CPBassman Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 Perhaps you should keep it and offer sessions on it. £100 a day in local rehearsal studio or fully insured rental. Id hire it for some studio work. A few issues to look into but if Nick Mason can rent out £2000000 Ferraris it surely must be viable.

A top up on the mortgage is always an option.... just say it's for a kitchen!
AttitudeCastle Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 [quote name='garethox' post='1313652' date='Jul 23 2011, 11:19 AM']I know Andrea (the guy in Italy). He is a collector who has numerous rare instruments - Alembic Spyder etc etc. Good guy who takes care of his gear. Why? Simple really. I always said I was passing through the Buzzard's life and I have for two years. My girls are getting older and the money can be put to very good use elsewhere. I am definately not bored of how she looks or plays, it is quite simply the greatest bass I have ever played and the fact it was The Ox's is a huge thrill every time I pick her up.[/quote] Ah makes sense! Gareth is great guy so anyone looking at this considering it, he is a real gentleman to deal with, and you will be getting a well loved and cared for instrument!

There are few basses that can be considered utterly unique and irreplacable, and you've got one there.
