Most of us collect more than chips, so here's the place to show off your favorites from your other collections.

Here's mine to start. CZ38. Semi-Auto .380 pistol originally designed for the Czech army, manufactured from 1939 -45.

@Chicken Rob - Is that a Stambaugh?

Some of my Brubaker Basses:

I used to collect basses for about 10 years. Now I'm down to 2. Poker chips are cheaper...at least so far.

Before I collected clay, I collected glass.

Cliff Bordwell.

Cliff Bordwell.

Should have known. The upper horn should have given it away. Very nice!

Some of my Brubaker Basses:

I had a 4 string single cut brubaker custom that I regret selling. Most comfortable neck I ever owned. played like butter. souded amazing. was just too heavy.

I also miss my Pedulla MVP4. Same description as above.

The Bordwell is 6.5 pounds. Plays and sounds great. Beautiful neck, second only to my former brubaker.

This is my Newport Buttonback. Sent it to the Custom Shop to add a sight line, and a vertical JYD stamp. Added CT 20g weights myself, and cut her down to 34" with a black Baby T grip. Such a sweet stick.

My hands free flush valve equipped urinal in my master bathroom.

My hands free flush valve equipped urinal in my master bathroom.

I lobbied to install a urinal in the basement (poker room) at my previous house. Never happened.

Moved into our new place, which had a bidet in the master bath. Lobbied to replace it with a urinal. Hasn't happened (yet).

2 things women don't realize they like about urinals until there is one:

floors stay cleaner
seat stays down

add these to your arsenal.

Both good arguments. However, for better or worse, I've been fully trained on putting the seat down, and except when my 6 or 9 year old use our bathroom, the floor generally stays pretty clean.

That said, I still contend a urinal would get a lot more use than the bidet. I think if it wasn't for the fact that removing the bidet would require retiling with tile no longer made, there's a small chance I could have convinced her to let me put one in. Next house...

Before I started collecting chips, I collected lenses.

You're like a brudder from anudder mudder.

Never seen a Bordwell in person. But I also regret selling a Pedulla...my old Pentabuzz:

The second Brubaker pictured sounded like GOD. Tangible difference between it and the other two. But It weighed close to 11 lbs. It was so hard to let it go, but my back thanks me every time I play. So I reworked the electronics and pickups of the last one pictured, and got it to sound VERY close. Weighs 7 lbs.

Yeah, those pedulas don't look so heavy with their small bodies, but I think they're solid maple, so come in heavier than they look.

When I played my pedula or brubaker, my left arm would eventually go numb from the strap pulling the weight into my shoulder and pinching the nerve. It turns out it's hard to play when you can't feel your fingers.

Some amazing looking basses. Only thing I could ever play was the piano but I always thought it would be cool to play a guitar or bass.

 

[72o]

This seems appropriate here.

 

[gopherblue]

Always wanted to play the bass.

It's not too late. Go for it!

Very underrated movie imo. One of the sleeper non-Apatow but Apatow-ish flicks. And has one of the best band cameo concert scenes.

Hopefully @JoseRijo has at least seen this clip if not the full movie. If not, feast thine eyes...

Banjo first.

Why is it that women object to urinals so much??? Tried to put one in our master bath when we renovated and Mrs. Jeff said no way. I pee on the seat on purpose now because of it.

I don't do Rush. It's very close to a hate thing. Very ironic that I owned (and loved) a Geddy Lee Signature J-bass for years.
But that clip is pretty funny.

Start practicing. Bass players can do a fantastic job of filling a role without doing anything technically fancy. Just lock in to the feel of the music and know your drummer. No need to start at birth. (Although I really wish I did.)
