    What happens to your gear when you're gone?

    What happens to your gear when you're gone?

    I was at the music shop a while back and they were discussing an older customer they had known for years that had a very high quality banjo. It was a special edition and had massive amounts of custom mother of pearl and was always played, but extremely well looked after. The deal was that the...

    ah the memories.... Anyone for goon of fortune? The fun never ends with a goon sack and a Hills hoist.

    Storing your Bass.

    I've got more basses than I need, (but not as many as I want) and not nearly enough time to do them all justice. Each bass has a case with desicant. Is this the best way to store an instrument? Should they be hung on the wall instead?

    Just bought my old bass back, but....

    I (drunkenly) bought a RBX 170 on ebay for A$130 after a few cans on a friday afternoon. It still had the hang tags, a spare set of strings a stand and gig bag. The moral of this story? Don't drink and bid. Don't assume you will not be outbid if you are the first bidder. Don't bid on...

    What Is The oddest gig you've ever played?

    We played a gig at a juvenile detention centre as one of my first gigs with a group of older guys. I am happy to admit that i was indeed scared for my own safety. We played standard cover classics including "jailhouse rock". The punters loved it, even if they didn't have much of a choice in...

    Cool Story, Giving Away, Getting a Bass

    Gobal cooling?? Never heard that before..... Simple science. Warmer air melts ice. Clacial retreat should be a large enough flag to show that things are not going well. Praying seems to be just as useful as chewing gum in fixing the problem. ...This is not a test of faith....

    Cool Story, Giving Away, Getting a Bass

    None of what you just said has one ounce of science based proof of the existence of a supernatural being. If anything it reinforces evolution/natural selection and pure luck.

    Cool Story, Giving Away, Getting a Bass

    Yeah nice basses, not my style, but nice none the less. Back to the original post though, I re-read it again and can't help feeling that the OP has actually just been scammed out of a very expensive bass. The buyer noted that you were religious and worked the angle. Why didn't the church...
