[quote name='timmo' timestamp='1380471356' post='2225744'] I guess that is directed at me, although I am not called Timothy. The point is, they are not impossible to find as someone has one for sale, meaning it is not impossible as there is one for sale at this very moment. Maybe very difficult to find, but not impossible. [/quote]

Descriptions do make me laugh. They are saying that white ones are impossible to find, and here they are with one for sale. I gotta admit I would think that £100 is over the top.They look like a plank of wood with strings.

Thanks for that. I like the look and finish. As long as it is sounds ok, I would go £80 as it isn`t that far from me to pick it up. It is only to throw into my locker at work for practicing on

Anyone know anything about them please? There was one for sale here about 3 years ago that I found for £80, but no idea if it sold. It looks nice, but not sure whether to have a bid on it and how much they should fetch.

Ok, thanks for the replies. I shall try the old £51.26 trick if it is still £40 later on

It doesn`t look that great, and unsure of how much it is worth as it has a loose knob. I thought around £50 plus the postage.Any opinions please?

Nice photo`s and blog. I was so embarrassed winning the raffle and I looked liker it too

Unfortuinately, the name escapes me, but someone at the bass bash had a custom made bass, that was more like a single half cut bass. I liked the look of it, and it had a nice weight to it. As luck would have it, the owner is pictured playing the bass in Sylvia`s blog, titled hall 11

Maybe not to everyones taste but [url="http://www.bill-lewington.com/griphangers.htm"]http://www.bill-lewington.com/griphangers.htm[/url]

[quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1380379810' post='2224520'] I hang mine on the wall, not as art particularly, it just seems the most convenient place to keep them - out of the way but easy to access. [attachment=144874:Guitars.jpg] [/quote] But you have got to admit, they look as good as any picture.

Yeah, that is the sort of thing I mean Bolo and Funkgod. They look really good. I am going to scour ebay to see if I can get some cheap stuff that looks good, just so I can hang them up. I will even try to play them occasionally

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1380308460' post='2223710'] I think that any functional instrument not being played is a damn shame. To answer your question simply, no, and any bass you think looks good when you're holding it will look good hanging up. [/quote] I take your point, but I assume there must be people who have a bass that they have superceded and wouldn`t like to part with it for whatever reason. They probably end up in the loft or somewhere, but would look good hanging up, like my old bass nearly did.

I was looking at my bass and thinking how good it looks. Instead of buying art, does anyone buy them to hang on the wall? I was thinking that if I gave up trying to play, I would get a nice hanger. and keep it. Is there a new brand and model bass on the market today that you could buy that you think could appreciate in value, and would look good hanging up?

Thanks for the replies. I will have to buy one. The Nux PG1 looks interesting. Can you give your thoughts on it when you have had a reasonable go on it please

I don`t quite understand how headphone amps work. You plug your bass into the earphone amp, where do you plug the earphone amp to get the sound, or is it just a self contained unit that you can just play anywhere? If so, are they any good?

Unbelievable day. The only regret I had was missing Urb`s workshop as it over ran a bit late and I had to leave to catch a train. I was looking forward to that after watching him play in the jamming room. Maybe next year. Haven`t tried out the amp yet as I caught the wrong connecting train from Reading and ended up in Oxford instead of Gloucester, so a 3 hour journey turned into 5 so a little too late to have a go Anyway thanks to the organisers for making a superb day, I learnt so much today from the workshops

Will there be plenty of chairs? I have managed to damage my knee, and really don`t want to miss it, especially as I have got my train tickets

So is this a bass for a farmer or a builder?

Are the portable A frame stands any good, or are they an accident waiting to happen? I have never used one, but they look like they could get knocked relatively easy and the bass could fall out the stand

I went down Denmark Street about 2 months ago. I never knew where it was, but i knew it was close to Covent Garden. After being bored at 3 different Superdry shops, and every Apple Store we could find for the boy, and several shops for Birkenstock things for my wife, i finally found it. It was 6.55 pm and the shops were all shutting. I was very disappointed. Will have to try again next time i am in London now that i am aware of where it is.

Thanks for the reply. I will have a little spending money just in case

When I was around 8 years old, I couldn`t understand how Reelin` In The Years and All Around My Hat could be sound so different until I realised they were not the same band

A quick question please. I understand It will cost £10 entrance fee. Is there anything else I need money for? Is there refreshments for sale, or is it best to bring myself some sandwiches and drink? I assume Hamster will have tea and biscuits for sale looking at the list.

[quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1378722078' post='2203562'] What's so unreasonable about him? Seems sensible to me. [/quote] Because if you want to sell something for that much money, I would think it would be reasonable to post a photo or 2 and a description. Instead you just get a load of restrictions.
