Annoying Twit Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) Perhaps more weird than wonderful, I fear.

timmo Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 I wonder why the band he was in, never took off? Quote

rushbo Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 He's had to sell it as he's just been fired from Dale Winton's Cubist Rockabilly Allstars. Quote

stingrayPete1977 Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 That's quite a string after length! Same ergonomics as a ricky Quote
wotsy Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 [quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1413150267' post='2575365'] The weak link in the chain, right enough. [/quote] Aye, if it wasn't for the cheap tuners I'd be all over it. Quote

However, the Upright Bass was a far superior bit of gear Quote
Owen Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 If I was near, I would totally have that just to put in the corner of the room. Quote
Phil Adams Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Well worth the .99p bid it's attracted. Quote
randythoades Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Why do I find this strangely intriguing? I am not far from Sandhurst. I wouldn't mind it just as an ornament in the corner of my music room. I am sure my 5 year old daughter would think it amazing! Quote

randythoades Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Maybe I am just passively absorbing effects of the huge quantities of Peppa Pig in our household. The way young daughters are able to cloud all sensible judgement in preference of "pink", "sparkly" and "unicorns"... Quote
Annoying Twit Posted October 19, 2014 Author Posted October 19, 2014 Sold for 99p! Randythoades, was that you? Quote

I can only recommend a nudge towards Ben and Holly (which is quite funny) and to prepare for the onslaught which is Frozen. Quote
DorsetBlue Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 This reminded me of a post I saw on Facebook recently, something like this (luckily my girls are old enough to see this as funny): [url="http://www.bikersoracle.com/vfr/forum/showthread.php?t=127359"]http://www.bikersoracle.com/vfr/forum/showthread.php?t=127359[/url] Quote
randythoades Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Dang! I missed it in the end! We were out with friends and I chose to keep my phone on silent and missed out on 99p bid. Blast, it looked to be worth at least £1.20... Never mind... Basses like this come up all the time so I will have to wait for the next one.. Maybe I can just build my own. Quote
Annoying Twit Posted October 25, 2014 Author Posted October 25, 2014 Pity I didn't know before I went shopping in the market this morning. I'm sure there were quite a few wooden boxes around which would have helped you out Quote
Count Bassy Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 At 99p a bargain for the strings and the tuners alone (if real double bass strings). Quote

Most of the (serious) ones I've seen seem to be around £100 a set! Actually at 99p it would be well worth it for fire wood! Quote
