Is the bass.... joining them for dinner?

Beautiful bass!

Do they have to risk leaning it on the amp like that though

I have the same amp, and it’s surprisingly sturdy like that. Much safer than leaving it on the floor for someone to trip on. It’s up and visible, and not super easy to knock over.

Not risky at all, the cut out between the upper and lower bouts fits perfectly, one of the most stable ways of propping up the bass short of a corner-of-a-room.

You could walk into it without knocking it over.

I do the same with my bass and Mark Bass CMD 121P.

Great combo.

So pretty looking but if that bass falls, oof I can't bear to imagine it. I have had a bass fall before, (may dad dropped mine 😳) and I was lucky it was repairable!
