mikeh Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Hi Im Mike and Im an ex bassplayer, yeh right. Quit playing a couple of months ago as Im sure most of you know. I sold all my gear to concentrate on my Archery. Now after watching Stevie on Jonathon Ross last night I want to play again. I have a weekness for Sir Duke, what can I say. So Im looking to buy another bass and something like a MPBT1 It does help that Im being continually asked to Jam with Blues guitarist I know and have played with on and off for a few years.

MythSte Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Oh you poor bloke! haha. Ive taken a step back from buying bass gear. It was actually turning into quite a nasty addiction! :S Got a good mid range bass and cracking amp. Heres to simplicity! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machines Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I bet you were on some archery forum and read up about 'BAS' (Bow Aquistion Syndrome) and it reminded you of the futility of it all . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 I was quite suprised to read someone on www.archery-interchange.com use the term GAS!! I was still spending time on ebay looking what bows where coming on for sale!!!! Doesnt matter what you do, if you have GAS you have GAS......

stingrayfan Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Welcome to the site Mike. Always nice to have a new player... Have you thought about getting a Marcus Miller Jazz, Lakland DJ4, Bongo or maybe a Scheter Model T? You could probably pick one up cheap around here. Forget bow and arrows, get back on the bass!
