Johngh Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 So, quite recently my Mum died. She was 91 and had been ill for 7 weeks. It's still come as a great shock, and a great loss. She loved music and sang most of her life. So my initial plan was to buy a bass that would be very special in her memory. But I've got carried away and bought three in two days. I'm not going to say that these are all keepers, but for the reason I've bought them it will be hard to let them go.
