Pookus Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Just by chance my wife had left the ironing board out. I needed to change the set up on one of my basses. Ironing board made a great set up table - right height and padded too. Marvelous. I might sell a load of ironing boards as guitar work benches (with suitable mark up) Quote
Buzz Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 That's rather cunning. All you'd need to do is put some non-stick rubber on the top and you'd be sorted. Perhaps modify the top to make it square, and include some sort of adjustable cushioned rest for the headstock. Sorted. Quote
Stingray5 Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 My ironing board rarely sees the light of day, basically 'cos I'm crap at ironing! I think it will at least get that bit more use now - especially when it comes to the ol' 'steam' bass...!! Quote
EBS_freak Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 My ironing board is shakey as fut! There is no way I would put anything on mine!! Quote
josh3184 Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 agreed, mine gets nervous very easily and sometimes spontaneously collapses. Not so bad when its just a shirt on there but a bass...? Quote
farmer61 Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Hmmm, wouldn't want to discourage the missus from using it though! Quote

I had been looking for one up until 6 months ago. Fabulous bit of kit. Nice one. Quote

Ours even has a handy metal tray at one end for keeping screws in. Just managed to get it packed away before Mrs Deaver got home from work and had me sectioned for ironing my basses. Quote

Happy Jack Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 The logical Heath Robinson solution would be to fit collapsible legs to your bass ... Quote

Golchen Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 I've been using an ironing board as a guitar bench for years. I thought everyone did ............. Quote
