dmccombe7 Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) Gas free at moment. Bought my Overwater 6 fretless last year and GB Streamliner 600 & 2off Berg AE112 cabs this year. Skint and nothing else i need at moment. OR IS THERE ??? Dave Edited May 22, 2011 by dmccombe7 Quote
Musicman20 Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 I realised last night that a 1x10 combo would be pointless in the band Im in, despite out volume levels being low. It would get swallowed up straight away. So, thats small combo gas long gone. Quote
Delberthot Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Completely amp and cab gas-free. I love the sound and it will cope easily with anything I'm doing just now. I'll never sell the Thunderbird and am loving the Blazer cos its got the Precision tone I'd been searching for for years. Just bought an 8 string yesterday and already thinking about selling it. I really fancy one of those CV 50s Precisions now that they do them in a more eye-friendly colour. Anyone bored with theirs already and want to take a walk on the wild side with a swap? Quote
karlfer Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Yes, I know the last contribution to this thread was 4 years ago It's taken me a VERY long time to realise what I like and need to become GAS free My name is Karl and I am GAS free Quote
CamdenRob Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) GAS gets you in the end... it's devious and always finds a way, you are never truly free. I am 100% with my bass, amp and cabs and utterly GAS free, so the GAS demon has moved on and got me thinking about guitar gear instead ... the bastard. Edited April 10, 2015 by CamdenRob Quote

La Cabronita is a Dusty Hill alike with a TV Jones pup. I only NEED the 1st two, they cover all that I require in the two bands I'm in. But 2 isn't enough is it Quote
Happy Jack Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 I thought I had GAS but it turned out to be photo-chemical smog. Quote

I can see the familiar pattern - 2 basses I use regularly, and revolving door for basses I think I need but don't. Quote
discreet Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Finally realised the only bass I really want is one I'd already had for decades (and nothing else) until I joined BassChat, got GAS and sold it. I've been trying to find a bass like it for the last four years, but I can't. Naughty BassChat! But now it's available and I'm going for it. Reunion NBD thread in a week or two. Quote
Machines Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 [quote name='Machines' timestamp='1302602630' post='1196625'] Hmm nah. I want a Ricky (Fireglo), a Precision and a Stingray. The Overwater is fantastic, but doesn't have the strong tonal characters of the others I want. Realistically, I won't be getting any of them because I won't have significant disposable income this year , Amp wise ? Been happy with the ABM for years... [/quote] So it's been almost exactly 4 years since this post and since then i've been through 10 basses (of which 4 remain) and bought a new amp. I am happy with nearly all of my basses currently and know the Lakland and Fender won't budge. I am going to sell the Spector soon though as despite efforts, 6 strings don't work for me (it took me 2 of them to realise). I do still want a Stingray (a Sterling SUB will do), but not as phased about the Rick. Quote

JTUK Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 I've got two new 112's coming as I do still need a 2x112 lightweight option but since I can make a case for needing them, that isn't GAS. I've always had it in mind to add another J5...but I don't want to wait for it. Quote
Bobthedog Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 I was entirely GAS free until some buffoon (joke!) posted pictures of the Torzal Twist bass at Bass Direct recently. Fortunately I have other responsibilities in the way at the moment, but they do not remove the pain of GAS! Quote
Fisheth Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Thought I was GAS free until someone decided to send me a link for some Ibanez basses. No money though, maybe it's for the best however! Quote
Geek99 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Pretty much gas free I do hanker for a fiver once in a while but usually stop myself realising that I don't devote enough time/get enough time to practice anyway . I have a precision, acoustic and a stingray clone and it's enough One day I will try fretless, eub, fiver etc Mind you a really big stack would massively annoy my teenage son... Quote

RhysP Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Totally GAS free. For the first time in my life I have the money to buy any bass I could want but I have absolutely no desire whatsoever to do so. If I'd had that money 25 years ago I'd be neck deep in basses by now. Quote
rogerstodge Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 I'm totally sorted now great amp set up, a bass for every occasion . Hang on.. I don't have a fretless. Hmmnnm!! Quote
UglyDog Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Iwas totally GAS-free, until I heard the awesome sound of my mate's Modulus 5 through his GK neo rig the other night. Now I'm not so sure... Quote
