Stupid idea?

[AntLockyer]

I'm thinking of selling a bass that I very very rarely use (but love) so I can buy an amp head. Now this on the face of it seems quite sensible. That's until you realise I already have an amp head and it has had less use than said bass as most of the time I just take my combo out with me. Having just turned down a very regular gig where the new head would have been perfect also feeds into the madness.

I think you've answered your own question.

I say sell the bass, buy the amp head. Then if you regret it you have learnt a life lesson and if you don't regret it then good.
I always go and do what i please which is mainly why i live a life of regrets and lessons haha.

Why not sell the bass, old head AND the combo and invest all the takings in a lovely new head + cab

[Horizontalste]

I had a bass that I loved but rarely used, I sold it.

Still regret it now.

[steve-bbb]

i say give it all away to charity and find a new hobby

[Monckyman]

How much?

[Weststarx]

Keep the bass, sell the other amp head and combo

[AntLockyer]

Ooh I like the idea of selling all the unused kit and consolidating. The really perverse part of all of this is the head I want I've never actually heard! Consumerism at its very worst.

The cycle of GAS - only to end up back where you started! [size=4] [/size]

[discreet]

We need to know which bass, amp head and combo you already have, and which amp head you want to buy! With pics!

[AntLockyer]

that would end up too much like a for sale ad and I'm not going down that route


the stuff in red is hardly used, the rest is used daily, I'd really like a Aguilar TH500

We can probably infer the situation from that list! But surely you can tell us which amp head you want to buy?

This is so true. Pity it costs £1000's to learn this law. It's as sure as the law of the harvest.

You could eradicate the time and effort wasted by GAS and just buy one decent serviceable amp and bass - then simply throw fifty-pound notes down the toilet for a few weeks.

I've not used one, but there is a lot of love for them on here. I can see how you'd be tempted!

[RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE]

Yeah , get the Aguilar awesome amps ,)

[bigd1]

I don't understand the question, go on run it by me again........ slowly please.

[AntLockyer]

Should I sell my unused stuff to buy more new stuff that will probably sit there unused too?
