I'll trade my sofa for your Wal!

Is it real leather? What's the fire resistance rating? Has it been exposed to pets? What do you suppose the postage would cost, to Germany?

 

[Fender32]

Too many :scowl: .

I have 10 now, but I can't really justify it, as I only play in a "hobby band".

Funny, the more basses I own, the more guilty I feel about the lack of time spend actually learning music theory and developing technique .

It's nearly time for a cull!

Maybe I should sell some of these and then I could actually afford to buy some furniture for my apartment !

I e-mailed this picture to my mum, in England, yesterday. She wrote back and said;

"That's a lovely collection of guitars (aargh ) you've got there, dear. But why didn't you put the broken one furthest away from the camera, so that it wasn't so obvious"?

I really hope that she was joking .

Say Jean, I have a question: is it possible to play an ordinary bassline on those things? It seems to mee that your hands would overstretch, unless they are 6 feet wide
