    That's what I do when my hooker doesn't turn up. 😡

    Hey! I want my yatch first!!

    CHALLENGE!!! Let's see what utter ridiculum exists out there! Post a picture of the most ridiculous bass you can find! It can be 1 string, 50 string, anything that loosely classes as a bass is fine! If the mods are ok with it, my intention is to let this run for a month or so then run a poll, winner gets some kind of terrible prize! (It won't be worth much!) 😂 All just for funzies of course! May I start with this utterly insane creation... (I will not be eligible for the terrible prize!)

    He could do a series of 'how to steal candy from babies' tutorials too.

    @Brook_fan To echo what many people have said, a kick starter campaign, which is more or less what you're talking about is a far faaaaaaaaar stretch from the "please can everyone buy me this nice bass pretty pweeeeeeeaase" tactic from the OP. Yours has merit and purpose. However Mr @cgull is asking for 750 people to give him £2 each which is absolutely glorified begging. If the guy has a job, a form of shelter, a car, a phone, means of the internet etc. then he's already pretty damn lucky. He needs to buy his own luxury toys. Unless anyone wants to buy me a yacht? In which case I take it all back as I'd quite like a yatch. But if you do buy it for me, you need to also pay for all the staff and the mooring fees. I don't want to pay for any of it, I just want it.

    You can have one of mine, but I'll need all of your organs.

    A fleet of Foderas and half a dozen MTDs clearly. Paid for by staving orphans.

    A. As an enthusiastic Legoman, no one calls it 'a lego' unless you're talking about a single piece. B. The £60 odd you spent on that set is 4% of the cost of the bass you want, not exactly halfway there with £60 pal! C. Save up mate and buy it. Literally that's it.

    Damn straight.

    Getting other people to pitch in to buy you an expensive bass is still fairly low in my opinion. I sincerely hope people choose to spend their money on a more worthwhile cause and you do the reasonable thing and save up like a grown up and buy your own bass. That is just one mans opinion of course.

    @miles'tone Such a shame that work such as yours pay so very little. I used to work in care (young adults with learning disabilities and extreme challenging behaviour) and the pay was awful. The companies RAKED it in but didn't pay anywhere near enough to retain decent staff. Before I left that job I was a manager of a day centre for said services users and was paid £17k per year for my troubles. I now work within the Motor Industry and earn a damn sight more but feel I'm not contributing to society in any measurable volume and have next to no job satisfaction. Keep going man, I salute you!

    @cgull I have to say I'm really not a fan of your money making techniques... Asking random strangers to donate to you so you can buy a new bass seems like poor form to me. Particularly when your funding page says 'He (meaning you) would be happy to donate £2 to your cause' which clearly isn't the case as if you dontated £2 for every £2 donated to you, you'd be permanently at square one. Not to be ferociously blunt, but do what we all do and either sell something or work hard, earn money and buy your bass, don't ask others to fund it for you.

    Hi, So I've just picked up a bunch of various geeeetars and basses etc. in a strange trade/purchase and want them gone! They are as follows, and are all going pretty cheap as I want the space back! None are hidden treasures, but they all do the job. I've not bothered setting any of them up, but I have tested them and they all work! A few could obviously do with a dust off and set up. From left to right they are: 1 - Stagg C542 Classical Acoustic £15 2 - **SOLD** Wesley 5 String Purple Acrylic Bass 3 - Keiper 'Super Strat' with Floyd Rose type bridge £40 4 - Keiper 'Ovation Style' Electro-Acoustic £35 5 - Keiper Jazz Bass (good solid wood body) £50 6 - **SOLD** Wesley Purple Acrylic 'Les Paul' Type 7 - Harrier P-Bass (feels like solid Ash or Basswood) £40 8 - Unbranded Jaguar Type Electric £30 I have 4 gig bags, happy to chuck either of the two unpadded ones in with the sale of a guitar for £2, or the padded ones for £5. The little amp can go with any guitar for £8. Happy to do a bulk deal on multiple purchases! Based in Essex, any questions, let me know! Russ.

    All depends on how quickly a seller wants to sell! I myself have sold a few basses for quite a bit under 'market value' because I wanted them gone ASAP to facilitate another purchase. If you're happy to wait a while, then someone will eventually come along and pay the asking price!
  20. binky_bass
    That being said the last TRBJP2 that sold on here went for £1400 so price can be very subjective as to how quickly a seller wants to sell and how soft the market is.

    Thanks @HumblePie I did find that website, but it seems to be under maintenance and has no price guide etc.
  22. binky_bass
    Is there a website for this luthier? I'm curious to know more about the bass. Also, what do you think the 'new' price on this bass is?

    @Hamilton Mackenzie I'm a big fan of the Ashdown B-Social for a number of reasons. A. Looks good in the house. B. Sound is crisp and articulate and very much loud enough. C. Comes with a rechargable wireless dongle so you can play wirelessly. D. Has Bluetooth so you can play songs from your phone while playing bass at the same time. E. Has separate bass and guitar inputs so you can (if you needed to!) Play 3 instruments through it at the same time while streaming songs via bluetooth. For me it's the perfect all-rounder for the home.
