Maude Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Two basses have already caught my eye, but I haven't made a move on either of them. Things are looking good. Although I have got nearly nine hours before 2022. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Don't think I'm going to buy anything else next year only stings and maybe plectrums My amp gas is sorted and I'm very happy with my gear Although if I manage to earn any money in 2022 which I've not done since covid kicked in I might treat myself to a les paul Jr bass 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Right. New amp bought 10.25am today. Buckle in. It’s going to be a frantic, short, and ultimately pathetic ride. (as I said to Mrs T last night:..) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machines Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I managed to order a new bass just before the cut off yesterday. I told my wife about this challenge and she laughed with much vigour. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Horse Murphy Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) So I had 2 basses and a guitar arrive in 31st, just in the nick of time to count as 2021 purchases. 2021 was a lost cause in terms of GAS so I figured sneaking a few more in wouldn't really matter. On the plus side, I also sold a bass the same day. I also paid for a bass from EBay on the 30th that's due to arrive early next week, but according to the rules that's all okay 😂 All in, I'm still down in terms of number of instruments and well up on the amount I recouped from selling vs. what I spent, which by some twisted logic makes me a good boy.

gapiro Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I’ll join. no new bass specific gear for me the only two thing that may cause a fail is if I save some money for some new IEMS (using the cheapo kZ ones atm ) Or an iem wireless pack (wedding stuff I’m always wired in iem) anything else I buy this year is gonna be replacements etc for the band. Nothing new and interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard R Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Last year's rules were anything in the signal chain, excluding consumables such as strings, and so excluded straps, gigbags etc. Not sure where non-bass purchases such as MIDI keyboards, or things like PA gear and IEM headphones sat. I don't intend to buy any basses this year, but could be tempted by some decent IEMs if I manage to play live more. Or a tenor-sized bass Uke like the one at the Midlands Bass Bash. Or a....? Count me in. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merton Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 @bassfan please add me in too. The bass I’m getting this year has already been fully paid for and I really don’t need to buy anything else so I should do my best to avoid spending money if I can. This can be my support group 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walshy Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Amazingly I was in until I bought that bloody Lull this morning 😂 Still I think 3 days is my record! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Horse Murphy Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 And to the victor goes the spoils.... If anyone from the list of runners compiled by Bassfan manages to get over the line on 1st Jan 2023 without buying anything new, I will give them a brand new unopened set of Rotosound nickel roundwounds by way of consolation prize. Now surely that's motivation enough to stay on the straight and narrow. I know, I know...you can thank me later 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
