Bought one bass and sold seven so far, which brings me to -6. Who can beat that? Exactly, no one, WINNING 😁 Sold a few bits and bobs…no basses…an amp, effects….and yeah.

A takeaway is cheaper to get in than a bass player for the night. That faultless logic should guide you down the righteous path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I'll make the year by any means but it's good to be able to hold back for once. If any of the 'always wanted' basses come up at the right price, I'm out. I'm looking at you Yamaha RBX6JM. So after several years i've looking and just missing out, this is exactly what has happened. I was browsing eBay new listings Friday PM, scroll scroll boring boring.... scroll..... OMG 🥴 Contacted the seller and we made a good deal, i'm very happy with the price. The irony is that not a a couple of hours earlier i'd broke my challenge accidentally winning a local Vintage VJ74 on eBay, which I had no intention of winning but put in such a low price I wasn't worried, yet it's here now. It's actually pretty decent, not sure what i'm going to do with it yet, though. The Myung is expected Tue/Wed.

hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Two months gone and I'm still in. I'm bracing myself for failure at a moments notice though 😂 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyb625 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I'm out! I honestly thought I could make it, as I haven't seen anything for a long time that caught my eye. Then Origin Effects brought out the BassRig and it was only a matter of time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 So close to 3 months, ahh well. I'm still in. Been laid low with COVID but got back to band rehearsals this week and took my JC (thinking I might get tired so take the lightest bass I own). And I fell in love with it all over again. I'm confident I can make it a little longer, even with the cooncil's "gift" of £150 off the council tax next month... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Out as of Monday last week, I found an SRF705 with my name on it. Well, not literally, that would have been a bit spooky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudpup Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Dammit, I'm out. I was super confident this year that i would make it to the finish line as well 😡 I sold my Handbox a few weeks ago and there was a little envelope of cash sitting in the toy fund. I put it in the draw to try and forget about it and was doing well until @40hz listed probably the only amp that had a chance of knocking me off the wagon. He's a great guy that I had dealt with before and the amp was at a great price. My resolve failed miserably and within 24 hrs I had grabbed it and gigged it. It's bloody brilliant..... See you all in 2023! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
