Naetharu Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Played an Ampeg Valve head the other week and keep thinking about getting one. It's expensive, heavy, and difficult to use compared to what I have now...but it sounds so nice. Saying that, I'd rather like to have a look at the new PortaFlex valve heads too since they're far more home-use friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ern500evo Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Yamaha Attitude Ltd, every gig I do lately I take the Streamer and Sire V7, sold my 'Ray so you'd think that these two have established themselves as my main gigging basses. So, why have I looked at Torvic's ad for his sea foam green attitude ltd 2 about 20 times in the last week or so!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamdenRob Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 a 4x10... I have absolutely no need for one and can't transport it anywhere, so it would basically be a large and inconvenient house ornament... but I still want one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Currently have major GAS for a Status - Chris Wolstenholme model. Anyone played one what's the neck profile like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectoremg Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I'll probably always have lingering GAS for a Kubicki Factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkboy Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I was doing OK until I checked out the local Gumtree situation. Colour change sucks but, hey, that can be sorted. The £1200 asking price, on the other hand, means the GAS must remain unrequited [url="https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/1979-pre-ernie-ball-music-man-sabre-bass/1149418316"]https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/1979-pre-ernie-ball-music-man-sabre-bass/1149418316[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBassBob Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I'm kind of GAS free at the moment. I've got a Boomerang III coming which I'm eager to play with. Depending on how composition goes I MIGHT grab a BeatBuddy for percussion and midi sync them. Bass wise I'm quite content but I've been thinking about getting a Status fretless neck for my Stingray for a while for those times I want to pretend I'm Pino or Levin.

EBS_freak Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I've been GAS free for many years. That's a bit of a blessing I guess. Yes, I get intrigued by new basses... but to date, haven't been in the position where I think, wow, must get this... or be in the position where I think a new bass would unseat my current basses of choice. In terms of amps, the thing that killed all enthusiasm for amps was going in-ears. Decent PA > any bass amp. My only purchases nowadays seem to be things like fret wraps and the like. I haven't even bought any new straps for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) I'm in a bizarre position of wanting something new (as GAS does to you) but with a pick of everything in the world, have no obvious target. I'm auditioning for a band on Weds where my Precision would be the ideal bass from a tone and image point of view, yet I want to take something more versatile but without looking OTT as 5 string totally not needed for this music (it's mostly 70s rock covers). That said the Fender Roadworn Precision in Fiesta Red in the Market is VERY nice, and it isn't the first time i've eyeballed them and felt a bit lustful. I could afford if I sold to buy something but I don't think there's anything I want to part with, everything I have is great. I think if anything having so many good instruments is confusing - as you have nothing to aim for anymore (except learning to play better and actually make music).

ben4343 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Well, it's been nearly a year, and I still want a P-bass... It has evolved slightly to needing a humbuckery thing in the bridge, but I still really want a P-bass. Oh my dog I want a P-bass. Vintage white with tort or black guard. Maple board, non-painted headstock. Maybe active, as I've never had one before. Is it too much to ask??! The upswing of Maruszczyk popularity (and their infuriating affordability) really hasn't helped... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit annoyed that the Ditto x4 was announced the following week but honestly I don't think anyone can beat Boomerang, this thing is pure quality! As for me, no real GAS bass-wise. Should an ESP horizon 5 string pop up I wouldn't be able to stop myself, mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 An Eigenharp Alpha. Or maybe a Tau at a guess. But there is no way I would ever justify getting one of those, or survive if I did. But maybe one day, lottery, bank robbery, wealthy unknown relative or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
