Really? Literally never had a Tortex snap and I play pretty hard.

Gibson - Who's To Blame? Followed by green ticks for all the people you aren't blaming! Most misleading chart ever! 😂

Just use a house brick instead.

I'm a 1.0 Jim Dunlop Tortex man myself. Just had GuitarGuitar send me a 72 pack. Probably do me for the rest of my life!

To be fair, that link is for a 12 pack with a little tin. £7 isn't too unreasonable. They're not £7 each!!

Tis a Line 6 Helix sir.

https://tenor.com/oZGU.gif I'm too incompetent to work out how to make this show as a GIF!

And they say plastic surgery is never an improvement!

That's what I do when my hooker doesn't turn up. 😡

Hey! I want my yatch first!!

CHALLENGE!!! Let's see what utter ridiculum exists out there! Post a picture of the most ridiculous bass you can find! It can be 1 string, 50 string, anything that loosely classes as a bass is fine! If the mods are ok with it, my intention is to let this run for a month or so then run a poll, winner gets some kind of terrible prize! (It won't be worth much!) 😂 All just for funzies of course! May I start with this utterly insane creation... (I will not be eligible for the terrible prize!)

He could do a series of 'how to steal candy from babies' tutorials too.

@Brook_fan To echo what many people have said, a kick starter campaign, which is more or less what you're talking about is a far faaaaaaaaar stretch from the "please can everyone buy me this nice bass pretty pweeeeeeeaase" tactic from the OP. Yours has merit and purpose. However Mr @cgull is asking for 750 people to give him £2 each which is absolutely glorified begging. If the guy has a job, a form of shelter, a car, a phone, means of the internet etc. then he's already pretty damn lucky. He needs to buy his own luxury toys. Unless anyone wants to buy me a yacht? In which case I take it all back as I'd quite like a yatch. But if you do buy it for me, you need to also pay for all the staff and the mooring fees. I don't want to pay for any of it, I just want it.

You can have one of mine, but I'll need all of your organs.

A fleet of Foderas and half a dozen MTDs clearly. Paid for by staving orphans.

A. As an enthusiastic Legoman, no one calls it 'a lego' unless you're talking about a single piece. B. The £60 odd you spent on that set is 4% of the cost of the bass you want, not exactly halfway there with £60 pal! C. Save up mate and buy it. Literally that's it.

Damn straight.

Getting other people to pitch in to buy you an expensive bass is still fairly low in my opinion. I sincerely hope people choose to spend their money on a more worthwhile cause and you do the reasonable thing and save up like a grown up and buy your own bass. That is just one mans opinion of course.

@miles'tone Such a shame that work such as yours pay so very little. I used to work in care (young adults with learning disabilities and extreme challenging behaviour) and the pay was awful. The companies RAKED it in but didn't pay anywhere near enough to retain decent staff. Before I left that job I was a manager of a day centre for said services users and was paid £17k per year for my troubles. I now work within the Motor Industry and earn a damn sight more but feel I'm not contributing to society in any measurable volume and have next to no job satisfaction. Keep going man, I salute you!
