only just seen this, added something to the pot, there's something special about the community on here, I sometimes wonder if we shouldn't form some sort of political party, i'm fairly sure we could sort the country out in a weekend. (although we could agree on how to run the country but not on which was the best bass or the rounds vs flats debate)

I’m just coming out of work - this has changed my perception of so many things - it’s amazed me.

Hi all, update: I just checked the T&Cs (see screenshots below) and you have to wait 14 days from first donation to withdraw funds (as well as be ID checked and verified, which I have done). That means waiting at least another 11 days. I understand they need to do safety checks (to prevent money laundering) but it's still a nuisance. I have discussed with Andy and he is fine  to let it run for the full 14 days.

We do what we have to do for our kids. I know how far I'd go for mine, so if we can help someone else's then its done.

 

It's exactly this, but more as well. I think this touches a lot of buttons for a lot of us: doing whatever we have to for our kids; the awfulness of being powerless against bureaucracy and the number of years and the heartbreak; the fact that Andy is a lovely bloke (and then the video, and then that lovely family picture); the dread of having to part with 'that' bass; the value of having a safe space of like-minded decency in what often seems like a total cesspit of the internet and the chance to help out someone in need within that space. I'm pretty new here but I've had nothing but good vibes, honesty and decency in transactions and a real supportive environment. It's a fantastic place so it's wonderful, but not surprising, watching this unfold. Iris is lucky to have such a dedicated and loving family and now she seems to have got a lovely extended BC family (whether she wants it or not 😁).

Fab post, @Grooverjr!👏
And may I add, Andy’s bass-related stories over the years have had endless entertainment value. I know not everyone can or wants to be a big contributor, but there are certain characters you look out for. @AndyTravis has helped make BC what it is, as indeed has @Clarky, so I see this as an affirmation that all the hours spent on BC over the past 17 years haven’t been wasted!👍

I cannot add a Reaction.

 

I’ve just said to @Clarky this is the maddest thing that’s ever happened to me.

 

I cannot express it to you all.

 

I’m hopeful that in any way I can return the favour or some gesture in the future x

Well done everyone! I think we’ve all benefited from this effort, as it’s certainly shown human nature in its best light (bass players rule and all that) and reignited one’s faith in that nature. We can now look forward to a wet room build thread and more pics/vids featuring the Ripper in the future.
