Nail Soup Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 You've finally achieved the public recognition you so richly deserve, and have been invited onto Desert Island Discs. What would you choose as your luxury item? A bass right? Well let's see! Of course share the details! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Think i would go for a piano. I am guessing I would be there a while, gives a bit more scope 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveXFR Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 A piano. There should be enough wood in it to make a raft and you can use the wire to tie it all together. If I'm not allowed that then I'll take Selma Hayek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekomatic Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 According to the spreadsheet that this guy has compiled, the only guest to choose a bass guitar was Linton Kwesi Johnson, while Gerald Moore and Mark Rylance asked for double basses. I think I'd choose an instrument I couldn't play well, so I could use the time to learn it. (Security, please eject the heckler at the back who said 'so a bass guitar then') 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Presumably the island has electricity, or this amp is going to be a bit redundant?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I'd take a volleyball, paint a face on it and call it Wilson. I'd have someone to talk to at least 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Potable water as those stupid desert islands never have some. THAT is a luxury item for the next generations too, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downunderwonder Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 A drum kit so I could learn drums by playing along with the allowable Dessert Island Discs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OliverBlackman Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) Can I take my collection of bass books too? Might finally actually get through them on an island. edit: it can’t just be one bass either. I’ll need at least 5.

Bobthedog Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Obviously an Octobass. Once I have learnt to play it, it should make a very nice dinghy in which to sail home. 😀 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The complete works of Robbie Shakespeare on a desert island would do me fine, as long as I had a bass 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Octobass is a musical instrument like a large double bass. I am sure that is allowed. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyJohnson Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I've given this some thought in the past. Unsure whether it's a luxury or not, but (assuming I'd be stranded wearing glasses), I'd go for a really good pair of nail clippers. I can't bite my nails, never have been able to. I don't have a Windsoresque horsey overbite or anything, but the layout of my front gnashers is such that nails go unbitten; they just don't work for that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Either my tv, DVD player and dvds or my books, I think if completely deserted and no chance of getting off of it these would keep my mind more occupied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
