Discuss.

Obviously an incredibly specialist piece of kit....turning a solid electric bass into a hollow bass twice the size...amazing. Yet it's designed to look just like a piece of sponge washing cloth which I could get in my local pound shop....technology hey...again absolutely amazing....the things they can do nowadays.

*ahem*



I wonder how many he's sold?

[T-Bay]

Perhaps the most surreal eBay listing I have ever seen.

3 available? He must have sponged the local shop. Clever marketing though.

They're selling [s]make up brushes[/s] guitar dusters, and somebody bought one. Weird.

Sure they can make a mint on string cleaning product too aka ethanol

Ha! Just seen that. On one hand I can almost commend their entrepreneurial spirit. On the other hand...

Ah yes....the BBOS to go with the BBOT bridge

Guys, I think you're overlooking the added versatility of this fantastic item... (I'm in no way sponsored or affiliated with this amazing product by the way)... But consider if you need to get some washing up done at a gig and don't have any sponges to hand... viola, two problems solved!

He's quite imaginative. Have you seen his "bass drum stand"?

I'm not quite sure why you'd want to stand your bass drum so that it points at the ceiling (but then, I'm not a drummer), but I'm sure there would be something better than a bamboo coffee table (the sort that are only any good for getting in the way in charity shops) with the glass top missing. He does actually admit that it was just a table in the description.
I've seen bass drums used with hand beaters, as he suggests, but they're usually either upright and hanging from someones' chest, or at about 45*.

The duster looks more like an artists fan brush than a makeup brush. And, to be fair to him, I sometimes use both when dusting my basses (my air compressor is for my airbrushes, so is not quite powerful enough to get the worst out, especially if it's got sweaty, as well).

2 in the last 24 hours, there's similar product on US ebay but made with grey foam.

[yorks5stringer]

His Guitar mutes are made from another specialist sponge, Eraser sponges 4 for £1 at your local £1 Shop!

[Bass_Guardian]

no way

[TheGreek]

I've got some dense foam which arrived in a package and would make some lovely mutes - I was going to let people attending the Herts Bash chop it up and take what they wanted.

Looks like I should be charging people instead...

[yorks5stringer]

I have loads of Mutes to give away but I'm keeping quiet about it....
