More to the point they're likely to be saying they don't need me if I take that along to gigs! Haha! Still, there's no ban on forming new bands as part of the gear abstinence challenge, is there? So that might be a good thing to do. A bit like a nicotine patch I guess. Quote
adamg67 Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 So, hopefully it's not too late to sign up for this, but I am definitely IN. I've got a custom body for my Baritone ordered and deposit paid last year, so that will be a nice thing when it arrives and it looks like that is within the rules, but I am not buying anything new in 2019. I've got more than enough gear, and really I need to sell of some bits and pieces that I'm not using as well. 1 Quote
FinnDave Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) I have bought absolutely nothing bass related this year at all! Is it too soon to celebrate? Edited January 1, 2019 by FinnDave 1 Quote

I can imagine it will get in the way when you decide to run around and trip over it lol. Comedy gold though :-). No ban on getting a new band.....I’d love one 😞 On the gear front, ive got no GAS at all for any music related gear at the moment. Edited January 1, 2019 by dave_bass5 1 Quote
Al Krow Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) I don't have currently gas at all either. I'm giving myself just nine days though... 😄 Edited January 1, 2019 by Al Krow Quote

I called Gear4Music to see if they would match on price and response was that there was "no wiggle room whatsoever". Let's see if Kytary prove to be a decent seller - anyone else used them? (I paid via PayPal just to protect myself just in case, excuse the pun)... Ok that's my Xmas pressie (hopefully!) sorted and I'm all good to go for Sibob's gear challenge 2019: bring it on! 😎 @Al Krow, how was your experience with Kytary in the end? I’m thinking of placing an order with them... Apologies for this post being wildly at odds with the purpose of the thread Quote
rollie 55 Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 i dont care im getting a 6 string fretless bass early 2019 thankyou Quote

Apologies for this post being wildly at odds with the purpose of the thread Kytary were fine - goods arrived on time and in good condition. They even responded by email when I pointed out that they had given DPD an incomplete address for me and got that sorted. 1 Quote
Sibob Posted January 1, 2019 Author Posted January 1, 2019 Didn’t buy anything today, so off to a strong start . I am somewhat shielded from it all by having a couple of pre-paid arrivals in Jan, so we’ll see how tough it gets in Feb lol. Si 1 1 Quote
NJE Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) This thread just got me thinking how long it had been since I bought any new gear, so I decided to delve into emails and photos to check. 2nd of March 2017 was the last time I bought anything, and that includes strings, cables, even spare batteries for basses and tuner. I’m stunned! that has to be a record for me, amazing how kids can distract you from this kind of nonsense. 😂 Edited January 2, 2019 by NJE 1 Quote

I'm sure plectrums falls under the "strings" exemption? Or under "educational"? 😄 Anyway ref. will be along soon to adjudicate... Quote

PM me her number and I'll happily arrange to take one or more Yammy BBs off your hands (maybe that 1100S - looked rather tasty!) And you can then be "back in the game"!!

Al Krow Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) ... btw Andy I hear that Fender P's are very helpful for dealing with "performance issues". Apparently ALL the pros use them! Edited January 2, 2019 by Al Krow 1 Quote
