If Santa played the bass he would play a . . . .

[Black Coffee]

What bass would match Santa . ?

A coffee table sized 9 string monstrosity to cover the belly ?

[gruffers]

Red P. White Scratch. Maple board. Easy.

[TRBboy]

Metallic red Sandberg Basic 5 with white pearloid pickguard, white pup cover, maple board and black hardware. Ho ho ho!

[Happy Jack]

I had him down as a DB player meself ...

[rushbo]

...I thought Danny Thompson was Father Christmas....

[fender73]

Surely he's a Fender P Bass player. He'd like to play other makes too but he endorses Fender, and there is a Claus in his contract.....





ahem.

About the man that man is fat and round
Delivers gifts without a sound[/font][/i]

Tut tut. None of you lot would make it through your first Christmas contract as Santa <rolls eyes>.
Obviously it would have to be a Steinberger XL2 in order to fit down the chimney.

* Although I'd be tempted to mention the recently announced Ernie Ball Music Man 'Sledge' series basses.

Ernie ball sledge, very good!

I don't think he is a bass player surely he is into wrapping?

[Black Coffee]

This thread is getting as cheesy as last years Stilton.

Between Sledge basses and no sanity clauses, whats next ?

Good King Wenceslas sat down,
To play some bass this evenin;
Laid the notes out all around
Deep and crisp and even.

Wouldn't it be a Lapland - I mean Lakland?

[Cat Burrito]

It'd be a Ho Ho Hohner Jack Bass

[Graham]

I reckon he'd play a Stingray, don't know why, but once I had the image in my head, I couldn't shake it.

[pete.young]

I think he's more likely to be a banjo player. Only gets one gig a year!

[Lfalex v1.1]

A supercalifragilisticexpialidocious bass. They don't exist, either. (Don't tell the kids...)

Exactly. And the red colour has to be the same as used by Coca-Cola, since "Santa Claus" as we know him in modern commercial Christmas and holiday adverts is based on the original 1931 Coca-cola marketing campaign:

Definately- don't think anything else would be appropriate. would tinsel hanging from the headstock, or a stuck on big red nose be too much?

[Zenitram]

The Santa/Coca-Cola thing isn't true. He'd been red and fat and jolly before 1931.

[mbellishment]

A Warwick Ru-Dolphin hohoho

[Mornats]

It would have to be a bass with a lot of presence...










I'll get me coat.
