Paul S Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I think my rig is sorted now - Barefaced Midget + Compact + TC Electronic Classic 450 (which I love!). I moved to lightweight from a classic era Trace Elliot rig and now don't miss it - in fact what I have now is a improvement. Before that I had an Ashdown MAG210-300 with a 115 extension or whichever way around the numbers go but it seemed to lack what I wanted. I did a gig where backline was provided and the Ashdown ABM rig available was a very different beast to the MAG - sounded great - but too heavy for me these days. All goes to prove it is very subjective. Sadly I still have endless curiosity about different basses. My current favourite is a Fender Precision Lyte fitted with a J-Retro, which nudges ahead of a Fender Power Jazz Bass Special only by virtue of its lower weight.

kerley Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I think that is it, there is just a curiousity to always try different basses. For me personally it would probably be better to lease/hire and change whenever I want at a monthly cost. May not seem efficient but would mean I could try all sorts of basses and the cost would possibly be no worse than the selling costs, losses and hassle. I may be onto something there as GAS seems to be a widespread problem! (and the more interests you have the bigger the problem - I am also just as bad with cameras and bikes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I`m now in this position, got the right gear for my needs. Of course there are many other things I`d like, but for my bands, my setup is exactly what is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I'm OK, too. My P-Bass GAS is now over, but I still get a bit of amp and cab GAS. Then I'll do a gig and realise my amp and cab are totally brilliant and I don't need to buy anything else, ever. I would just be giving in to blatant consumerism.
