I decided I wanted to get a bass guitar because I don't have one, have never played one and always thought it'd be the kind of thing that suited me. I'm a big lover of unique items, I'd much rather have something that was crappy but unique as opposed to something amazing but well known. So I started to look around the net for something with a bit of character... I trawled eBay and found nothing that really tickled my fancy (one or two maybe, but they were obviously extortionately priced because the seller knew they were rare, even if they were poor.)
Eventually I decided to have a little peek on Gumtree for the first time in ages and found a guy who lived about 5 minutes drive from me selling a bass for £40 which was perfect - wasn't massively unique but I intend to strip it down and repaint and refit it, so that it's a bit more personalised. The cool thing though was that he was also selling a guitar - a rather fine guitar, for a mere £90. I couldn't resist. I managed to get it down to £120 for both and now I'm rather satisfied.
Feast thine eyes.
My sister would love these! They're lost on me however, I'm more interested in the music they make ;)
