GuyR Posted July 17 Posted July 17 I can imagine circumstances where Iād spend that on a bass. But not that bass. Ā Forgiveness sometimes, permission never. Ā 1 Quote
Tdw Posted July 17 Posted July 17 If, like me you're a big Primus fan, that's got to be tempting. But unless you're pretty darn rich I can't recommend it in good concience. Quote

LowB_FTW Posted July 18 Posted July 18 (edited) Bloody hell. Twenty grand for a bass. Can you imagine the amount of lego I'd need to buy The Wife if I was to get that? Sheesh. Thankfully I don't like it, so I'm safe. Ā Mark Edited July 18 by LowB_FTW Typos 2 Quote
SurroundedByManatees Posted July 18 Posted July 18 These listings of premium priced basses are totally made up by some clever bass players, to show their wives/husbands that their 6k basses are quite cheap actually. 1 Quote
Terry M. Posted July 18 Posted July 18 Would be interesting to see what this bass actually sells for. It's had 2 offers already. Quote
chris_b Posted July 18 Posted July 18 My top 10 list of things to spend Ā£20k on wouldn't include any basses. Ā Carl Thompson and his basses are always interesting to read about but I have no inclination to own one. Quote

There are limitsĀ Ā yeah Ā£7,000,000 for the original Birkin bagĀ Ā If you can afford Ā£20k for a bass, why would you deny your wife the same for something that makes her happy? Ā Ā Ā Sorry, this was supposed to be funny, getting a bit philosophical now. 1 Quote
