    Goodbye and FIRE SALE! Help me liquidate!

    For personal reasons (I may post why in a final 'goodbye' in General Discussion at a later date), I must dump all of my bass gear immediately. Though it may seem like heresy, given my apparent fervor here on the forum, I must move on to another endeavor. For the record, the fervor was real; Ernie Ball/Music Man deserves the reputation it has earned by clearly and consistently delivering high standards in its products, dealer network, customer service and company vision. Big Poppa, thank you for tolerating and teaching me here on the forum and I wish all the best to you, your family, your employees and your company's future. To everyone I've helped, hurt or heckled over the past five months, thank you for taking it all with a grain of salt and allowing me to enjoy myself here.

    I want to give the forum first shot at my basses:

    Bongo 5HH Olive Gold/gold swirl with EBMM straplocks, hardcase, casecandy
    25th BFR 4HH Venetian Redburst flame with EBMM straplocks, hardcase, casecandy


    Here's the deal: Please PM me offers until 11:59PM CST Friday, March 5 on individual items or whatever you feel like doing. The best offer I have by this time gets it, then I will work with the winner on the shipping. All offers and winners will be kept strictly confidential. I can accept PayPal and personal checks that clear first. I have the original shipping boxes for the basses. I just took delivery of the 25th (25B004).

    I pre-ordered a Classic Stingray 5-string black on black with all maple birdseye neck from The Perfect Bass that I have to let go. I paid a deposit on this bass and it was ordered on January 20. If you call Sean at The Perfect Bass (866) 751-3220 or email him sean@theperfectbass.com, he can make you a good deal and give you a time and money headstart on this one... my treat. They can vouch for all of my gear since I bought exclusively from them- I highly recommend The Perfect Bass. Tell Sean either Fielden or DaddyFlip sentcha!

    I would rather not go through the hassle of ebay, while also giving someone on the forum an opportunity to pick up some good gear at a great price. No trades, please; cash offers only and the best offer at the deadline gets it. Don't choke down the forum with questions and offers; please PM questions and offers- I will post pictures and details here as I can.

    Thanks!

    TO ALL:

    The 'best' offer gets my stuff. I'm not holding out for fair pricing, market pricing, to get my money out of it... don't be ashamed to make an offer. Yours just might be the best.

    Man that doesn't sound like good news. Good luck to you. I am broke, otherwise the 25th would tempt me.

    The Mrs. and I always looked forward to your posts/threads and truly enjoyed any "ribbing" that we so rightly deserved and often times encouraged. We will miss you.

    Sorry to see you go Man. You definitely made some great posts, without a lot of filler.

    Wish you the best.

    Guess what Daddy...You are putting us all in a tricky situation...Im sorry that you have had an event that is drastic and severe but this is really a giant for sale thread featuring not only our brands but all others but with drama...Please edit and put your eb stuff in the for sale and please delete the other stuff. I have to be fair and treat everyone under the same rules.

    i hope your situation changes and if there is anything us knuckleheads can do we will.
    Two requests, please

    I told him to go ahead unless you disapproved, so I've edited the original post down to just EBMM basses.

    Daddy Flip, let's leave this once closed and you can post those basses again in the FS thread.

    Thanks, all!
