Double Bass KATRINA BASSES: please help!

[John Sprague]

Congratulations folks, the first one is out the door!

Three more are in process as we speak. Everyone who contributed is a part of this instrument, and I fully expect you to reach back and give yourselves a well-deserved pat on the back.

Peaces,
John

Four out the Door thus far.

 

[Chris Fitzgerald]

Bump.

Hope my check (sent today) won't be too late.

 

[Nick Lloyd]

No! We are always accepting donations... it is taking a while for the word to get out. However, we have #5 and #6 ready to send. Things are looking so much better for these bassists.

 

[Eric Rene Roy]

Another 5 Revolution Solos out the door to you today John, you should have them by tomorrow.

 

[John Sprague]

Pickups received, thanks!

Katrina 5 and Katrina 6 left the dock just a few minutes ago, and may even be on gigs by next weekend. Way to go TB!

We have what we call blems, which are cosmetic flaws that we would like to donate. They are playable , and if we send them to you they can be set up or what you need to do. But this causes double shipping prices.We have 1 gamba shaped bass with an ebony setup which is a prototype with a blonde finish (like the Swingmaster ES-9), and also a couple that we made for rockabilly players that have a white color and striped in black.

Maybe this will will help.

Let me know

Hi Nick,
We also have some celli (cellos) that might help their music programs. We only supply the instruments but have a good supplier for bags & bows at a good price, but not for donations, as far as I know.

As far as shipping costs I would hope we could get donations to help.

 

[Nick Lloyd]

We received an S.O.S from the Gulfport School System. I'll send you a PM Cal. Thank you!

I've already done a Bump on the basses, but would be more than happy to toss in some extra change on miscelleanious stuff...bows, bags etc.
How do I do that Cal?

 

[Nick Lloyd]

FYI- The money in the Katrina Basses fund goes towards basses, bags, bows, strings, and shipping.

 

[Huy Nguyen]

Bump?

 

[Nick Lloyd]

We have sent out 8 instruments to professional bassists, and 1 bass/2 cellos for Gulfport Schools.

However, the bank account is becoming dry. If you haven't kicked in some cash, please do so whenever you can!

 

[Freddels]

OK, just sent.

 

[Brent Norton]

'Tis the season, folks. Give if you can.

Got my Bass Line in the mail today and saw our effort was mentioned nicely. Nick, are there really 10 basses out the door? That is great! And for all of you out there who have not contributed, it's never too early to start building up your 2006 tax deductions!

We are up to 12 basses out the door.
Thanks again to everyone... we could still use some $50 donations.
