From ZeeBass
"Steve

Let me know how you want the name engraved. We typically do this on the side of the body opposite gear cover. It will be laser engraved, and I will have this done at no additional cost. Just let me know if you want the titanium grey
Or satin black color.

Rob"

I've recieved $680 so far so we are really close. Just keep it coming. As soon as all the money is hear, we'll put up a post and you guys can decide on what it will say.

Thanks again everyone. This has been allot of fun to organize.

Surflawyer's reel comes with TWO spools where the std kit has ONE spool. The reel direct from then is a "savings" of $26.00 and JohnR would get two spools and a low serial number as well !


I agree with Ray. I didn't realize you edited the lead post with an offer from Zeebass.
Maybe we should stick with the original plan, and maybe surflawyer could drop his price a bit and we'll get the reel and the spare spool from him like what was the original thought.

good job everyone

Sluggoslinger 10-03-2006 08:54 AM

I posed this question to John and he would like to get the one direct from the factory.

John is the boss so I am following his wishes since this is for him.

Adrian 10-03-2006 11:04 AM

$20 via Paypal today.

RickBomba 10-03-2006 11:31 AM

Believe Mikey's money when it's in your hand!!!
He owes me about $700 in "joint" presents that we have bought for people.
He did buy me some cool ice fishing stuff last year for Xmas, though...that was pretty generous.
PS-Mikey my birthday is two weeks from today.
$40 sent via Paypal today.
Love You John,
Rick

He`ll like it with a tear in his eye and a drool on the lip :bl:

eastendlu 10-04-2006 09:16 PM

I didn't ask what the point is. :spin:

As for what's not to like, what a hoot if there actually is something not to like. It's got 2 line pickups. What if that sucks?

Thank you John and SB.com!

Sluggoslinger 10-05-2006 12:18 PM

OK, we are just about there. $900 collected! We're sooo close. I emailed Rob and ZeeBaas today to get some details on shippng it and the final price after everything is said and done.

I'd like to get this to John next week so he can use it for the fall run.

I also think its important that we realize that this was Raven's idea to begin with and we all made this happen together. Raven also had an Idea for the inscription. What was it again Raven? Something like Thanks from the members of Striped-Bass.com?

It would be good to have the web address on it incase it ever goes missing, it will turn up.

I have a list of everyone who has contributed that I will make sure to post on here once this is done as well.

Thanks guys,

Steve
