RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Over the weekend, I recorded two tracks on soundcloud . This got me thinking , as 1 of those tracks had no bass guitar at all . So, although I have 9 , maybe a few of those should go. I haven't gigged since 2010. Ones I will keep; Washburn status, dean cabby in lovely yellow;) jack Daniels bass. Rest I'm not sure about . For example, I could sell the schecter 5 string and tune another one BEAD instead. Fret less? I don't know . As for effects; maybe I'm better off just using podfarm . Amp; although I love the Aguilar setup maybe a small markbass or gallien k. May be better incase I do a one off gig .

gary mac Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 It's not easy though is it? I always seem to come up with reasons to keep them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Not the least of which is that the market is still in the toilet ... Only sell now if you really have to, Ray. If this is a whim, then postpone it for a few years and wait for prices/demand to (start to) recover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 If you don`t need to sell at present, don`t - as Jack says, market not too good at present. Once it picks up, my advice would be if you don`t use an instrument/amp much, sell it. Keep what you use, and will realistically need.

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Thanks folks! Yep, the market has been truly pants for quite some time. At least I'm not giving up altogether just yet. I realise that certain ones are rare,but not too expensive (jack Daniels/ Dean Cabbie), so they are keepers even just to hang somewhere. The washburn Status will stay with me also, as it's my first 'proper' bass, and feels the most comfortable to play. Plus I've had it years (bought from new). The others are gathering dust...

Horizontalste Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Up until recently I had five basses, then I decided to simplify things. I now have two and when the market picks up the Stingray will be going leaving one. It really has made things easier. My bass feels super comfortable now because it's the only one I play & I can look in the for sale section and think 'that's nice' rather than 'I want it'.
