What happened to just doing the right thing purely because it's the right thing? He didn't have to offer a reward - moaning that it isn't enough is distasteful. Yes. A pint and a chat would be more than enough to restore some faith in humanity. That in itself is priceless. Quote
BassApprentice Posted July 16, 2018 Author Posted July 16, 2018 So I contacted the website when I saw the post about having info. Seems its good news! Obviously we aren't all as fortunate to have such wide exposure available to us but great to hear he'll get his bass back! If it was your tip off, great work @2x18! 4 1 Quote

EBS_freak Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 Looks like the seller on the bay is a pawnbrokers. Hopefully they have all the necessaries to trace it back to the individual to dealt with appropriately. Looking forward to hearing the update from Scott. Quote
2x18 Posted July 29, 2018 Posted July 29, 2018 I can confirm -- Scott has now got his Moollon back safely! -- I don't want to say too much at present as I am struggling to get a refund from the Vendor! Will. 1 1 Quote

Will. You bought it? Knowing it was pinched? I can see all sorts of difficulties coming. Please tell me you bought it with a Credit Card? Quote
TheGreek Posted July 29, 2018 Posted July 29, 2018 Glad that Scott has his bass back, hope that you are able to get a full refund. Hope the thief gets his just deserts... Quote

fretmeister Posted July 29, 2018 Posted July 29, 2018 Also - don't flip about. If you haven't got the assistance of a credit card company then Money claim online against where you bought it from: https://www.moneyclaim.gov.uk/web/mcol/welcome Quote

2x18 Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 Right guys -- I bought the Moollon on E-bay thinking I was getting a cheap asian bass like Amoon , Rocktile etc. in a nice Mono gig bag ( I had never come across Moollon before ) -- Planned to keep the Mono gig bag and sell the bass cheaply! Imagine my surprise when the bass arrived and I unpacked it -- Stunning build quality and played and sounded better than most P-Basses I have ever played ( And that is a lot in my 72+ years ) I did some searching on Google and quickly found several reviews ( all Good ) and then I came across one of Scott playing his on youtube and thought that it looked familiar so looked through his other vids and found the one reporting it as stolen! I managed to contact Scott on Facebook and he rang me and I confirmed I had his Bass but wanted to ensure the Police followed up on it so I got the crime report No. from Scott and contacted the Police. I also contacted the Vender ( blueandyellow stores, which turns out to be Cash Generators ) and told them they had sold a valuable stolen Bass, They wanted me to send it back to them so they could sort it -- No Chance! The Police came and collected the Bass and I gave them all the sales information so they could investigate ( which I believe is still ongoing ) The Police officer assured me she would take the Bass straight back to Scott the rightful owner, which she did. I eventually managed to get a refund from the vendor once the police were involved and I did receive many Thanks and a very nice Reward from Scott! -- Thanks Scott. All in all a nightmare experience but hopefully the Police may get the Culprit(s) Will ( Eddie to Family and Friends ) 15 4 Quote

ped Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 Excellent result, well done Eddie. Did you like the gig bag 😂 Perhaps it’s worth me making a sticky about what to do if you have a bass nicked... 4 Quote
fleabag Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 Fabulous ending. You got a mention as well as BC, Eddie 1 Quote
miles'tone Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 Well done Eddie! I had a feeling Scott's bass wouldn't get too far. Hats off to you sir! 👏👏👏 1 Quote

A sticky is a great idea! -- Why not ask Scott if you can post his video as a sticky for anyone that has gear nicked? Regards Eddie 2 Quote

TheGreek Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 Great Karma.... "Reward" you say (feels a bit Yoda-ish) - what does this reward look like? Please share. Quote
