Anyone want to borrow a five string?

[quote name='Clarky' post='354805' date='Dec 15 2008, 09:29 AM']I feel like borrowing it purely to put an Arsenal sticker on it

Thought: If a Spurs fan plays a bass with an Arsenal sticker on it will the universe implode?[/quote]


I thought we were friends man

[Linus27]

What a great idea. I don't want to borrow it but if I ever did it would only come back with 4 strings and a missing tuner. 5 String basses are so wrong

OK, being as its Christmas 'n all, no Arsenal sticker

How about a Sol sticker, benwhiteUK or johnnylager?

[Starvolt]

Shotgun it next, after beerdragon.

If you put a Spurs sticker on it will it steal your manager in a vain attempt to get what it thinks the world owes it?

awesome idea wayne, you're a star.

Maybe but I still think mine was more witty

[M4L666]

Me next please? I am looking into 5-stringers recently so this would be good.

No probs

So it's

Beerdragon
Starvolt
M4L666




I think 2 weeks each? long enough to see if it's for you and not too long so you think you have loads of time and never get round to using it.

Anyway up to you guys.

[Starvolt]

2 weeks sounds fine to me.

Is there a limit on sticker size?

I've found a good one, but it's mahusive (3" x 10"), and I don't want to take up too much space.

It can get partially covered if need be.

[Starvolt]

Sorted.

I'll go have a look around town tomorrow, see if I can find anything good.

[waynepunkdude]

It's off to Beerdragon on Thursday.

Start of the journey is 243 Miles (I'm going to keep a track of how many miles it does)

[Gamble]

Awesome, keep up with the map WPD! It's going to be really interesting to see where it goes. It's be cool if people could post pics of themselves with it too, or the bass in different places it gets to. Kudos on a very generous and interesting gesture by the way!

[waynepunkdude]

Right after much hassle with the courier it is now on it's merry way to Wales.

[Dubs]

How many stickers are on it atm?

[waynepunkdude]

None, it is only going to Beerdragon today it's been sitting at DHL in Maidstone since the 19th of December.

Dear Mr Punkdude,

After briefly 'playing' the silverfox's Roscoe the other week, I have decided against the kind offer of a lend of your 5-string.

On the rare chance I could erase 20 years of muscle-memory, I would end up wanting one and in the interests of lager family dynamics, this is utterly out of the question.

I would however like to send you a sticker with which to adorn said bass. After all, you have taken everything else that Pompey once held dear. Except the FA Cup. And Glenn Johnson.

Yours,

Mr Lager

I think you will find we have taken the FA cup 8 times

I'm sure Ben will put a Pompy sticker on it.

[joe_bass]

Class idea Wayne!

Yes, but never from us.

[teej]

This is such a great community-spirited idea, I'm certainly going to keep coming back to check progress. I wish I could join in but I haven't done a bass guitar gig in about 15 years. Much praise to you Mr Punkdude sir for kicking this off with such a generous and, may I say, imaginative gesture.

[josh3184]

this is genius. Pure and unadulterated, and also why I love this forum.

What a totally fantastic getsure and great idea. I would love to join the party and will send a PM as soon as I have finished typing this.

Next question - what sticker?

All we need is someone to do the same with a fretless .....

Yeah! We need one of every strange bass variant! I reckon we need communal:

Fretlesses
Shortscales
in 4,5 and 6 variants.
Who's with me?
