JimBobTTD Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 (edited) It's the end of the year, give or take. Time to take stock! I am astounded - [i]astounded [/i]- at the mass of new toys I have. I can cite a new band (which then never got off the ground) as a reason, but still...it's not as if I didn't have anything at the start of the year! The good news is that due to the sheer amount of tidying up and flogging of stuff lying around (misc guitar parts, pickups, bodies etc), it hasn't set me back much. In fact, excluding the 2 Gibsons, everything else has pretty much balanced out at zero cost. Also, excluding the LTD, everything was secondhand.

Dr.Dave Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I tried to build myself an inexpensive killer Jazz by upgrading a Mex J I bought quite cheaply. I decided I didn't care for it so turned it into a fretless - still not happy (though I was happy tinkering). In the end I sold most of it , bought a 54P reish in Blue Flower and screwed on some of the upgrade bits bought for the Jazz. It's become my No1 bass practically overnight. More recently I bought a Fender Blues Jr amp as I'm keen to play guitar a bit more. That's it in the kit stakes , though keen to try the GK MB2 when it lands and maybe it'll replace my current GK400RB. Also keen to sell my Trace 1x15 combo and buy a smaller practise/small gig combo - probably another GK MB150 , had them before and I love them.

Clarky Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 (edited) Basses: Bought: Fender US P and J basses, Stagg EUB Sold: Rick 4001, Rick 4003, Gibson SG bass Gear: Bought: Markbass Jeff Berlin combo + Markbass 4x10, Sansamp VT Bass, Boss CS3 + Monte Allum, Epifani UL310 (for sale now) Sold: Markbass R500, Markbass 6x10, Tech 21 Landmark 300 head, Epifani UL115, Sansamp Programmable BDDI, Aphex Punch factory, Underwood DB p/up, DB combo, Fender 70RI P pickup Net outlay: roughly even on trading gear (although had initial outlay on Markbass R500/6x10 rig earlier in year) Main discoveries: I really love my Japanese Fender P (easiest bass I have ever played), even though my US P bass looks classier; gigging in London punk/rock circuit does not need a full scale rig (hence downsizing of Markbass rig); I am too much of an oaf to get much out of a compressor!

Bigwan Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Where to start... Gear In this year (and still here so far): Shuker Bolt On 6 - beautiful, built for me custom that I'm not able to play comfortably yet, but I'll persist. Lakland 55-01 NTMB - arrived on Christmas Eve so haven't really got any proper use out of it yet. The neck fits me like a glove though so it's looking good so far! Aguilar GS112 - great little cab. Want to get another of these and another Ashdown ABM (head this time I think) to complete a mini rig, although I'm tempted by Alex's Compact cab... Zoom B2 - not had much time to play with this little blighter yet, but it'll probably take care of all my effects needs since I don't use them that much. Westfield cheapo P - everybody says you have to have a P. After this years exploits I don't agree, but this cost £20 (and that's about as much as I'd want to have tied up in a P at the minute!). Gear in this year (but will be leaving the building soon): Bongo 5HH - nice but It's not staying. Once over the initial honeymoon I realised it was too ACTIVE for me and the string spacing is a little too tight. Monz has first dibs... Fender CIJ 70's reissue P - nice to play, but P's are definately not for me so it's going to Clarky when he gets back (unless his plans change). Status S2000 - Been through the wars this one. Still here but it's going on the block too. Just can't get used to the overall feel of it. Sounds GREAT though. SWR workingman's 12 - had one of these before and always wanted another, but it's not enough for me to gig with and I do most of my practicing at home through headphones so it'll be going too. Gear in this year, and back out again!: Lakland BG4 - you all know the one. Black with Villex pups and passive mid tone control added. Nice bass but not for me - I thought it was the maple board so I tried the P thing again with a CIJ Fender... I now know I don't like P's or maple boards... Fender Roscoe Beck 5 - really miss this bass, but the 55-01 is looking pretty good to mend my broken heart! MM Ray4 - I'm not a 'ray guy either, but had to try it to find out. Thunderfunk TFB550 - nice amp. Went on about these for ages after trying Flanker's old one in the Gallery a while ago, but it wasn't really for me in my own playing situation. Prefer my Ashdown. Gear out this year: Aguilar AG500 - I like Aguilar cabs, but not too fussed on their amps. My Ashdown works better for me. So what's that: Overall Basses +6 (but 3 leaving soon) -0 Amps/cabs +2 (1 leaving soon) -1 Effects +1 plus a lot of 'trying' done this year. Hoping 2009 will be more settled gear-wise!
