You’ve won £1000

[Rayman]

What’s the first thing that springs to mind?

 

A holiday? A car repair? A holiday? The wife’s birthday (😒)? An amp??

 

OR…

 

A lovely new bass 😈? What bass? You’ve got a grand…. if you want a new Stingray, you’ll have to put some more in…. but how about a new Reverend Mercalli or Sire V10? What’s it going to be?

In days gone by, I would have jumped at this and had a pre-prepared list. As I've gotten older, money (and by extension, personal possessions) mean less and less; its more about finding a balance of contentedness with other people, relationships, animals, location, environment etc. If you gave £1000 to a dog, it wouldn't make it happy.

 

Maybe the best things in life are free?

A boss sy-200 and some jazz cigarettes

I have had a terrible gas,and when I run to the shop, they have sold the last one few minutes ago. Won £1k!

[Bleat]

Another Gibson Les Paul bass that I can look at lovingly and moan about being too damn heavy.

[lozkerr]

I'd likely add some dosh to it to buy a Sei Flamboyant 5.

[Linus27]

Fender Japan 51 Reissue Precision 

[PaulThePlug]

4 NEW tyres for the car... £450

One of them new Squier Sonic P's for £170... just to see.

Curry for the family,

The rest to see us through a week or 2.

[Waddo Soqable]

Start hunting around for another old Rick (obviously with a bit more dosh on top)

Fkg auto incorrect, again

I would think it’s a scam.

[tauzero]

Put it towards whatever motorcycle I replace my Triumph Tiger 800 with.

[fleabag]

The 5 quid i won on the Thunderball last Saturday wont get me much.  Can you lend me £995 ?

[neepheid]

This Greco LGB-700, 3 pickup Les Paul shaped nutcase, preferrably in the pictured purpleburst:

 

[Burns-bass]

Pay it off the mortgage and get one step closer to debt freedom!

[tegs07]

Invest  it in BYD Co (Chinese EV Auto Company). May end up losing it, might make a few quid.

[Paolo85]

Right now the only bass-related thing I would buy is a set of Hipshot Licensed ultralight for my Squier J. For the rest, I have enough and need to free up space. 

However, pretending space was not an issue and I could splash it all in gear, I would buy various bits:

Nux MLD preamp-DI

Hipshot Licensed Ultralight for my Squier J

Retrovibe preamp+Aguilar AGM4+soldering iron for my Cort GB54

Harley Benton JB62 OR a used Squier CV 60s J +GHS Precision Flats+another set of hipshots

A cheap P bass body for a project to rescue a troubled P neck

Another three-bass rack

A good strap

 

[Bigwan]

A Handbox WB100... 

[BigRedX]

Behringer XR18 and a new rack case to put it in.

Yup, that sh*t's getting deleted without being read, that's if the spam filters haven't got it first.

I only clicked the link to this thread in order to pay my 250 quid in administration fees before cashing in the 1,000 quid.
Disappointed.

My first thoughts as well

[fretmeister]

I'd buy my youngest a new laptop to replace her aging pile of crap.

[KingBollock]

Some bits to go with my new electric drum kit. Such as the extension tom and cymbal pads. A cable so that I can plug it into my PC, and a nice drum vst.

 

A Tamiya Sand Viper (RC buggy), with a nice ESC and motor combo. And a crawler for my wife.

 

I am going to be building desks (PC gaming and recording desk, and a modelling and painting desk) and storage furniture for my Lair, which is going to take quite a bit of wood. Once all that’s done, I’d go to town on the lighting. Lots of black light and other mood lighting. All voice controlled.

Either put it towards a D-Roc or a new laptop. My MacBook Pro is 10 years old now, which doesn't make the initial £1000 cost seem that bad. Still runs well with the solid state drive I put in years ago and I've had to replace the data cable once. It also currently sees a much lighter workload than when I first got it, but an upgrade is probably due at some point!
