Billy Apple Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Yup. I made a bass from a cricket bat that I registered with the ICC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icastle Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 It's not a new design, just an alternative use for an existing item. I doubt you could successfully register this with the patent office even if you were determined enough to pay the initial £60 charge.

Paul S Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Ironic that it is made from a stick used for hurling, as that is what felt like doing when I saw it. Lets hope he doesn't have a shillelagh knocking about anywhere.[color=#545454][font=arial, sans-serif][size=1] [/size][/font][/color] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wotsy Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Damn pity it's patented, I was just about to rush out n make one for myself, suppose I'll just have to buy this one now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyfisher Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Yes, that sentence made me smile I'm torn about this sort of thing. On the one hand it's a fugly looking thing and a waste of a good piece of firewood but on the other hand the guy has at least shown some inventiveness and initiative so good luck to him. I wonder what the reaction would have been if eBay had been around when Leo put together his first electric bass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubsonicSimpleton Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Perfect for those gigs where the landlord/father of the bride is reluctant to pay the band and needs a little percussive attitude adjustment therapy to loosen his wallet.
