I’ve said it before - but this place is just Ace.

😘

So. This amazing fundraiser has been closed.

I’ve messaged Lee with the details.

I want to thank each and every one of you who’ve donated and supported.

How wonderful that it’s 2 years to the day since I last saw him gigging - he’s a truly phenomenal player.

If you get a chance to see any of his bands play - you’ll not be disappointed.

@lee650

Love you mate x

I quite like this Noah Kahan fella…

Guild Startire 2 bass…lovely.

Sound guy forgot about the vocoder section on Get Lucky…came in twice as loud as the rest of the band 🤦🏻‍♂️

Party time with Nile Rodgers & Chic. Bass a bit low in the mix. I'll be seeing them on Thursday evening at Powerham Castle when they support Duran Duran. 2 mega bass players to enjoy there! 

Jerry Barnes will make himself heard…good lord that man can play, saw them at Castlefield Bowl a few years ago.

Hello lovely folk.

im going to close this in 2 days. 
 

if anyone wants to add to this amazing total for Lee.

i think he’s got a flat sorted and we can cover his deposit - that would alleviate a huge amount of stress x

How did I miss this?  That's a killer bass, Andy.  I love it - but is it any good for metal?

Probably. It’s an angry swine.

Big shows…yup. 
 

although I did play a pub in Chorley with it…

depends on my mood…but it’s there to be played. I have “lesser” basses I worry about more.

It’s still here @Geek99

Did it! Wooo.

Just thought about Top Gun incidental music…

Yamaha BB414, Yamaha AES800b guitar.

hangover, tea and Battenberg.

and no…I can’t get the link working; why break the habit of a lifetime

Yep I have an Inverness Green one or whatever it’s called. Happy to do you a vid 

Stingebag…

😂

I will say - I adored a blue one I picked up for Walshy in March.

It was a beautiful bass.

we sold it at the bass show before I got chance to buy it.

I’m sure @walshy has one - if he sends it me…I’ll do you some videos.

see that Walshy? You have my address 🤣

Hopefully Lee and I will be meeting soon, we’ll do our famed hammed up Version of school days or something…

I’ll close the JG on the first of July.

So if anyone’s hanging on for payday or something, there’s still a bit of time.

A £53 off target type bump.

Wowza.

Mine are just absolute staple basses now.

3 or 4 tracks on the album and they’re going out live from July Onwards.

very, very happy with them.

Im overwhelmed and lost for words! You wonderful people have been a light in some of the darkest days of my life.

 

The money is a huge help and allieviates some worry, all the lovely comments and advice have shown me i have people in my life that care. 

 

Ill withdraw my MIJ 75RI and ill take it to a gig on sunday, and lay down some funk in your honour 😊

 

@AndyTravis has been a rock and im very glad you're all my people. 

 

My sincere and humble thanks to you all.

 

 

Stop being soft.

You know I don’t like it when you’re soft.

I think these words can help us all as we navigate relationships. Basschat is as much a social outlet for me as the pub was (I’ve sort of given up the social drinking now as I didn’t enjoy it). 
 

Best of luck getting back on your feet Lee.

 

One of my best friends is going though this and a few of us are helping him any way we can.

 

I’m a bit strapped for cash but if i can help with equipment let me know. I’ve got all manner of leads, tuners, few pedals and things I’d be happy to help you out with.

 

 

tell you what @Burns-bass - I’ll Chuck a tenner in for you x

just in case anyone missed the link x

Now at an amazing £902

well done and many thanks to all x

I think it’s possibly a Squier standard series body in charcoal frost metallic.

The neck isn’t original fender I don’t think, maybe a mightymite with a decal.

if it’s any less than £200 probably a very serviceable bass.

Wish I’d known Irn Bru was for sale 😐
