Hi Ben, Could you update us on what remains for sale as opposed to what has gone? It's hard to tell, especially with the Birdsongs, what is still up for offers.

Thanks!

I'm sorry to hear about your medical bills. I know too well about medical issues. I had a kidney transplant back in Oct. of 98 and spent 8 years before that on dialysis. I luckily had private health insurance when I first got sick and after I was declared legally disabled and on dialysis, I got Medicare which then paid for all my medical bills, surgeries and transplant. THE most ludicrous thing about it though is that they only cover you for 3 years post transplant, so if you don't find insurance to pay for the anti rejection meds, which are around $4000.00, you are cut off and you could lose the transplant and have to back on dialysis. I was lucky enough to get insurance. Sorry for the rant, but medical insurance is a must for everyone these days. Good luck.

Rob

I really wish you the best with all the bills and stuff. It's too bad I'm a poor college student, oh the GAS...
Just a thought, you can't sell ALL of your basses, I'd say pick one (this may be impossible) or two, and then bump the prices up about 20 dollars on all the other basses, that should make up for whatever money you don't make by keeping the 2 axes

And definitely an amazing collection. Your home is like a bass museum or something

Hey sorry to hear about ur illness. Im really broke on bass money right now or i would buy one. You have one sick collection. Just a quick question. How many basses did u have in all before u started to sell them for the money to pay the bills. Just curious. Hope your sales go well. Rock on \m/

Warwickbassist1 · #**131** 03-29-2008, 06:20 PM

Hey I have another question. Did u actually purchase all those basses just to cllect and play them or do u own a store that sells them. And I also like the pic of u and victor wooten. Your pretty lucky u got to meet him. Rock on \m/.
