stewblack Posted August 4, 2020 Author Posted August 4, 2020 So looks like we will hit the Tamworth hub sometime next week... getting closer folks... 1 Quote
naxos10 Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 If you hit Tamworth I could pick it up, but where would the next drop off point be? Down the M6, M1 or M5, living centrally means I could travel down all three. 1 1 Quote

FinnDave Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 I can offer a pivot point to the west of Oxford - and often in Oxford itself. 1 Quote

mrtcat Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 Its probably not soon enough but I work in oxford regularly and am going to Plymouth on 22nd of August. 1 Quote
whizzzy Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 I travel to Tamworth regularly on Fridays and Sundays. I could bring it back to Alcester and even deliver it to Evesham if that helps. That will get you 35- 40 miles closer to home. 1 Quote
stewblack Posted August 5, 2020 Author Posted August 5, 2020 Thanks for all the offers. I shall get the ordnance survey out and see where everyone is. Quote
stewblack Posted August 5, 2020 Author Posted August 5, 2020 This really is a magnificent Basschat effort! 1 Quote
andyonbass Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) I'm regularly in the Tamworth area, heading back to Swindon if that helps. Would need to meet up in the Services due to large vehicle! Edited August 7, 2020 by andyonbass 1 Quote
Raslee Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 @stewblack I’m in Cheltenham Saturday and leaving back to the Southwest (Plymouth Devon M5, A38) Sunday morning (11 ish) - Let me know if I can be of any help 😊 1 Quote
Reggaebass Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 This is great, how far has the bass traveled so far 1 Quote
stewblack Posted August 7, 2020 Author Posted August 7, 2020 It's only moved on paper right now! Begins the actual journey on Sunday. The couriers will be updating this thread with their progress. 1 1 Quote
Steve Browning Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 What happens in the (unlikely) event of damage? Why not just go and get the thing yourself? Quote

If the bass is in an accident, well that's on me. I can't (for health reasons) drive the distances involved, and this is a fun way to interact with members of the community. Nothing more. Sometimes someone really wants a bass but the seller won't use couriers, or the buyer won't if it's a particularly special or expensive instrument. No one I trust more than a bass player from Basschat to look after a bass. This is a Quixotic, whimsical, enjoyable alternative to playing Russian Rouletter with Hermes. 7 Quote

If you're happy with the risk I hereby volunteer to (at least) collect any sunburst pre-EB Stingray fretless you may happen to buy. 🙂 Quote

stewblack Posted August 9, 2020 Author Posted August 9, 2020 Lovely stuff guys. Reminds me of The Wire when the dockers ship the police van around the world! Quote
Oopsdabassist Posted August 9, 2020 Posted August 9, 2020 So for the slight hijack there Stew.....I'll stop now! Quote
