An(other) incredibly generous donation has now taken the total to £6,000 😍

The bass is pictured with DR stainless steel rounds but I can throw on some vgc Dunlop flats for a more old school vibe if preferred

Amazing total so far:

Bought a month or two back to be backup to my Wilcock but I am taking a break from bands and gigging. It's a 2012 model in faded cherry (the non gloss version, which I prefer as the neck is slicker to play). Good condition bar some slight extra fade above the E string where previous owner must have rested their thumb as an anchor and slight bruising on back of neck. Lightweight, as they always are (guessing c.8 pounds). I upgraded with a far superior Babicz bridge (£115) but the original 3 point bridge will come with it. Comes with Gibson hard case. £800 including post (within UK) or £775 collected from a public space in SW13 London.

Thanks @Kevsy71 that takes it to £5,500. Wow 😍

It's up to £5,475 now from 206 generous BCers

With limited interest in my for sale Orange rig and two more gigs under my belt where I just DI'd, I may as well put this up. Not used once (even at home) since I originally placed the ad in August. It's as new, bar sticker being removed. As stated, has branded padded cover too. £700 ovno collected

OK with no real interest (but loads of watchers 🙄) on eBay and none here, I am withdrawing. Will just have to make it work with a padded strap on the occasions when I am not using my Wilcock.

"Not a Ripper" bump 🤣

All good @BassTractor! The 14 day rule is so JustGiving can do checks and ensure it's not money laundering (you can see how it could be used for nefarious purposes). Let's all see where things stand after 14 days 😀

What is so heartening is not just the absolute amount raised for Andy and his family but the fact that 186 (and counting) BassChatters have donated. That's an incredible display of community spirit

@BassTractor has a point. The 14 day rule on JustGiving still has more than a week to run ... so what would Brucey say? Hmmmmm

If Iris wants to draw a bass (which would be massively more attractive) then a Wilcock Mullarkey in classic white (like wot I have) please! Pic to follow

Sent you my cheesy pro pic that I send when touting for work

For context, I am a 61 year old bloke with grey hair and a non-Olympian physique .. kind of the average BassChatter. I would imagine a picture of my sausage dogs would be more appealing!
