sbrag Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Ive got a baby due any day and one of the names on our shortlist is tobias. If this is the name we go for, does that mean that i have to buy a bass of the same name. If that is the case how can i convince my wife that Wal would be a good middle name?

fumps Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) No you call Tobias & ask if you can get a free bass for the lifetime free advertising you are about to give them ! Edited March 8, 2013 by fumps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skol303 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Hehe, I like your thinking! Tobias is a cool name too. Skol Jnr is called Max... so that's his volume setting sorted out already Wishing you all the best with the new arrival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advice for sbrag: keep the baby change area well away from your bass storage area!

Dad3353 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Our eldest knew I had a leaning towards fretless, and when I got home from work on my 60th birthday, there in my armchair was a 6-string fretless, with my name on the headstock..! Pleased as punch; it's a good bass, too. My Dad's name was Walter (Wal, for short...) though. Did I miss out on something..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Dave Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Not all it's cracked up to be - limited in it's usefulness - overated - too expensive - lightweight really - looks a bit odd close up - much better tools available Yep - naming folk after basses certainly seems apt for Warwick Davis.

wateroftyne Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Little miss WoT is called Constance, and little mister WoT is called Jet. Both bass-related, but don't tell the Missus. :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donnyboy Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I think Tobias is a classy name - maybe character building even. What's the surname , if I could be so forward? Tobias probably does need a middle name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbrag Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 All that's been considered because my cousin grew up with the initials a r s! Surname is bragg so no suggestion of billy please! Thing is I've never played a tobias or an mtd it just seemed like a good excuse for a new bass(it'll be his to grow into)! Are the cheaper tobias' or mtd kingstons any good?
