bazzbass Posted December 26, 2020 Posted December 26, 2020 Worst : Snark Supertight clipon tuner ,from the instructions "do not use on guitars with Nitro or Poly finishes"....ummmmm apart from oiled or stained finishes,what else is there? Piece of crap, not very fast,or accurate, junk. Best :HX Stomp........when I get up the courage to turn it on and learn how to use it lol 1 Quote
stewblack Posted December 26, 2020 Posted December 26, 2020 I am embarrassed to admit that I can't remember all I've bought during the lockdown. Swimming against the prevailing tide, I actually started a job (only part time) for health reasons I've been unable to work for a while. Having a modest but regular income proved to be too much for me. Also I have become horribly pedal addicted, so easy to store and so much fun to play with. Just scored a triple decker tone trunk for a very reasonable sum. Now of course I have to fill it. 2 Quote
MoonBassAlpha Posted December 26, 2020 Posted December 26, 2020 (edited) I finally caved in to my shortscale curiosity. I'd had a Bronco staying with me for a week and couldn't put it down, so I went for a limited edition Mustang PJ from @jezzaboy of this very parish. I absolutely love an ebony fingerboard! Other purchases have been the ubiquitous BC straplocks (a bit too tight for my taste tbh ) and 48 bottles of Coral beer, from Madeira, as it reminds me of my holidays there most years!

bnt Posted January 15, 2021 Posted January 15, 2021 On 25/12/2020 at 14:40, bnt said: A Harley Benton bass back in April, a guitar a couple of months ago, and just today I finally placed an order I've been meaning to place for months now: a proper pedalboard, a few more pedals, and some strings & bits, all from Gear4Music. Funding courtesy of a gift debit card from my employer, which has been really nice to have. Insert "record scratch" sound effect here: the order was dispatched, they say, but returned by the courier and I was refunded. Thanks to the timing - after Christmas - it ran head-first in to Brexit-related covfefe and the courier company said "we can't even". Which is probably a good thing, since I've seen some new product releases and am having a rethink. I saw the thread about the Hotone Stomp, and if that can handle a dual output "Rick-O-Sound" bass, then I may be up for that. To Be Continued ... Quote
ProfJames Posted January 16, 2021 Author Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) I have this new addiction to headless basses. Just pulled the trigger on this Yamaha BX1 from the States. Not many around.............. Edited January 16, 2021 by ProfJames 2 Quote

ProfJames Posted February 4, 2021 Author Posted February 4, 2021 The BX1 has arrived, two weeks from Virginia dealer very impressed. Next.....may have to look for a Victory Artist. Had one, liked it, had to sell it...........now want another................orsomething unusual...........those Kiesels look very nice. Also got a couple on the backburner............. Quote
ProfJames Posted February 22, 2021 Author Posted February 22, 2021 Should nip out this weekend to pick up another lockdown purchase. Photos when transaction is done (my own ones this time not Flat Eric's!) ................. anyone else crept in with a bass or two recently? April 12th is deadline I believe? Quote
ezbass Posted February 22, 2021 Posted February 22, 2021 Waiting for one to land tomorrow. It was ordered for next day delivery for Saturday, but Tuesday seems to be when DPD want to deliver it (premium delivery cost refunded by the seller). 1 Quote

Bergantino NXT212 Auralex Gramma Pad MXR Bass Octave Deluxe Boss OC-5 Minotaur strap Strings Still tempted to buy stuff all of the time but I'm hoping to hold out until I start gigging again. Hopefully early next summer. 😎 Lockdown 3 edit........plus.... a Stingray Special 4HH, a Sennheiser XSW-D wireless system (pedalboard version), a Cioks DC7 power supply. a Pedaltrain Classic Jr a MXR Phase 90 I'm glad Boris has signalled a path out of lockdown because this lockdown GAS is getting pretty expensive.😂 Edited March 11, 2021 by gazhowe 1 Quote

Mikey D Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) Likely my last lockdown purchase arrived (although a short scale EHB Ibanez has been calling...) Aguilar SL112 and SL212 in Poseidon Green. Edited February 25, 2021 by Mikey D 5 Quote
Dan Dare Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 I'm trying very hard not to buy stuff. It's so tempting because there are some real bargains about as people get rid of things to try to generate a bit of ready cash. So far, I've managed to resist, but I may still weaken. 2 Quote
ProfJames Posted February 27, 2021 Author Posted February 27, 2021 (edited) Had to ni out for another Shuker (and a BB1100s.....but for a pal) from @Booga13......what a top guy and what a collection of basses...........tried to invite myself to breakfast or brunch but never worked! Top man, great guy to buy from and his new reliced Limelight hand made looks stunning. Got Shuker GAS............been playing my headless Shuker and thinking about this RD style one since December, I have the backbone of an invertibrate.......the tone clarity and response from this is immense, very very pleased...........difficulty uploading a photo so just search for SHuker RD syle on here.........

daz70 Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 I pulled the trigger on a Dingwall D-roc Standard 5 string last June ( to celebrate a milestone birthday ). It's due this month hopefully. Looking forward to my first foray into fan-fret basses. 1 Quote

kwmlondon Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 I've been spending quite a bit on tuition, that's been brilliant. I'm really pleased to have been helping support musicians while working on my theory and technique, it's also been really great talking music and bass with people who know and care! 1 Quote
JapanAxe Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 Sold an amp to buy a different amp - one in and one out on the same day, by way of a road trip between lockdowns last year. 1 Quote
