I really think you just need to post 1 thread with pics of all your gear at the lowest price you will take, as soon as one sells and that 1 is enough to cover rent and your friend so 800$ if i am doing the math right class the thread. I am sure you could sell at least 1 in time but your going to have to have some cheap prices, if i was in any position i would hit you up about a few of those basses but i like yourself am to broke and have to much gear.
I will give you $800 for the '67 P, posted to Australia..
Then play it for a bit and flip it for upwards of 5 grand here..

Seems to me that TB will solve all your problems here...or at least most of them.
Plus you will have less basses lying about unplayed and maybe not un-loved, but maybe loved more or something.

If I am walking around any city with $400 it's in a vial and protected by my sphincter.
Sell some gear. You don't have many options. Or a payday loan place which is basically a legal loan shark.

Hey man good luck on the money crunch. Its a shame that things like this happen, but sometimes they are unavoidable. Good luck with everything and hopefully it will all work out.

And to those of you crucifying him over borrowing money. He was inbetween jobs and was merely waiting for his first check. Yeah he could've been a little more careful, and probably should've been more prepared, but one mistake is hardly enough to judge him by or where his priorities are.

Thanks man.
So far I've raised almost $250 (should be getting another $60 on Sunday and some of my other stuff might be sold)
I was once in an unfortunate situation of needing money I did not have and someone at TB helped me out.

Yeah I ended up selling a bunch of my stuff pretty quickly. My life hasn't gotten any worth without less equipment. I think I'm going to be selling off a lot of my stuff soon even though I rent some of it out.
I have something I wanna send you in the mail too. You play 4 stringers right?

Good to hear man, good to hear.
I don't play the bass anymore. I used to. I still have some cabs in my den, but no amps or basses.

Except they don't break you legs and steal your stuff if you don't pay, and you can flip the loan for the cost of borrowing, and you can pay it down as you go. It's a credit card without the card, not a loan shark.
I lost interest. I hung on to the gear as long as I could hoping I would want to play again, but it never happened. I kept a couple cabs because of the effort it took me to find them.
I still hang around here because of all the cool people I met when I was pretending to be a bass player.
