Rays with flats are great. There's a story there and if I'd actually checked the weight properly I wouldn't have. It was so shiny though.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_gordon Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I have good intentions... But if anyone sells a Peavey Cirrus in wenge I'll pay for too much. Other than that my only planned order for 2022 is another pack of dunlop 3mm big stubbies cos I lose them, but I don't think that counts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 hours ago, Rich said: 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).

Quilly Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) I just sold a bass so surely that gives me a free pass 😬 Edited January 22, 2022 by Quilly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard R Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 <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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 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 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which, of course, means everyone else has to follow them while we two go off and party. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauzero Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I'm in until somebody sells an Ibanez SRF705 (or exchanges it for a Cort GB4). Hmm, really should get round to posting in the marketplace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldslapper Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 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. 👍🏻🥳 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
