bobmartin Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 I’m looking for a clip on light unit, so that I use it as a lamp stand. It’ll look quiet nice in the corner of my lounge. Quote
Owencf Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Round christmas i posted this one Fatback followed up with No replies. I wonder if you've breached some kind of DB taboo, there. A sort of lese majeste. Well,. I'm going to say I think it's cute. I might even do it myself. Quote

TheRev Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 I often use mine to soak up spilt cider and to break the fall of p1$$ed punters who trip over the monitors. Quote

fatback Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Social ice-breaker. [i]Everybody [/i]talks to the db player. It's like having a dog but without needing the poop scoop. Quote
Owencf Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 I have noticed that people DO speak to you when you bus it... The classic "thats a big violin" or "i guess your not the drummer" and the most common "nice CELLO" ...try and fit this under your chin... no drums dont have strings and ITS NOT A FN CELLO I have little faith in some humans.

It is the duty of DB players to extend their end pins, drive it through the offender's foot and remind them that they should stick to their day jobs Quote

leroybasslines Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 I've always fancied installing a drinks cabinet in the back of mine. Makes it a functional bit of furniture at home and handy for sneaky mid-gig drinks too. Quote

blinddrew Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Loving the idea of the drinks cabinet inside. Not sure I've used the bass as anything other than a hat stand, but it does occur to me, appropos of nothing, that the hard case would be quite a convenient thing to transport a dead body in. Just sayin'... Quote
