I have an odd hankering for a massive cab for my new rock band but since it’s not really that active it’s an entirely purposeless case of GAS. Apart from the three (ooops) basses commissioned last year which are still ongoing I really shouldn’t be needing anything this year at all and there’s no excuse for me falling off the wagon.

Merton Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 Ok not that massive. 4x10. And Andy, I no longer have the Elf, as it became an unviable option anyways 🤣 1 Quote

Just sold a MB410 which I'm going to need to arrange to courier to NI. I'm really hoping that you would have been very uninterested in that 'cos Surrey would be a darned sight easier to have met up half way! 1 Quote

joeystrange Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 Just picked up a Fender 6x10. Bought a new Big Muff, too, after mine failed a couple of weeks ago. A resounding fail for me. Although I did last one entire month! 1 Quote

Oh dear...I seem to have side tracked another thread which is about avoiding gear with a sales pitch for Vanderkley. Lol! Ok to make amends and get things back on track: I've only bought two used pedals so far this year (at the start of Jan) and both were Bassfan's fault. Edited February 23, 2019 by Al Krow 1 Quote

Neither. For some reason I want an old heavy Ashdown ABM cab; they sound amazing but are hugely impractical for the music I’m playing. Honestly no idea what goes on in my brain half the time. 1 Quote

Every time my brain comes up that sort of idea, I remind it about venues like Hebden Bridge Trades Club and the outdoor iron stairs all the gear gets carried up (and down). My brain goes back to thinking happy thoughts about Barefaced cabs then. 2 Quote

It seems to me that the parts of your brain need to sit down and have a good old chin wag with each other. Open and honest communication and all that... Quote

ezbass Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Another month done and still no gear for either tier one or two. However, once the Geddy Lee pedal becomes available at my local Guitar Guitar, I may fall off the wagon. Quote
