I have good intentions...

I think that's where I'm falling down...the good intentions bit! As soon as a used Zoom B6 for a decent price comes onto the market I'll be onto it. As of now I'm technically back in with zero expenditure on new gear this year (following a return and full refund). So I guess I'm not really looking to abstain, just abstaining until the right opportunity comes along.

 

A Peavey Cirrus would be very nice...but you may be safe for a while though, they don't seem to come up too often.

A couple. Not enough to fund any toys though. :(

 

It does seem a bit hit and miss. My Local was struggling to find bands to play (and not much in the way of responses to ads put up on their behalf).

I just sold a bass so surely that gives me a free pass 😬

Nothing is free here…. Especially passes! 😂

 

If that was the case I’d still be in as my dogs love it when I play through an envelope filter so I bought one for them and not me 😂

It is a bit like a AA meeting where the guys who have fallen of the program still go to the meeting- and show off their bottles of whisky or something 

If that’s the case, I’ve so many bottles right now 😂

I like your thinking. I have one new bass coming in today but at the same time I am also selling four. So, does that not mean that I am now at -3 and that I can still buy three more basses and still end the year on 0? That's how it works, right? I will talk to my wife and test this hypothesis 😎

Rumour has it, you've been going to the dogs for a while now.

<Sigh!>  Does anyone understand the rules of this challenge?

 

Actually of course everyone does, but part of the fun is trying to wriggle round these rules 😁. I'm eying a pedal, and trying to figure out how to claim it's not in the signal path...  🙄

 

What did you sell @Quilly?

Yeah @Sibobwrote the rules and I've summarised them several times.

 

Which, of course, means everyone else has to follow them while we two go off and party.

I’m still in, even though I picked up a yamaha today.

 

It’s Ella’s first bass!

 

”dad I want a bass, I want a yamaha, I have £120”

 

Fun fact - I joined Basschat the day she was born.

She says the bb is too wide - the sabre is “too posh”.

 

this RBX is clean, really tidy. And about 7.5/8lbs.

 

Also…£75.

 

Mental.

Ok so, if I receive a bass before end of January and adopt the Chinese New Year, am I back in? Should arrive next week. 
Alternatively I could adopt the fiscal year, so I’ve got till end of March. 


I think I’m getting the hang of this. 
👍🏻🥳

Now, where can I buy a Dreidel....
