Lozz196 Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) I`d love the self-discipline to do this, but am just too weak, I NEED the basses for sale section............ Edited April 8, 2014 by Lozz196 Quote
Paul S Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 You don't even have to make it as far as the For Sale section. I was asking a question in the general bass discussion, got chatting (as you do), next thing I knew I had somehow bought another one. (mods - it was advertised in the classifieds, I hasten to add...) (Actually it was a Mod wot sold it to me...) Quote
Annoying Twit Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 I'm probably at fault in the other direction. I see basses for sale that I really should buy, but it's so hard to separate me from my money. Quote
Damonjames Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 I'm I a really nice place at the moment, I love my amp and it More than serves my needs, my pedal board is almost full, and I'm not listing after anything in particular. I am enjoying my current stable of basses too, but there is ALWAYS something... Right now it's a fretless 5 stingray, and a fernandes gravity 5, and and active fender jazz And.... Fortunately right now I can live without anything new, and almost comfortably, but I'm sure it won't be long until I HAVE to have something... Why do we do it? Quote

[/quote] lol Bassnut, a man that knows himself. I seem to be fairly helpless or hopeless as well. One thread around January I quoted myself as saying I was now GAS free (and I believed it at the time as well).. bought 2 (nice) basses since then.. Quote
Thunderbird Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 I find it easy there are tons of basses I would love but I don't have the dosh so I'm not going to waste my time or the sellers (unlike some on here I am sorry to say), so I just window shop Quote
JTUK Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Damn this thread... I now have gas for a Fender J5 deluxe... Sunburst and red tort, RW, block and bound would be just the ticket. Quote
stubass Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 I've just bought my third since Xmas. Although one is going up for sale soon. However, can I sell it and not buy another? I think already know the answer. Tis a slippery slope! Quote

[/quote] Doh - When you have run out of DOH Ray - You should refrain from looking at stingRAY's Me - I am the first to admit to this problem Far - Keep your wallet further from your mouse hand than your coffee when sat at a computer (esp on basschat/ebay etc) So - SO my new years resolution should be La - to spend less time LArking about and looking at stuff I can't afford and actually being productive. Tea - Have a nice cuppa TEA, sit about and don't rush into things where GAS is concerned. Doh - Follow these pointers and it should start to accumulate! Quote

2004gdavi Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Space is the final frontier. Nearly bought a Wal 5 string fretless the other night but just couldn't think where to put it in the house. Quote
