yorks5stringer Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I can't remember the exact figure but I think we raised around £250 in total from the Yorkshire (and beyond) Bass Bash Raffle for the Extreme JB....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a direct comparison, it kind of helps us to know where we are with this auction. So far, we have raised £90 on this one and though I know we're in very difficult economic times, I was hoping we'd at least top £100 with this auction and go some way toward making £150 and beyond.. So, if anyone has said they wanted a ticket but still hasn't got around to sending the money yet (by post or PayPal), please do.. Otherwise, we'll have to get Lenny Henry & Jonathan 'Woss' to come round your houses to talk about 'chawity' and overseas 'pwojects' for a week or two non-stop! By the way, someone has sent a cheque through which hasn't got any indications as to which Basschat member it's from.. Does the name 'Hopkinson' mean anything to anyone? If so, please let me know via PM who you are, thanks! Nik (cue Basschat's equivalent of "I'm Spartacus"...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 cheers Nik when I put it together, it took about 3 months for the neck and body to settle in but once they did, the bass turned into a bit of a tone monster. It needs a refret and its got dead strings on it at the moment too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith[/quote] Hi Keith, Thanks for the support and no, you're not too late. Though the plan was to finish the Raffle yesterday, I'm keeping it open a while longer to see if we can hit or get close to the £150 mark. Also, in an ideal world, I want to ask Bernie Goodfellow or someone similar to draw the Raffle and I'm just trying to work that out exactly. I'll PM you details of how to pay.. Apologies to all other Raffle Ticket holders for the delay on this but unless anyone strenuously objects, I think it's worthwhile running this a bit longer?

[/quote] Hi Matt We're at £110 at the moment, though if Dan is in too (thanks Dan ) then make that £115.. I know it's only £35 difference, but as the Yorkshire Bash did so well with their auction which took a while also, then I feel duty bound to do the best we can with this one. Admittedly, times are tough for everyone at the moment and that's had an impact on the Raffle I think.. But for a £5 ticket, it's a great little bass and would be more than good as a started bass for someone. Dan, it's PayPal or postal and I'll PM you the details in a minute..

mike257 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Does it matter that I'm all the way off in Liverpool, or are us scruffy northerners not allowed in classy places like this?

silverfoxnik Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 Quick update and thanks for all the recent contributions! We're currently up to £135 with this and I am still hopefull of reaching £150 before next week. I've just realised that I haven't yet bought a ticket, so I'm going to do that now which'll take us to £140. So, just looking for a couple more takers now to get us beyond the £150 barrier.. I'm still waiting for one person's payment to clear and that isn't going to be until Oct 16th for some wierd PayPal reason, so all being well, the plan is to draw the Raffle soon after Oct 16th, with Bernie Goodfellow doing the honours for us on that.
