Mel, that is a really kind thing to do, I'm sure someone will have it.

Yet another example of BC kindness...well done Mel

[Evil Undead]

Thanks guys.

I should also say, if anyone knows of a school, youth group, or church, something like that, without funds for buying a bass, that's cool too. Just happy for it to go where someone needs it.

Thanks

Hi Stavros

As I said to you via PM (after you tried to guilt me into posting this to you), I want this bass to go to a child or adult who is disadvantaged - poor, homeless etc. I don't mean to judge, but you have a list of very expensive nice gear in your signature. And at the end of the day, the decision is mine.

I won't be giving you this bass, sorry.

EDIT: beside which, the courier will cost more than the bass is worth, what's the point?!

Hats off to you man ...... great idea, hope we can all learn from this example.

[Evil Undead]

It's nothing really, just a bass that's no good to me. I only want it to go to someone who needs it more than I do (and I'm pretty broke haha!)

Hi Mel. Here's an offer. I will arrange a courier to collect from you. You will need to be able to print out PDF's of the shipping labels and receipts. And wrap it up safely.

I will attempt the repair that I suggested in your NBD thread. If successful I will offer to send it back to you at my expense for you to use as you wanted, or we can agree to donate to a school or worthy cause.

PM me if interested and I will give faster contact details.

Just a quick thought , I have a tanglewood that I got in bits as a project and when it all got put together I had an issue thinking the truss rod head was stripped , but after taking it apart again found the the socket was a lot deeper than it first appeared , thus adjustment was perfectly doable .
