Bass for bullion

[PJRay]

Hi there.

By day I'm an interior designer specialising in commercial catering, but by night I've been collecting bass guitars, buying and selling examples that I considered undervalued or that would retain or increase their value. A couple of months ago my walk in wardrobe was so full of hard cases that there wasn't enough room for clothes. I took this as a sign that I should move a few instruments on. To be honest, if I hadn't run out of space to store instruments, I probably wouldn't be here.

I've been on the look out for a new obsession hobby that can relieve me of some of the cash my recent bass sales have generated. Precious metals might be similar to musical instruments in the respect that they are a physical asset that can (hopefully) hold value and appreciate over time. They are also both shiny and pretty which is important to me. Obviously I'd have a hard time coaxing a tune from coins that wasn't limited to a metallic clanging sound.

I'm a total newbie to this sort of thing and I'm joining with a desire to learn more about the subject, hoping in the long term to become a competent casual coin collector... and to regain some wardrobe space.

Thanks for having me.

What sort of bass guitars, condition and price range ?
I might consider a swap for some shiny metal but unfortunately have no knowledge of bass guitars so wouldn't know a good instrument from a bad and of course if it's a good deal.
A lot of trust in what you would say 🤔

I thought you were suggesting a fish for metal trade!

Hey Pete- maybe you know the tune?

Bass for Bullion sounds like a pretty good DnB album title. 

Welcome! Precious Metals are akin to guitars in many ways; there are new ones that are shiny and clean, old ones with beautiful patina that tell many stories, good versions aren't usually cheap and once you have one or two pieces you keep justifying reasons to get more...

There's a big counterfeit market for both too! 

This forum is a great place to learn for sure 👍
