MarshallBTB Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 A friend has had his lovely upright bass stolen last night. In Leigh on sea, Essex. If anyone notices it for sale etc anywhere then please get in touch ! Quote
steantval Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) Blimey, not the sort of thing you can slip under your coat and leg it. Hope they find the culprit and get the bass returned to the owner. Edited October 18, 2017 by steantval Quote
lowdown Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 I live over at Canvey - Shared on some local Facebook groups. Good luck and I hope it turns up.. Quote
itsmedunc Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 Lets try and keep situations like this to the "Top" of the page lads. The more bumps the better. The poor guy must be gutted. Disgraceful behaviour from an idiot minority Quote
Grangur Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 Probably not taken by a muso, more likely someone with an eye on the ££££ Quote
Paul S Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 How on earth did the bass get left unattended there? Quote
Hellzero Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 I've been through this, horrible situation. And yes as itsmedunc wrote let's bump. Quote
lowdown Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 Result. The Bass has now been returned to it’s owner. Quote

lowdown Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) [quote name='visog' timestamp='1508443360' post='3392312'] Good news... do we get the back-story? [/quote] Not really sure, other than that someone had seen a share on Facebook locally and knew where the Bass was. The power of social media really did play it’s part. Something like over 400 Facebook shares. https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/bassbackintherightplace?hc_location=ufi Edited October 20, 2017 by lowdown Quote
Dad3353 Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 Perhaps it was [i]thought [/i]stolen, but had, in fact, simply slid down the back of the sofa..? ... Quote
Beedster Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 To be honest, there's probably a few relatively non-criminal types who'd half-inch a double bass for the pure comedy value alone. I won't point fingers or name names but many such wags are to be found in our higher education system Quote
