NancyJohnson Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I need a John East Uni-Pre5 for a project, but that's about it. I spent too much this year, way too much. We all know how this goes though. I might say I only need the East, but if, well, you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I plan on (yes I know ....) reducing my electric bass collection to 2 (from 4) and my EUB/upright collection to 2 (from 3) so I guess that means I have reverse GAS (is that vacuum?). That said, I am likely to move on my nearly-new R*ck 4003 and replace with a nice old (or old-looking) Precision. So my GAS is for a nice P bass to add to my phenomenal 1983 Fullerton '62 Jazz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machines Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Despite some serious browsing, I can't find anything I really want that doesn't somehow duplicate what I have already. I'll definitely be buying less than 2020 (12 basses, 2 full rigs). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, something musicman shaped will come up to tempt you and I give you until March for you to have a new amp 😂 I have a few bits I'd be tempted by should they come up........ I regret selling my Epiphone thunderbird classic pro, the pups in them are great and the neck is nice and thin. If I could get my mitts back on it I'd be happy. I'm not sure on how sold I am on my Precision. It's one of the nicest P basses I've played, but I think the way it widens out around the 12th fret is what I don't like about it. I'm not up the dusty end much, but playing something like Lost Woman by the Yardbirds is where I really notice it. If I were to replace it, I think a JMJ Mustang or maybe a limelight p with a j neck would be nice. And maybe a small 1x 10 or 12 cab....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old 2 band Stingray had a fabulous neck. But a G+L L2000 with a wider flat neck would be the only real bait and they don't exist generally. And the only potential amp would be a second Mesa BB750 as a backup. But again, pretty rare stuff - there's a couple around but they're crazy expensive. And my other amps are fine tbh.

ezbass Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I’m in the mood to acquire a Squier CV 60s P and upgrade the buggery out of it, just for the doing of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheap ones are much more satisfying. And you never lose much on them if you sell them. Ask me how I know 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That just happened to be my last acquisition of 2021 a couple of weeks ago. Not sure why I got it but I guess I was just satisfying curiosity and to beat my self-imposed anti-GAS embargo for next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs contouring (so no pre-EB, Classic or Old Smoothie slab body). I know they exist but there aren't probably that many floating around. The photo shows a classic, so it is almost what I want (but lacks the contouring). You honestly don't miss the lack of contour, I didn't on my classic anyways..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, for a short time I owned a 2006 EBMM SUB, the US made no-frills Stingray. It had a slab body, like the Classic, and it just did not work for me. Real shame. Great bass but not for me. Well, someone else will hopefully love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want a US Sterling maybe this year. Sold the classic, kept my Ray34 for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
