Telebass Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Going to reduce to one one fretted, one fretless, one acoustic. All else will have to go. No space for them, they don't get played. Be gone, oh ye superfluous beasties! Quote
gary mac Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 You'll just make space for the next batch, when the GAS strikes later in the year Quote
Telebass Posted December 20, 2013 Author Posted December 20, 2013 I've found, since I rebuilt all the FrankenFenders the last time, that I play just the two. Even the super-slim American Special Jazz tempts me not a bit. And I've found I've had many opportunities to go to Mansons and browse...and couldn't be bothered. What would I look at? I'd rather have more space than unused basses! Sure, there's a little bit of me that wants to keep them all, but they just get in the way, frankly. If I'm honest, being GAS-free in this way is a bit disappointing, but also strangely liberating! Quote
Horizontalste Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 I did it this year, find I appreciate the two I kept more & both get played so no dust gathering. Doing the same with amps now, just keeping the Genz Quote
Happy Jack Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 You won't be needing all those amps and combos then ... Quote

[/quote] Must admit I feel a bit the same I have been through so many basses recently and not because of GAS but I needed to find something that "worked" for me so now I have found what I want I am just keeping 2 P basses and my Thunderbird and I really need the room my house is way to small lol so in the new year I will be getting rid of all the excess gear so will have 3 basses and 1 amp and a few effects Quote

[/quote] That WAS part of the plan also...then new projects came along! The Big Rig is really too large for some of them, so the combos will stay for the moment, at least. Quote
