A swanky effects pedal of some description? Four hundred square 9v batteries from the pound shop? £400 in cash? Got my ultimate strap.. Effects pedal is a def possibility but it’s an area with quite a bit of choice.....! I’m more likely to go with 400 AAA batteries for the b#*%+}^% wireless Extract actual cash from the missus rather than something she has to spend about 6 hours wrapping? Are you mad?!

Hellzero Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Loads of strings, that's always useful. A new little portable bass combo like those wonderful GSS 06B400. A Tech 21 Q/Strip pedal preamp for that Shuker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely will be for ACG fretless 5. I probably do need another preamp DI pedal tho. I’ve not bought one for about 4 months.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Lots of entry model basses for that money. I'd look for a Revelation/ Sire Marcus Miller/ Korean thru neck Spector personally....or see how much Jabba would charge for one of his dinky short scale creations.. Of course I hear there is a very nice Yamaha available within your budget from a well respected, long standing BC member.😏😏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something a bit wacky. Criteria would be: - Not white - Not Made in Taiwan - Not have “BB” in the title - Not be made by a manufacturer whose name starts with a “Y” 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronJ Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 For the budget you speak of, two things spring to mind for me. 1. HX Stomp. Full of guitar and bass amps for you to tweak to your heart’s content. 2. Phil Jones Double Four, so you can play literally anywhere and get a bloody good sound doing it.

Bridgehouse Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 Mrs B is most disappointed - the suggestions have dried up, and she was convinced you’d all be well over enthusiastic in trying to spend someone else’s money!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different strings to experiment with your sound. My band just asked what I want for my birthday next week and I went for a set of 5 D'Addario black tape-wounds for my acoustic. I'd put chrome or nickel flats on my 5 and probably also my 6 if I could afford them. For a really portable combo I'd love a Markbass Micro 801. Do you ever play with a pick? There's some serious fun and luxury to be had from Timbertones. If I had stupid money I'd have a few of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staggering on Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Go in a different direction.Put the money into a hire/rent/lease arrangement for a decent double bass and some lessons.You will have a lot of fun and will be a few steps along the winding path that leads to the dark side! 😊 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
