Quilly Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I’ve left the basschat marketplace . Probably was the best place to buy and sell gear but as I’m in Ireland it’s all gone very complicated dealing with UK folks . It’ll probably sort itself out , on the plus side it stops me buying stuff 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard R Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I'm out! I thought I would be in for ages, especially as my budget wasn't really as high as I'd suggested here (maybe by the end of the year it would have been) but in a stroke of good fortune I've just bought a bass I've been looking for for ages. NBD - Brawley 5 string at last :-) - Bass Guitars - Basschat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's exactly the same make/model. So that sounds like it's OK then? Phew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acquiring one as a back up to original which is the only other scenario I can think of... That wouldn't be allowed surely... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I’ve utterly failed in this challenge. However I haven’t purchased a bass in March... yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I could be properly done for if a nice Zon Sonus 4 appears. Regretting not buying the one I played last year. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard R Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I'm out anyway, but I wonder if there should be an exemption for these: @bassfan to adjudicate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamg67 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Ah, damn. I'm out. Just made a deal to part ex my Stringray 5HH stealth black for a Sandberg Forty Eight. I've been wanting one for ages, and even though it's one bass in and one out I'm still having to spend money. I can resisit pedals, happy with my amp and cab, but I couldn't resist that Forty Eight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLowDown Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I don't need any more basses. I have 2 six strings (fretted and fretless), 1 five string fretted, now 4 four strings (1 fretted, 1 fretless, 1 long in the tooth and the other, a boat anchor to be sold after covid). I may buy an inexpensive HB or Gear4Music short scale for experimental purposes sometime. Other than that, no potential GAS. There could still be some purchases on the horizon, such as some recording equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 4 string fretless and a 6 string fretless, so a 5 string fretless is a waste because it adds nothing of value. I can't think of even one situation where I would ever need to choose a 5 string fretless above a 4 or 6 string.
