Roland Rock Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Who on this forum would vote no?? You know that of course Marvin. You seek validation to assuage your guilt. Without a file containing the necessary information (list of your current gear, graphs to show how well that gear currently satisfies your musical needs, bank statements, debts, earnings etc.) I'm just gonna say DO IT Edited February 18, 2015 by Roland Rock Quote

Marvin Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) The hour is up. Great result, a resounding yes. I'm off to find my stash of cash and car keys EDIT: whoever voted no, it was after the deadline Edited February 18, 2015 by Marvin Quote
discreet Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Have you got it yet? Come on, we need to see pics! Quote
ratman Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1424257296' post='2694371'] Have you got it yet? [/quote] My thoughts too. I want to see the list/photos of all the new gear. Quote
Marvin Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 I went, I saw...and didn't buy anything. The bass 'department' seems to have shrunk markedly in Mansons to make room for , um, a lot more acoustic guitars it seems. I did see a very nice candy apple red Fender MIM Jazz. It really did look very nice and felt very nice. BUT, at up around £550ish I think it was, just not nice enough. There were quite a few 4 figure Fenders, all out of my price range. The Pedulla's were very nice...but they were into 4 figures as well. The basses were all ok, but nothing really grabbed me. I was disappointed with the amp side of things, there was very little to choose from. A few Hartke combos and the odd bit of this and that really. I also went into another music shop in Exeter which was quite frankly a complete waste of time. Where they keep what pitiful basses they have is an embarrassment, they just shouldn't bother. SO...I've still got Jazz bass GAS Quote
yorks5stringer Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 As it's half term I voted no to save you from hordes of wannbe guitarists. However it seems the visit passed without incident and Bass. On that subject and re your gas, have you visited the Marcus Miller/Sire Bass thread? Very affordable... Quote
Mornats Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 A lotta love for Squier VMs on here at the moment too if that MIM seemed too expensive. Quote
