Good luck. Let's hope you get your money back or a replacement set at least. 👍😎

I once bought three packs of strings -Dunlop Superbright - and on every packet, the G snapped whilst being fitted. Sent them back to BD and there was, indeed, a manufacturing 'fault', so your set could fall into this category?

Dug these out for the thread.

Damn! That what comes of bowing to my liberal tendencies. I'm going to be Geek's second now. See you in the park at dawn, and we have chosen flatwounds at 700 paces.

Morning to yoos all. This is a murky one indeedy. I had a bass made by CBS Arbiter once - awful thing it was. If someone had a bass with no strings, but bought a set in order to be 'heard', I'd assume that would be allowed? Someone without an amplifier, buying one in order to be 'heard', seems reasonable to me, as long as there is not a earlier amplifier lying under the bed or suchlike, having been discarded due to said 'new amp arrival'. Having said that, it does seem odd to enter this thread, knowing that your collection of equipment was incomplete and therefor, not fit for purpose? Were the decision mine, I'd let Geek99 remain. If it comes down to a duel, baggsie I'll be Neep's second and grab all his gear once he's potted. 😁

Sweet Dreams - Roy Buchanan

Aguilar Tone Hammer 700 Aguilar 751 Marshall Super Bass 100 Owned and gigged them all. Each one was wonderful in my view

You lucky bulgar you.

Not that I know of, but I maybe missed it. 🤷🏻

Disco Strangler - The Eagles

I wonder what the total bass-count is for all of BC? 🤔

Ah yes. "'Er indoors."

Isn't that a song about gardening, covered by Monty Don, from his album, 'Live at Chelsea'?

If you reckon almost 100 instruments equals 4 wives' worth, you must have a hell of an understanding wife! 😵‍💫

How could I have forgotten good old Les? Les Holroyd of Barclay James Harvest

You need to organise a photograph showing them all, then enter it in the photo competition on this site. This month, it's for 'still life'.

Yes, I must confess to being somewhat anal, re the condition of my basses. An instrument, to me, is a precious object, as I still remember when owning one, was far beyond the realms of possibility for me. Although I love The Who, I always felt annoyed when Pete wrecked yet another guitar.
