Shaggy Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) I've avoided putting my pennyworth in thus far, so as not to make moral judgements - although I was within a whisker of being scammed for a Wal Mk 1 Custom on ebay a couple of years back and well annoyed about it. But having met and traded with Rob twice, I can say that the integrity and compassion for fellow bassists he's shown here comes as no surprise to me. Nice one man! NB; I'm sure there's material for an episode of "Spooks" here - just need to find a Russian angle somehow..........

Shockwave Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) [b]THE SHIPPING FUND. [/b] paypal address is [email protected] Donate as much as you like, Shipping is likely to cost over 100 quid. [quote]Hi all, Well I'm ecstatic that Reule's bass is now in friendly hands! I'm hoping to arrange with Steve to pick it up asap and get it off to it's rightful owner. So....contributions gladly accepted! Paypal payments to: [email protected] Any amount will be gratefully received - so please donate however much you feel. I'm guessing the shipping will be well over £100, but I'll know better once I have accurate dimensions and weight. Thanks for your support - bassplayers are the BEST!

bassoctopus Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Tenner in from me. Did Steve manage to speak to Jake without punching him in the face? Has Jake contributed to shipping? I expect Jake to pay us back for this - the actual money can go to charity as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
