Cheers Mark[/quote] nothing to do with it. The amount of views a thread has is only refreshed every hour or so, so it will read no views until an hour has passed.

Shaggy Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) I've avoided putting my pennyworth in thus far, so as not to make moral judgements - although I was within a whisker of being scammed for a Wal Mk 1 Custom on ebay a couple of years back and well annoyed about it. But having met and traded with Rob twice, I can say that the integrity and compassion for fellow bassists he's shown here comes as no surprise to me. Nice one man! NB; I'm sure there's material for an episode of "Spooks" here - just need to find a Russian angle somehow.......... Edited November 28, 2008 by Shaggy

steve-soar Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Who is paying for the shipping, is it Jake?
Shockwave Posted November 28, 2008 Author Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) [b]THE BASS HAS BEEN PICKED UP![/b] Steve now has the bass. Edited November 28, 2008 by Shockwave
skywalker Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Excellent - Top work chaps. Let me know if you need a rate from UPS, I will happily arrange it. Steve
Shockwave Posted November 28, 2008 Author Posted November 28, 2008 Gman will be collecting funds on the warwick boards, I will crosspost his address when i get it. -Rob.
Bass-ic Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Great news. Well done Rob. Am trusting that the bass is in good nick. Matt
BassMunkee Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Remember that you are never allowed to sell this bass - ever!!
budget bassist Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Awesome news, glad it can finally make it's way to reuel!
tauzero Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 I think there should be a photo of the bass at every stage in its travel, like when that garden gnome was kidnapped and taken on a world cruise.
Shockwave Posted November 28, 2008 Author Posted November 28, 2008 I just wish i could see the bass at somepoint! RL or photo! I wont even get to touch them damn thing! lol.

Shockwave Posted November 28, 2008 Author Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) [b]THE SHIPPING FUND. [/b] paypal address is [email protected] Donate as much as you like, Shipping is likely to cost over 100 quid. [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 28, 2008 by Shockwave
bassoctopus Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Tenner in from me. Did Steve manage to speak to Jake without punching him in the face? Has Jake contributed to shipping? I expect Jake to pay us back for this - the actual money can go to charity as far as I'm concerned.

[/b] Donate as much as you like, Shipping is likely to cost over 100 quid.[/quote] Er. Did I miss something? Why isn't Jake paying for the shipping? If I sell someone a bass can I have a whip-round for whatever associated costs I don't feel like paying?
joe_bass Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Was going to ask this. Is Jake paying you back in time or something Rob?
