Deep Thought Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I didn't think I had bought much, but on reflection, there was an Ibanez GB200, which didn't last long and was traded back for a Hartke Transporter 4x10 cab (which has done sterling service), a Zoom H4 which has come in very handy, and my MIM Precision (from Platypus) which has turned out to be a cracker.

urb Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Jeeeez guys, I think some of you are a little TOO addicted to the old multi bass swap a rama... anyway I'm not exactly GAS free this year so here goes: IN: Series 1 Single Cut Sei Bass Epifani UL210 Boss RC2 Looper EBS Wah One pedal Deposit paid on Sei Jazz 4 string bass Studio stuff IN: 1 pair of KRK Rokit 6s Logic Pro BFD2 Sennheiser Mic (can't remember the exact model but it's very good) 24" Intel Mac OUT: 1990 Warwick Thumb Original EBS Proline 15" ...it's been a good year for work and the extra freelance gigs I've had have helped me get my setup I've been aiming for many years, but I'm done now till the Sei Jazz arrives.

bassbloke Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Very tame I'm afraid. Fender Highway 1 P bass that I bought specifically to trade for a Fender HM5 bass off Burpster. Decided I couldn't get on with the tone and narrow spacing so I flogged it on ebay and put the dosh towards towards a Fender MIA Deluxe P (4 string).

silverfoxnik Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 [quote name='JimBobTTD' post='364652' date='Dec 28 2008, 10:37 AM']It's the end of the year, give or take. Time to take stock! Go on, folks. What did you get up to during the year?[/quote] That's a very good question!! Well, having a think it looks like this for the year, give or take a few bits or pieces: Basses in: Fender Jazz V Deluxe, Status Groove V, Aria Fretless, Axl fretless. Basses out: Lakland DJ5, Status Groove V, Aria Fretless, Axl fretless, Fender P-Bass copy, Extreme Jazz Bass copy Amps in: Peavey T-Max, Eden Nemesis NA650, Carlsbro Power Amp Amps out: GK 700RB, Peavey T-Max, Carlsbro Power Amp Cabs in: SWR Triad, SWR Goliath Jnr II Cabs out: Peavey 410 TVX, SWR Goliath Jnr II FX in: Nomad Bassman, Radial Big Shot I/O Misc in: OBBM cables, Fender Tweed Case, 4U Rack case Overall, it's been a year of more stuff going out than coming in and I'm happier that way as I'm slowly paring my gear down to suff I really like and stuff I really need and/or use. I have experimented with playing fretless this year and didn't get very far, mainly because I didn't give it the time it requires. And I also experimented with amps that have a valve and solid state pre-amp stage, but have gone back to solid-state amps and am quite happy with that (though I could be persuaded otherwise I expect...). Hopefully next year will be a similar trend with much less coming in, though I would like another 210 cab I think. No doubt there'll be a least one major GAS attack during the year but some electric-shock therapy should sort that out! Happy New Year folks!

[/quote] Not enough time (or room) for my gear action I'm afraid, but a brief overview suggests: More kit in than out More fretless than fretted action, although I'm still crap at fretless. Then again, I'm crap at fretted. Valves have crept in, albeit in the sanitised form of Markbass. 1x15 has moved to 6x10. Looks impressive and scares other band members. Sounds pretty much the same as 1x15. Bought the bass I'd always wanted (pre EB ray) and am now selling it. Not for the first time. Or the last time. Got ripped off twice but also met some great BC people (too many to name). Thanks to you all. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinman Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Quite sparse compared with some here: IN: Built a BFM Omni 10 - love it if a little bulky - should have built 2 * 10.5 but hey-ho. H & K Bassbase 250 head. Wizard 84s, Baddass II, S1 switch and tort scratchplate for my MIM Jazz. Ibanez Jet King bass. Built 2 * BFM T39 subs for the band PA. Studiomaster 700D power amp for the above. Behringer crossover for the PA. OUT: Ashdown 1 * 15 cab. Pending: Building 2 * BFM DR200 for the PA.
