Well done to everyone involved, I have about caught up with the story now (it overtook me very quickly) and welcome to our friends from Warwick.

I think you'll find its more a case that people can express their opinions in the open without flame wars happening. Or getting banned. Or moderated. It's certainly not a "them" and "us" thing, though, because a great many members on there are members here too, myself included. So it would be more accurate to say: "a lot of members of finnbass and basschat think there are a lot of dicks on basschat" Of course, that's like any big forum though. The vast majority of users are diamonds, but there are always a couple, and generally some people like 'em, and some people hate 'em.

Gman Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Thanks to everyone on BC that contributed to the shipping costs. We have £303 in the fund, so should be good to send Reuel's bass by super quick, UPS/Fedex delivery. I'm picking the bass up tonight from Steve - I'll have it on it's way to Reuel within a day or two. I must potter by more often and make myself more acquainted with the good folks here. All the best, Giles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Good to hear Reuel. To be honest,I often had doubts we'd ever see this day mate.I too felt like giving up more than once.It's been a hectic 6 months,but now we can finally say it's all over. I wanted to buy this bass when Marc sold it to Jake & would've had it not been so far away. It feels almost surreal.I'm expecting to wake up any minute now & realise it's just a dream. You can now catch up on all those sleepless nights you're owed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warwickhunt Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 [quote name='dlloyd' post='346446' date='Dec 5 2008, 02:25 PM']Good work indeed. There was talk in the original threads of Jake paying back the money that was donated. Assuming that this is still the case (as would be right and proper), who exactly is being paid back? Presumably the people who donated the funds in the first place? Will he also be repaying the extra £100?[/quote] I'm an advocate of Jake paying what he owes. However, I do confess that though it may be morally correct for him to pay the extra £100 as well, I don't think that he need pay for our generosity. I would be happy for one to have the donation that I made given to a worthy charity were Jake to do 'the right thing'. Time will tell if Jake's heartfelt apology has any substance.

phil_the_bassist Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I personally think that the main aids in the investigation (Shockwave Rob in particular) should get a BassChatial Medal of Honor, which enables the person free tea and biscuits at any basschat associated venues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Funk Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 A second donor vote in favour of donating the surplus £100 to a Philippines-based charity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Congrats reuel! And if you don't post photos when it gets to your end, there'll be hell to pay!! You know what they say, no photos, no bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misrule Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Perhaps if/when Jake repays the money, we should set up a fund to pay the costs of any similar situation in future. The next wrongdoer can then reimburse the fund what he owes. Cheers Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
