Grangur Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 [quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1454071047' post='2966056'] Go on, guys, create some new threads like this for your basses, you never know, you might strike lucky! [/quote] I know where mine went. I stupidly sold it on Evilbay. I stupidly got it posted without asking for a signature and the buyer lied to Evilbay and said it never arrived. I still miss it. It wasn't really amazingly special. I aim to build a replacement soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donnyboy Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 [quote name='ColinH' timestamp='1454003795' post='2965314'] Well... In all honesty I've been a tad dismissive of 'social media' in the past (MyFace/Tw*tbook/whatever), and didn't hold out much hope of anything coming of this. However...after some e-dialogue with Joel McIvor [he of Bass Guitar magazine] and Silvia Bluejay [of Basschat], and re-posting onto General Discussion...I was contacted by a guy in W.Yorkshire, who said he had the bass and was willing to sell. I asked him for some new pictures, and it was The One! Whe-hey! Miracles can happen after all, (and 'ey kid, maybe this forum stuff ain't a waste of (cyber)space.) I've arranged to do the deal on my next return visit to Bradford in a few weeks. Seems the bass had never strayed far from where it was originally half-inched. Assuming things get concluded ok, my sincere thanks to Joel, Silvia, Basschat and all you cool Groovers who've lent a sympathetic ear...[sob]... ColinH [/quote] Brilliant. Remember to keep us posted, pictures of an emotional handover /reunion would be good ☺ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinH Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 Guess I'll feel duty-bound to post a picture of that moment! It's a while away, yet. Feels like going to get a new bass and an old friend back at the same time.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidMcKay Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 We microchip our dogs - should we microchip our bass guitars? I've got an iphone that is only worth #100 but I can locate it via software if it is lost or stolen. Why don't we feel the same about our instruments? if someone offered a cheap and easy way to 'mark' my bass I'd do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 So how did this end? Is the bass back in ColinH's hands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
