My Dad built me a bass stand...

[wateroftyne]

WoT Snr is far, far handier on the tools than I am. He's just built me a stand, and it's marvellous. Have a look...

[Piers_Williamson]

Does he do commissions?

It looks 'the elephant's pajamas'!

[gary mac]

What a great job 

I miss my Dad, that is just the sort of thing he would have made for me. 

[Frank Blank]

That’s so cool, my dad was a tnuc.

[howdenspur]

That is a work of art. Does he build basses ..?

[Kirky]

Very cool.  

[TheGreek]

Nice...scratch the "F****r" logo off and and leave it by my front door...

I can see somebody's Dad being busy in the near future...

My dad had the woodworking skills of an accountant. Sadly he was very keen to exersize those skills, and we had a lot of angled shelves, and wobbly cupboards!

One day I came downstairs and he was fitting a sliding door in the kitchen. He was nailing the running board at the bottom in. I said "Dad, you are supposed to use screws for that", He said "Ah, ok, thanks". Next time I came down he was hammering screws in. I didn't say anything.

Very nice, including the Ps.

I love the air guitars in the bottom two pictures.

Not for nothing is the hammer also known a 'Birmingham screwdriver'

[Bassalarky]

That is awesome!

[Bassfinger]

That looks fantastic!

[Maude]

What an amazing Dad 👍

That is the mutts nuts 

[Merton]

Proper job.  Love the adjustable spacers.

I assume, Michael, you don't subscribe to the notion that all Precisions sound the same?

Well, that fat 6 string precision at the end probably sounds different!

[wateroftyne]

Cheers for all the kind comments, everyone. I'll pass them on to him.

You're absolutely right 🙂

• Maruszczyk: Lightweight, modern-sounding P/J
• LPB Limelight: Smooth, fat
• 'Burst '73: A little bit growlier than above
• Black '72: Aggressive top, great with rounds
• 'Burst '71: Fretless, innit

Lots of bas(s)es covered, there...

[mcnach]

That looks really good!

[ambient]

It’s not just a bass stand though is it? It’s a work of art, fabulous. 

[HazBeen]

But why do you store your basses in’t garden? Surely they get wet there ..... 😂

Proper job which will give you a lifetime of pleasure no doubt.

I have never wanted anything so much that i cant have .... that is fantastic ... i had been looking at something similar on a stand website and they go for close to if not over £200 ...   https://www.stand-made.co.uk/product-category/multi-guitar-stand-racks/retro-style-multi-guitar-stands/

I reckon if you dad ever needs a sideline he'd have a queue going out the door.

That looks great, and not beyond the bounds of possibility for anyone who can hold a jigsaw. What did he use for the three cross pieces?
