msb Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 I can walk in a music shop and not see a thing I need , but when I spot a deal on kijiji I’m out the door cash in hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a definite step-up, although the main reason for getting it was to get rid of the cable. The Behringer wasn't bad, but there's deffo more clarity with the Shure. The ZS10 earphones seem to have the edge over the Shure ones, oddly enough, and they're much more secure. All in all, I'm very pleased with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merton Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 3 hours ago, neepheid said: Less than two months to go, who's still in? I failed months back. But I am now in a position of trying to consolidate a few things and not buy anything for 2023. Many people (for example @eude and @Quilly) have laughed at me about this proclamation. It’s probably true, if the Stoneham 100W project happens, but if it doesn’t, I am going to go the whole of 2023 without buying anything. Honest 😀 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass_dinger Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I am out - I needed an urgent spare bass, while my other one was being fixed. I now have two electric basses. I guess that is how it happens, with bass collections.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2pods Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 No, that's how it starts (say's he with 4 basses, thinks he requires a small scale, and no band ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozkerr Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I'm still technically in, in that I've not bought any contraband items between bass and amp and I've not bought any more basses. But I nearly let my mate persuade me to get a five-string Precision a couple of weeks ago! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only seven weeks to go, so I think I'm in with a chance. OTOH, said mate sent me some pics of his latest bass - a five-string Jazz. This after endless ribbing about Jaco only needing four strings, so I'm counting that as a solid win! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msb Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I haven’t brought a new bass home in just over a year! I did pick up a baritone guitar simply because my Bass VI was a whole lot of fun. Also picked up two more amps in the last year. And not seeing any immediate need in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grenadillabama Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I bought one Squier Mustang Bass because it was $400 cheaper than a Mustang PJ , sounded a little different, and had a stripe ! That is my excuse for 2022. I also slipped into buying a Guild acoustic gtr. Abstinance is a tough trail to take and stick to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeresaFR Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I started the year with two basses and I'm down to one. I would say "just", but Valkyrie is awesome. I have bought equipment but not directly bass gear and only due to needing it for recording purposes. Actually, I'm not sure those midi cables will be necessary now, but they could still be useful.

Quilly Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I failed miserably early on in the year with A Sandberg Basic 4, later I bought the TE Elf and eventually the 1*10 cab for it. On the other hand I sold an Ashdown CTM100, A Mayones Jabba4 and and a Schroeder 2*15 cab so I think I balanced the books...somewhat. I definitely intend no purchases in 2023.

ezbass Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 After falling from Grace earlier on in the year, I doubled down just recently with an, ahem, acoustic guitar (looks out of window for angry mob with sharp, farm implements and burning torches).

Velarian Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I started the year with the intention of not buying anything but didn’t make any overt commitment about that. 6 months later, I caved in and bought another bass. So it was a fail. However, I think I can now reasonably commit to abstaining in 2023. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I look forward to ‘taking the pledge’ for 2023 and failing magnificently again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJHW Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 my bookmark for getting to Basschat take me straight to the market place. hmmm this doesn't bode well for 2023 - maybe i should change that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Between now and the new year I'd better stock up on anything I might want, as I plan on kidding myself I can abstain from buying any new gear in 2023. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
