2017 GAS

[interpol52]

Musicman Stingray 5.

[scalpy]

Pedaltrain nano+ and power supply is a must. 40 this year so was thinking G&L lb100 with flats but just got the pad for legally blond (which is a great part) and I really need a 5 string!

[skej21]

A really fancy a custom 5 string Shuker but trying to buy a house. If the house ends up being cheaper than expected, I'll be emailing!

Yeah, saw that one and had to wipe the drool off the laptop screen. Bit out of my price range at the moment though, that and I just bought a Sandberg fretless jazz type thing and a Squier CV jazz... so, no money left

[Skybone]

I'm GASing for a Ric, or at least another Rockinbetter faker.

[FinnDave]

I know it's hopelessly extravagant, but I might change the strings on my white US Precision this year. Only if I start playing it again, though. It was my main gigging bass but has been case bound since I got my pair of black n maple Ps, both of which have had new strings recently.

More likely to end this year with fewer basses than more (I hope!).

[dmccombe7]

Bass wise i fancy a Fender Elite PJ type bass.
Amp wise i have a strong notion for either Orange AD200b or OB-1 500 with Orange 4x10 cab. Still not sure how the amps will compare. Played the AD200b amp thru a Hartke 8x10 cab few months ago and it was absolutely on the spot for me sound wise. Depth and clarity and so easy to use.
Will ponder on it for a while yet.

My chain is '64 Precision to an Aguilar 500 to a Barefaced Super Compact.

It is literally all I need. I bought a 66 Precision because my GAS demanded a Sonic Blue bass. It's now for sale.

You know the saying: "When a man is tired of London he is tired of life", this could be re-written as:

"When a man has no GAS he is tired of playing." I hope this isn't true of me!

Really fancy one of the Ampeg PF-50Ts, for no good reason other than it looks so damn cute! Plus it's got the ultra hi & low buttons that I love on my SVT 2-Pro and might be useable without breaking my back every time I have a gig. But mainly because it's so damn cute!

[KevB]

Replaced the strings on my main gigging bass last night so I'm probably sorted until the summer...

[Geek99]

Gas free

[radiophonic]

I was Gas Free until our last practice, when the use of distortion/overdrive was encouraged. The OD and Fuzz pedals I have aren't up to it alas and I now have EBS Gas. On the flipsisde I'm considering looking for a trade on my 2016 USA Fretless Jazz - probably another fretless, probably another Musicman. Will this never stop?

[MacDaddy]

Wouldn't mind a Future Impact. But unless they are having a sale

No major GAS for now

The only thing I'm really interested in is the new Spector Timbre acoustic bass ([url="http://www.spectorbass.com/Timbre"]http://www.spectorbass.com/Timbre)[/url]

Other than that - I wouldn't mind a used USA ultraviolet qulted maple (dark purple) Spector NS2 if one came up for an affordable price....

[Japhet]

GAS free, but would probably have a Redwitch Factotum if one came up at reasonable money.

[Harryburke14]

Quite like the look of the 2017 Ibanez stuff personally. Will have to try when I get the gear.

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.

Well, seeing as how nearly a year has passed.

Only really achieved #1 off that list.  Mind you, a lot of gear has come, gone and is anticipated before the new year bells toll.

 

[machinehead]

Well, I bought a Quilter Bass Block 800 just last week and I see earlier in this thread that I wanted one this time last year.

This year maybe an EUB.

Frank.

[Woodinblack]

This year trim things back.

haha - yeh, right, probably upgrade my thunderbird, maybe my iceman, both on a one in, one out. Other than that not much I expect.

[josie]

Johnny Roadhouse had my dream MarkBass rig in the window for a while. But second-hand at not much less than list price, and I can't justify spending that much money or having that much output power for anyplace I'm likely to play any time soon. Settled on upgrading my Peavey 15 to a Peavey 110. That will do for now :-)

[Delberthot]

I haven't had any GAS since I bought my Sterling, GK & Barefaced. The Gibson was bought on the spur of the moment

 

If the Gibson works out I can see a Thunderbird in my life in the near future

[discreet]

Not saying, my GAS consists of basses and amps I've already owned and very stupidly moved on. 

[LewisK1975]

Relatively GAS free at the moment, I say that as you never know what may happen, but the last thing I was GASsing for was the Helix, and I got that last weekend.

Happy with my Basses at the moment, but there is other stuff around (pedals etc) that I need to be selling off now....

A house? Pah! Get your priorities right!
