I am trading basses - Dean Pace 5 for an acoustic.  Straight swap, no money changing hands.  Does that mean I am still in or out now?

In an attempt to boost the rapidly dwindling number still qualifying for this project. . . .  I'd suggest that if we buy 1 thing it can be offset by selling  2 things.

Might still be in then.  Traded one bass, sold another and I sold an amp.  3 out, one in?

Cheers Chris, I'm going to buy a swanky new £2k bass and sell a couple of small pedals for £25 to £35 apiece. Job done and back in the game! 😂

I can see your GAS has brought you to the "bargaining" stage of grief.

I've bought nothing, and since I don't play professionally any more I have no plans to buy anything. In fact there's every chance that I might sell something.

I'm gonna walk this. 😎

Not gloating, you understand...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

..but I am. :sun_bespectacled:

 

p.s. I hope there's no time limit on entries for this one. I have been lurking the thread from time to time if that helps. :/

It's ok Paul, we will all still love you as a human being. You don't need to feel crushed by this one failure.

But I feel I have let myself down - a moment of weakness.  But, more importantly, I have let the forum down.😭

I thought you already had a back up Para Driver? 😄

I'm rebooting the challenge for myself.

I fell off the Wagon twice in Jan, but I keep telling myself the deals were too good to pass on.

From this point forward I shall be nothing but disciplined (excluding a possible custom build bass for my 40th, but that's a gift and already declared OK in the rules).

I do, but my one I use is V2 and the original backup is V1, I scored another V2 to keep OC/DC happy.

My wife doesn't rate my chances much. Thanks for the support hun 🙄

Given what's happened here in the last few weeks I doubt she's alone. 9_9

ETA: Having said I'll walk this challenge I've noticed my old Shuker Jazz 5 up for sale in the lefties thread. Hmmm...
