Amazing to say the least! I wish I would have know when this got started up. Mike, I wish you and your family the best of luck and healing vibes. Hopefully things will get back to normal for you before too long.

I met Mike in person just after he found out about this. He was choked up about it to say the least. Can't say I blame him. This kind of thing is beautiful. I wish I'd heard ahead of time, so that I could help out to. I know he'll make us all proud on that thing, too!

I mighta missed it in this thread, but are they still collecting donations on this thing?

world class, man. i only regret i wasn't around when this went down to throw in a few $$$.

This thing still is going down. See Eggman's post in this thread somewhere. I just got in earlier today, so don't sweat it! Help the cause!

M,

Man, I had NO idea...

It's definetly phenemenol that everyone involved showed their concern/gratitude so much through their contributions.

Cheers to all & hope all works out for you.

This story is on par with the guy who returned the stolen Sadowsky after finding it a studio. Great work guys.

I never saw a thread about this, how were donators 'selected'?

?

 

[purfektstranger]

Wow...... what a story. I am very glad to hear that you are on the mend and back on the bass. I think the people here on Talkbass are first rate, and I feel priviledged to be a member here.

That doesn't explain it. Major Metal's post indicates that someone sent out PMs to people to donate. Is that really the case?

+1.

Mike, you're a great guy/player and you truely do deserve this.

Touching guys, shows how great you people can be...

Mike,

I had no idea you were ill, or forced to sell gear to support your family. While that's a horrible situation to be in, I just want to say I'm glad you're feeling better and that our bass brethren have been able to help you. If I'd have known, I would have helped out in a heartbeat.

More importantly, this bass will bring you all the magic your life deserves.

Go forth and play.

RAM

EDIT: After seeing post 28, I donated right away. Thanks for posting this information.

It was a pleasure to donate to this cause.

Major Metal: PM me if you would like to donate. You can send me a check and I'll make sure a pay pal donation goes through in your name.

Mike, glad you're doing well. You know I'd pitch in, but I lost my job a couple weeks back. Hope to see you soon.

 

[Joelc73]

Hey Mike,

Sorry I'm late to the party on this one... Big Mike did PM me but I got sidetracked...

In any case, I just sent my donation.

This is a great cause and I think it really underscores the fact that being a bassist is all about support and humanity. I wish you a speedy recovery.

Enjoy that bass - it will be a very special one!

[Funkengrooven]

I'm very glad to hear you're doing better, Mike And massive props to all the TBers as well as the luthiers who made this happen- I wish I'd have known- I'd have donated as well (must've been hidden in that 36 page Fodera thread in the Classifieds ).

I wish I had known too.

Do you need an Amp??
I can put one together for you if you do....
Sing out.

Somebody sing out anyway....

[Creeping-Death]

I wish I could participate to this, but I'm already in debt over my head. I hope you get better soon. Enjoy that wonderful bass. It's really nice to see so much generosity from people these days.

 

[BigMikeW]

Thanks for the kind words sent my way. It is not by my glory this was done but by HIS!

Mike F. is very deserving and like I told his wife during a very long and tearful conversation "Mike would have done the same thing if I or someone else needed the help!"

I love this place!
