@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.
