Expand Yeah 'consumables' eg strings, picks, vocalists etc are fine as are any repairs eg necks, drum skins, or I guess even a replacement bass for the one you trash when the vocalist walks out, are all allowed in the 'Book of Sibob'. 1 Quote

Al Krow Posted December 1, 2019 Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) This is gonna be such a breeze! Just doing a search on kettle leads right now (I've so far managed to get a replacement bass before I've needed to replace the strings so not really familiar with all that technical stuff) ... 😄 Edited December 1, 2019 by Al Krow Quote

Si600 Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) I don't *intend* to buy anything this year, my GAS is currently satiated. I do intend to sell a 2x12 and a PA in 2020 though. But then, I didn't *intend* to buy anything in 2019 either and I've ended the year with a BF Super Twin that I didn't have at the beginning of the year. Edited December 2, 2019 by Si600 Quote

ead Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) I feel we need an evaluation of the contenders for 2019. Did anybody 'win'? I'd love to participate in 2020 and will give it a good gp whilst secretly knowing I'll fail miserably . Are organisations in place to offer support (apart from the For Sale section)?

FinnDave Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 I was doing alright for the first half of the year, then bought a Super Compact to replace the one I sold a few months earlier! I also bought a Jazz bass a month or two ago, again to replace one I sold earlier in the year. I really should think before selling things! I'll have another attempt to retain myself in 2020. Quote

If you have some spare cash burning a hole in your pocket, then I'd be delighted to introduce you to a pedal or two also currently feeling a bit spare on my board. (Obviously please check any purchases with your accountant, first - I just hope he knows his Paradriver from his back seat driver). Quote
bassbiscuits Posted December 5, 2019 Posted December 5, 2019 Count me in for 2020. Got nowt planned. This year I've only bought replacement bits, strings etc and a bass for my son, so I may well still be on track in the 2019 challenge! 1 Quote
