stewblack Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 @silverfoxnik I've used Basschat Special Courier Service like this before - its ace. Wonder if we should investigate for our little deal. In fact there ought to be a thread dedicated to this. Save us all money and stress with Hermes and their none too delicate ways... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Blank Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I’m only too happy to pickup and deliver basses for the price of the petrol, I just like driving! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Also folk could post requests. Like I live in Exeter and have a cab needs to be in Manchester. Maybe a Basschatter in Clyst St Mary might be driving to see his auntie in Bleadon and a Preston based Basschatter was attending a yachting event in Weston Super Mare the same weekend. Or something.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't be too difficult to establish a network based around the locations of specific members willing to participate, especially given that a fair percentage of us gig quite widely. Just say roughly where you are and how far you would be willing to go travel. EDIT: Fixed before the innuendo starts 😂 This is a great idea.

stewblack Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Live driving if there is a bass or gig or beautiful person waiting for me at the other end. Otherwise I can do without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Just now, hiram.k.hackenbacker said: I would like to be able to say I would always be able to fulfil one of those criteria for you should I be collecting/dropping from/to you....but Midsomer Norton is 180 miles from me 😂 Which is where the request section comes in. You might be happy to deliver to someone twenty miles away from you who will be gigging near me or near where I'm gigging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 2 hours ago, hiram.k.hackenbacker said: Yes, maybe a sub-forum where threads like that can live? It could work, but it's relying on people's time and generosity, something which Basschat is very good at. EDIT: Let's ask The Boss (@ped) It works. I've used it and I know others have.

tauzero Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I'm on a bike email list where there's the occasional request to transport something the length and/or breadth of the country (not just bike bits - someone picked up a Hohner B2AV for me so I could go and collect it from him). The other side of that coin is that if one of us is heading off on a longish journey in a car or van with lots of room, we'll often ask if there's anything that needs to go anywhere. It is a bit different from BC though, in that there's probably less than 100 of us on the list and we've known each other for 25+ years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
