Sibob Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) 27 minutes ago, Cuzzie said: Exactly! Need: strings are dead - need a new set Tone pot on bass becomes crackly and needs replacement aside from cleaning. Amp blows up - need another Realise that compression is key to bass - get one and learn how to use it Top 3 I agree with, and are allowed within the rules. Last 1 is not a ‘need’ in my eyes, it’s a nice to have (in some cases), definitely not key to bass (but that’s another thread). Not having a compressor pedal doesn’t stop you doing a gig, or learning to be a better player. You can learn about compression without buying a pedal for your bass. Only take part in the tier 1 challenge and download a compressor vst (although most DAWs have them included), record your bass, learn how to use compression. Then in 2020, you’ll be set to include it in your gig rig Si Edited December 22, 2018 by Sibob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauzero Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I'm either going to be up for this or the first to break it - found the bass I was after, in Italy, and due to both the seller and me being busy over Christmas, we've agreed to do it all post-Christmas.

Haha - me too! I'm absolutely certain I'm going to spot a great bit of kit at a good price and be unable to stick to the programme. Makes me think "1in 1out" is going to be the right balance of discipline and fun for me. Managed to stick to it with that for larger items this year (basses, amps and cabs) just need to do the same with pedals 😂. However with the Helix Stomp on the scene, there should be a number dedicated pedals that have had their day on the Krow board... So with a very light heart I think I'll leave my better hair-shirt BC'ers to their GAS free 2019 and wish you guys well in your endeavour. As a non smoker I think I've finally worked out what giving up smoking feels like! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiliwailer Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 No new bits to speak of, but today I took out a bass that I’m meant to be selling, and well, now I’d quite like to keep it. My finances won’t be happy, but my heart is ruling right now. Luckily, I don’t think that counts so I’m still in for a purchase free 2019.

I’ve a surplus Precision at present that is not needed, won’t be used in my band, won’t be recorded with, but I just like it. If I need funds I’ll offload but going to try and keep it if possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorturedSaints Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I'm in. Tier 1 and Tier 2. No bass related stuff for Christmas (that's a first) - but then, I don't play in a band anymore. I don't need any more music production software as I haven't done any recording for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyJ Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I'm going to keep an eye on this, I'm really curious to see if I can keep this up. Coincidentally, I've been telling my girlfriend how happy I am with my current gear so I bet she's expecting me to 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolverinebass Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Yeah, sign me up for this. As it includes strings and anything like drum heads I need for my studio I should be fine. I'm certainly not going to be buying amps or pedals anytime soon. Definitely not basses as I have more than enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
