Do you play?

I play the bass, no pick, just fingers. But i'm a Fender fan.  I have a USA P bass in some kind od frozen blue paintwork, and a pink 'roadworn' Flea jazz bass

Should start a 'other hobbies' thread on here. Be interesting to see what people do when they aren't collecting metals. Maybe there is and i havnt seen it yet.

Got a bit of collectible silver in this week - a 2018 QB Unicorn, a couple of TB lions and a couple of Hildegards.

If I've done my arithmetic correctly I'm up to 98oz of silver now, about 50% bullion and 50% assorted Perth Mint, Royal Mint and Germania collectibles.  

In related news, my quest for a source of 40.6mm caps that fit into H tubes is still ongoing.  I know these must exist because I have some of them that came with some coins, but my attempts to identify their provenance have been an exercise in banging my head against a brick wall.

Any fees in the import ?

Looks like they're based in the U.S. of A. so you'll have to pay freight charges and maybe VAT.

I never have, just postage.

Thanks to @Imehufc for the deal on this beauty 925 ring. Needed a lot of clean up to bring back to life but very cool 😎

Before pics and vid once cleaned up

[Zeuk]

Not particularly shiney but a practical box that fits snuggly in secure storage just need to write fake on the side now …

Nah!! P Bass comes in the top three (usually number 1) of every ‘best bass’ list I’ve ever seen. Never seen a Westone on any of them😆😆😆😆

I had a Weston’s Thunder IIIA. It weighed a ton but looked quite cool, like a poor man’s Aria ( had one of those too)

They are Aria's just a different headstock. Made in the same factory by the same company.

Good vid Kev.

I'll have a proper watch later on and subscribe

Received 3 of these today & 3 a week or so ago. Not being a sov collector I like the more unusual reverse on some of these.

[matt1r]

Been after one of these in nice condition for a while.

Fresh through the door this morning
