Sign in to disble this ad
anyway been playing bass solidly for a while in my church, when all of the sudden a girl asks if she can borrow my old bass (an older ibanez GIO) so I was like uhh I don't have a carry case for it.... but yesterday i went out and purchased an SKB44 hard case for my J&D luthier which freed up a bass case... What shouldIi do? should I promote another bassist in the world or not let my first bass leave my sight..?
Help Appreciated...
Love you all,
Cuphandle

Too many people don't care about other people's stuff and I refuse to be a victim.

If she's cute I'd say sure. Then you have yourself an "in". She'll say "hey, theres that nice guy who let me borrow his bass." and then you can date her & stuff.

Would her parents be privvy to the exchange and be a motivator in its wellbeing? As in she breaks it they replace it?

Everyone knows church girls are easy on old basses.  |

|  | no really, smokemeth&hailsatan | | Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Pueblo, CO | | | A rule of thumb that I go by is don't borrow what you can't afford to replace, and don't lend out what you can't afford to lose.
It may be stingy, but it's probably better in the long run. |

If making her happy is worth potentially losing your bass, then it's all good.
Choice is yours. |

I ask because if it's cheap enough, she should buy one herself. I've had so much equipment stolen or not returned when I was a young, trusting and foolish lad.
