Shockwave Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) Ok i have been working and typing and phoning on overtime, Arranging all of this so i will keep this short. Tommorow, Steve (BC member) will be picking up the bass from jake in hove at 4PM. Steve will then take it to Ped's (BC admin) at oxford in evening. Then gman (Warwick Board member, Whos only 45 miles down the road in coventry) Will probably pick the bass up from ped and send it on to roeul! I will keep everyone updated. Balls in Jakes court. -Rob. TLDR VERSION OF STORY. (Short version of story.

[/b] More then enough donations have been given to cover the cost of some very speedy shipping and insurance, thankyou very much! Any surplus i imagine will be going to charity [quote]Hi all, Well I'm ecstatic that Reule's bass is now in friendly hands! I'm hoping to arrange with Steve to pick it up asap and get it off to it's rightful owner. So....contributions gladly accepted! Paypal payments to: [email protected] Any amount will be gratefully received - so please donate however much you feel. I'm guessing the shipping will be well over £100, but I'll know better once I have accurate dimensions and weight. Thanks for your support - bassplayers are the BEST! Very Happy Giles[/quote] Donated a tenner myself! All i can spare (Just a poor student ) Edited November 29, 2008 by Shockwave

noelk27 Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Going off topic ... Seven people have posted replies (this makes it eight now), but the counter says zero people have visited the thread. How strange ...
misrule Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 The counter doesn't start working until it hits around ten or so. Cheers Mark

Cheers Mark[/quote] Seriously? And I've only been here since about day 6 or 7, and I've never noticed that. Colour me observant. Except, with nine people posting you'd have thought there'd have been more than 10 views by now? I know, I know - completely off topic.
noelk27 Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 [quote name='budget bassist' post='339152' date='Nov 28 2008, 01:53 AM']I think he meant ten posts[/quote] But that can't be right. The reply count isn't linked to the view count.
silverfoxnik Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Having been really busy yesterday I've only just seen what's happened on this multiple-thread affair with IncX's bass since Wednesday and it's great, great news!! Well done to all and especially Shockwave for his work on this.. I'm sure you guys have got it all covered by now but if not, then I'm quite close to Brighton and am happy to help if I can. Basschat has even more to proud of itself for than usual.
IncX Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 i cannot wait to get my bass. with everything that has happened... it really feels like im getting a custom bass
warwickhunt Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 I'm afraid that being so far North I'm out of the loop at this point ( ) but good luck (and good work) to those further South who can 'hopefully' now bring this to an end. I know that Bob has his side of things covered but as Reule knows I'm available to back that side of things up if need be. Fingers crossed for the next 24/48hrs.
skywalker Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 In case it is needed. I get a pretty good discount from UPS. If someone lets me know the weight/size of the box I will sort out a rate for it.

I'm really moved by the level of response help and support by so many fine people on this forum and amused as ever by the good humour too. Shockwave you're a star. Definitely several beers due to you at the next bass bash "Evil prospers when good men do nothing"? This show what happens when people help each other. Now let's move on to fix the economy NHS, middle east, afghanistan. No sod it lets look at some more gear porn and swap jokes whilst arguing about jazz. Edited November 28, 2008 by lonestar
Bilbo Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) If it needs to go by boat, I am at Felixstowe so can stand on Landguard beach where the docks are and watch the ship sail over the horizon, just to make sure no Somali pirates hijack it for its precious cargo (Evil Ted can ride shotgun). If it helps... Edited November 28, 2008 by bilbo230763

I think you should be forced to hold on to this bass forever+1 day.... no trading it in for a Precision or SX next year
Delberthot Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 This sounds exciting. Like an olympic torch thingy. Let's hope Konnie Huq isn't taking part in this

Hope it all goes smoothly from here.
Bass-ic Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Well done Rob. I know youve put a huge amount of time and effort into this, and yes you may have a headache, but it is nearly over. Brilliant work. I am looking forward to hearing happy noises from IncX, perhaps a short youtube recital no? Matt
