NancyJohnson Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 (edited) I'll have to admit to being fairly GAS-free at the moment; I really couldn't be happier with my set up, but hey, in a few days it'll be 2017, so let's see. #1 - I've promised myself that each time I change strings, they'll be to Elixir Nanowebs. #2 - A series one Hamer Cruise Bass this side of the pond (anyone?); they come up on eBay periodically, but to import, I can't justify the expense. #3 - If I can shift my Hartke stuff, a Barefaced Super Twin or Big Twin II. [Edit] #4 - At my wife's suggestion, an EUB. Edited December 24, 2016 by NancyJohnson Quote
Lozz196 Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 I`m pretty sure I`m going to sort myself an Ashdown ABM amp, possibly the 600. Quote
ezbass Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 A new custom build Maruszczyk Elwood L for me. After that I should be sorted ( yeah right). Quote
Lord Sausage Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 I want one of them Hartke HA5500's Quote
phil.c60 Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 I keep on fancying a G&L L2000. Really would like a USA one, has to be a lefty, can't seem to find one in the UK but may bite the bullet and buy a Tribute. Don't need it, quite happy with my P Bass Hot Rod. Not sure why I want it, but I just do. Quote
Merton Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 (edited) Got an ACG Skelf SS due somepoint in 2017, other than that unless I stumble across a pot of gold there'll be no change (for once!) at Merton towers. Edited December 24, 2016 by Merton Quote
SpondonBassed Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 I've promised myself that I'll consider a nice (£500ish) fretless five but [u]only[/u] when my intonation on the fretless four that I already have improves sufficiently. Quote
Mudpup Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 I keep thinking about a Precisiony type thing.....or maybe its G+L equivalent perhaps. May have to sell my sparkly Stingray to get one though Quote
barneyg42 Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 Sire 5 string is floating my boat at the moment!! Quote
DiceSociety Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 Not strictly bass related, but I really want one of these! https://www.arturia.com/products/hardware-synths/matrixbrute/overview Quote
AutomaticWriting Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 I need a new main bass, currently fighting it out are the new Fender Flea Jazz bass, a MusicMan Stingray or an old Yamaha BB1200. Probably going to be more out of the first two. I also need to overhaul all of my rigs, tidy up my pedalboards, swap out a few pedals etc. Quote
grayn Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 Keep fancying another go, with a fiver. It's not that I find them hard to play but I keep reverting to 4-stringers. Quite fancy one of the Ibanez Premium models. Or an EBMM. Yummy. Quote
timmo Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 I hjave no idea why, but I have a hankering for a D`Angelico EX. No idea why, but |I really want one Quote
Dazed Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 Still mulling over getting another 6er, it's been many years since the last failed attempt at one, I just couldn't get comfortable with it and the temptation to go back to "easy" 5s and 4s was too much. Quote
Bobthedog Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 (edited) I genuinely have had no GAS since getting my Roscoe / Barefaced setup a year / six months ago. Until now. I picked up a Dingwall Combustion two months ago and love it so much, I now want Dingwall Z3. Luckily, there appear to be none around ATM. A Z3 plus a 112 / 115 cab and head for the the lightweight travel option and I am sorted. Probably BF for the cab, not sure of the head yet. Edited December 24, 2016 by Bobthedog Quote
anzoid Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 Would love a fretless Precision - but one with a maple fingerboard... Bitsa or a real Fender would do the job. Quote
Bassassin Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 Don't have any nagging GAS at all really - but I just know something will turn up & I'll end up pulling the trigger. If I have any New Year Resolutions, one will have to be to sell more basses than I buy next year! Quote
AndyTravis Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 ESP are doing a bass called a TL-5SM. A 5 string acoustic slimline bass. Quote
Raslee Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 Got a hankering to try a Peavey Axcelerator bass if anyone's selling? No doubt my umpteenth 5 string Lakland or Yamaha will pass my way again, only be sold until the next 😂 Quote
machinehead Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 I fancy the new Quilter 800 amp although I'd like to try before I buy 'cos I don't really need another amp. Frank. Quote
CamdenRob Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 Fretless Wal sixer due in the summer... also quite fancy the new Glock class D. Quote

JapanAxe Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 Not really GASing for anything bass-related at the moment, but experiencing a bit of a home recording renaissance so no doubt that will throw up something I can't possibly live without. Quote
Damonjames Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 I have to admit, I'm relatively GAS free, but that's largely due to the fact my bloody house has just fleeced me in emergency repairs. Number 1 on the list has been there for nearly 4 years, just can't ever seem to do a deal on one. 1. Gallien Krueger Fusion 550 2. Musicman 30th anniversary Stingray5 3. Musicman stingray5 with HH in black/maple 4. Musicman Stingray 5 in a sparkle flake finish. Yes boring I know, but aside from some effects I've been dying to try for ages, that's all I'm into at the minute! Merry Christmas everyone!! Quote
