How to raise cash for a better bass? Is it even possible?

[bassbiscuits]

Put simply - I want something but I don't have the money for it.

Option 1 = save/earn the money for it.

Option 2 = accept you can't afford it and get something cheaper.

That's more or less how life works as far as I can tell.

 

EDIT: Oh yeah - and credit cards.

I am very happy to share with the OP the secret of being able to save the money for an excellent custom made bass:

Order a  Wal

You will then have at least two years in which to save up the money to pay for it (*)

I should be getting mine in April

 

 

(*) OK, you will need a couple of grand up front...

I really wanted a double bass. REALLY wanted one. I got an extra evening bar job and stop smoking to fund it. 2 years later I got that double bass. Go fund yourself, it's perfectly doable. 

Double bass changed my life... 🙂

You can simulate yacht ownership by standing under a cold shower with your clothes on, ripping up £50 notes. 👍

Reminds me of one of my favourite submissions to Viz Top Tips:

"Save yourself the huge expense of a skiing holiday by recreating the experience at home: simply strap a plank of wood to each foot, sit in your fridge for half an hour and then run headfirst into the nearest tree."

Yes, Go fund yourself seems the general answer

I did not know Vikings wore blue underpants. Well I never!
