Al Krow Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Just wondering if I get a couple of pedals as Christmas and milestone prezzies to myself now, with an ulterior motive of having a clear run at bassfan's gear abstinence next year, whether that will actually mean I am already out before I am even in? 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) A set of strings, that's it, which doesn't even count as gear tbh Edited December 10, 2021 by Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Horse Murphy Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I don't know where to start. It's been quite a year for purchases....the only consolation is what I've bought has been considerably less in terms of value than what I've sold and on the whole I'm actually down 5 instruments than when we started the year. That makes me a good boy, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baxlin Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Am I still in? I bought a pair of strap lock buttons for my practice bass, so I could use my favourite strap on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I could not have done this gear abstinence without my family, my car, the rising cost of petrol, and of course my mortgage. All were there for me, every time I considered some new gear. An Oscar-worthy acceptance speech. However the competition isn't over yet- we may find someone who only bought a set of new strings despite marrying an heiress and winning the lottery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilly Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) Right ! 2022, I’m not going to commit to no purchases but I really need to exercise the one-in , one-out rule. I hate having good gear not being used 🤔 Edited December 20, 2021 by Quilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate having good gear not being used 🤔 Speaking of both guitar gear and good gear not being used, I was rummaging in an old storage cupboard today and was very pleasant surprised to find an old Zoom guitar multifx (their "2020" model) and wah pedal, which must have been in storage for a quarter of a century, when "life" got in the way of my making music and subsequently during my bass playing years. I found a 1994 review of the model online and it seems it was the Helix Stomp of its day. So I guess my current fad with Zoom B1-4s shouldn't come as any particular shock - clearly Zoom multis have been in my blood for longer than I realised! I'm generally with you in not holding onto gear that's not likely to be getting any use. But as this is the second oldest piece of kit I've got in terms of length of ownership, I think I'll be holding on to it for a while longer as a momento of music made in times' past.
