I'm sure you guys understand. At least I hope you do.

Gotta feed the little ones but as soon as I can I'll figure the pic thing out.
