bubinga5 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) just a bit of fun, but there are many amazing Bass guitar shops in the world... but if you had 20 G's, (like you do) where would you go to spend your scratch For me it would be the Bass Central in Florida... my god they have a selection of electric basses!! endless MusicMans..the SR5 page goes on and on.. Never mind the Ken Smiths..!! Oh and the Fender stock...Oh and the Zons!!..the list goes on..

BigRedX Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 There is no bass shop in existence with an esoteric and diverse enough range to satisfy me. I'd rather spend my £20k directly with the luthiers of my choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisnameistaken Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I wouldn't dare spend 20 grand on a bass. Unless I was much more talented than I am, and it was a double bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMech Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 the Contrabass shop. Would buy me one super nice double bass, and they've got a crazy amount to choose from. Although think i'd save a bit for an amp to go with, for which I'd probably pop to the bass gallery.

I'd have one of these made (if £20k was enough) & if there's any spare, I'd get another cab.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tait Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 For me it'd be maybe 2 basses from Jon Shuker, I'd buy myself a decent amp (no idea what, I literally know nothing about amps, but I wouldn't spend more than £1500 on it), so that'd come to maybe £4500? I wouldn't spend the rest on bass gear. I reckon I'd spend £2000 on sword fencing stuff, and other than that I don't know what I'd spend it on! Beer and skittles probably.

stingrayPete1977 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) Like many others here I have already made a good dent in a real £20k You only live once though so if I had another £20K I would be after a new ClassicRay 5 and an as early as possible 76' pre EB Ray to start with. Another Genz-Benz 2x12 neoxT cab and a suitable 2 ohm handling head to run both as a 2ohm 1200 watt 4x12 twin horn mother fecka! A pre CBS P and a nice early 70's Jazz.....I think I'm spent up?
