mrtcat Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I went the other way. Sold tons of gear and haven't bought anything. Can't get excited about new kit without gigs to use it at. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfJames Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 Just to add, the ibanez I will pick up tmrw but was conscious that pro musicians not working are in a hard place. The guy is like me - not as nice obvs - simply playing for his own interest. I don't like to take advantage....one was sold on here in the last few days, was up for 550 which I believe is a good price. Have managed to get mine below 400 quid, which is fortunate. If I have to resell I will pass on that discount. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I'm now the lucky owner of a gorgeous Wal Mk3 5-string and a very nice '65 Fender Jazz. ...yeah right. In my dreams. My only purchases since March have been a few components for a J bass build and various electronic projects, and a Boss OC-2. I also bought @Zummerbass's lovely Carvin rig, but that was bought for a mate so it doesn't count. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuyR Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) I acquired a CS Jazz bass, Sei Jazz and a 65 Strat. CS moved on as the neck profile was too chunky, although the bass was otherwise magnificent Edited November 15, 2020 by GuyR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barking Spiders Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Covid's pretty much done for my GAS as the prospects of finding musically like-minded peeps and gigging ever again fade away. I've been looking what's in stock at Bass Direct, Anderton's etc but now the urges have gone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoham Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Just before lockdown, I had a Helix LT and Fender Jazz nicked. So I replaced those. Then I got the Jazz back, so I'm up one bass! Other than that, just some strings and stuff. Giving a lack of gigs and business travel, I find myself at home a lot more - so I've invested in upgrading my homebrew equipment. I can now pour a cold draught pint from my keg, in my office / studio / gym / bar / spare room. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I've managed to pick up a few bits....... Quilter BB800, G&L tribute JB, Epiphone Jack Casady, EHX Soul Food & TC Forcefield. I haven't shifted anything on yet, but will do some rejigging in the new year 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goonerjoe Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Sandberg California VS4... ordered in June as a lockdown/promotion at work present, due week 52 so i'm counting down the days. Ashdown Tone Pocket - great for rehearsal but battery life is shocking. Got my eye on a Berg Cn212 to replace the one i stupidly sold a few years ago... I hope the lockdown stops before I pull the trigger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VS4......a pal of mine has one and it sounds phenomenal (a lot down to his pro standard of playing) he says it is the best base he has ever played. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some folk are working but unable to spend ouwt as you can’t go out so have spending money. Then I know working musicians, and people around music and events and there’s literally no work on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwmlondon Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Um, I've bought and sold a BG Custom Jazz bass that had a Status neck and Bartolinis. Ended up selling it for parts - tried to get some issues sorted but it hadn't been put together right from the off so I scrapped it and made most of the money back. Since then I got a '93 MIJ Fender Jazz and I'm very happy with it. I've messed about with the pickups and the electronics and I'd like to change the bridge to one I've got somewhere but I'll have to take it to a luthier for that - not drilling holes in it myself...

By signing up to their site, they're offering the Vst 'Riot Drums' for $5, which I think is a very good deal, if Metal drumming is of interest.

Don't really need Riot Drums as I use Slate Drums 5.5 but some of their other offerings such as their IRs have appeal 🤔 Edited November 18, 2020 by DaytonaRik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
