Sweet! Doesn't have to be encyclopedic, just so we can get a feel for it. And decide if it's worth the money!

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!

Prediction 1 turned out to be unsurprisingly accurate - after missing out on a gorgeous Aria Pro II SBR-80 from Bass Direct, an almost-as-gorgeous post-Matsumoku SB-ELT (basically the same thing) turned up on Ebay for a lot less money. And yes, I was weak.

I missed my NYR target by one, then - sold a grand total of one bass this year!

In other gear-related news I did buy a new recording setup, finally upgrading from my ancient one-box Korg 16-track to a computer-based DAW - necessitating buying a dedicated PC, interface & MIDI keyboard. But that doesn't count, does it?

Next year's GAS pangs seem to be guitar-shaped, possibly involving an 80s Yamaha SG-1500 (green, if possible) and - for reasons I'm unclear about but might be related to midlife crisis - a Telecaster. Which will probably be a very cheap copy.
