stoker Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Can anyone help? A friend of mine has lost her bass and would quite like to get it back. It's an Ovation Magnum 4 in a Bill Bird case. Was last seen at the Feathers in Basingstoke where it had been loaned to a band. As you can understand she would quite like it back. Many thanks.

synthaside Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) Those are proper pretty I was never a big fan of the original magnum or 2 but the 3 and 4 are right up my alley ... was the the brown or greyburst one ? how long ago are we talking ? , I saw a Brown finish in wunjo's few months back ... but these arent common basses so i wish her luck.

Dan Dare Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Sorry to hear that. I hope the person she lent it to is stepping up and either trying to recover it or offering to replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you saying it was stolen while on loan to that person? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3below Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 There are not going to be many of these about which will help with 'finding' it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoker Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 More info on the Bass. It went missing about 10 years ago, dark sunburst, non standard knobs and a repaired headstock crack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colgraff Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Ten YEARS ago???? Blimey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I think someone coming forward 10 years later is a bit unlikely. Also if it has a new owner (that probably paid for it) they're also unlikely to volunteer it's reunification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number6 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Why has it taken so long for a search to be arranged for this bass? Did the band it was lent to pinch it? Was it stolen from the gig? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delberthot Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I lost my wallet in the middle of Falkirk sometime in 1994. If anyone has any information regarding the whereabouts then please send it to: Old Pink, Care of the Funny Farm, Chalfont Oh yes, it was a brown one if that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoker Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 I would just like to say that we've not been friends that long on recently found out about this bass myself. I knew it was gonna be a long shot but you've gotta help out fellow 4-stringers where you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimR Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 It's been 10days now. Has it been found? The usual rescoursfullness of Basschat seems to be letting us down. Come on, we found that guy in the waistcoat. How hard can a missing bass be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzneck Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) This is no help at all but I did find the first electric guitar I bought in 1963. Sold it in Germany in 1965 and found it again on eBay in 2013. It can be done - tell her not to give up hope.

JTUK Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 10 years and it is either firewood or someone elses that they've bought in good faith, most likely. The person should be looking to buy it back -IF they can find it- and the person who lost it should have paid out and sorted this ages ago.
