Merton Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 I’ve just emailed COG about a custom pedal I kinda need*. Depending on their response I may be out 😂 * need might be pushing it. Want, definitely. Quote

Surprised you didn't "accidentally" order a custom bass, or is this pedal malarkey just a ruse to disguise some such sinister sneaky sequestration?! 1 Quote
lozkerr Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 Looks like I'll be out by tomorrow. My pedal board currently lives in a roadie-proof flight case and it weighs a ton. I decided tonight that my power-lifting days are over and I need to put my pedals on something lighter before tomorrow's rehearsal. So if Scayles or Guitar Guitar have a board that isn't cast from depleted uranium, that'll be me. At least I won't have been the first 😊 Quote

I've just downsized my pedalboard to Pedaltrain Nano... couldn't find one smaller. Bought in January 2020... so I'm busted. No place for me here! 1 Quote

Kinda feels like it's entirely in the spirit of not getting more gear. Costs no more than a decent set of strings (which are defo allowed) and it's not exactly a swanky Sandberg is it?! Any leniency here refs? Edited January 29, 2020 by Al Krow Quote

dave_bass5 Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) This shows how much willpower i lack. A month ago the MB 800 (middle one) was my only GK head, and in less than 4 weeks the GK’s grew to 3 🙂 Edited February 1, 2020 by dave_bass5 1 Quote
kodiakblair Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 Buying a Westone Thunder III couple of weeks back was my sole 2020 purchase 🙂 That was until I heard Mr Konig decided to sell his Renegade 🙈🙉🙊 My renowned Iron Will crumbled after 5 minutes 😁 2 1 Quote

If one of the basses I have up for grabs sells, I’ll be making an order as soon as the money comes in - if the bass I’m looking at now is still available that is. I could just buy it now, but I’m quite determined to do it the other way around this time. Basses seem to be our collective downfall, don't they? I've just had a narrow escape...bass I had my eye on had < 16.5mm string spacing. Phew, still on the GAW. Other than GK amps ( of course), apparently very hard to resist. Once you've got one, you're bound to get 3 or 4 from what I can tell. ...or pedals that duplicate stuff that an HX Effects does really well, for the particularly weak willed. Still 33 days in, and provided my cheeky offer doesn't get accepted on eBay for a piece of kit I've been thinking about getting on and off for a couple of years, I should be good to go for another day or two 😁 2 Quote

jimmyb625 Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 The Shuker PJ recently listed in the for sale section is definitely trying my resolve. If I had money, I'd be in real trouble... Quote
Al Krow Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 So this weekend I've had a narrow escape with a bass whilst running about like a headless chicken looking into it. Beaten by a buddy to a drum pedal and somehow managed to turn on a sixpence to just avoid getting another cab. Dave's already bought out the stock of most UK retailers' GK amps, so at least I'm safe on that score. 1 Quote
