bassbiscuits Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Failed spectacularly, having bought a Cali76, Protection Racket case, a new acoustic guitar, and bought and sold a Yamaha five string bass. Also sold my Genz Benz 2x12 cab and a fender valve amp that was gathering dust so I’m going in the right direction overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 (edited) Oh no. One last dance with danger. Trip to Glasgow, 28th December. I could stay out of Guitar Guitar, but what fun would that be? Edited December 26, 2022 by neepheid 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveXFR Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 I failed. I had perfectly decent gear at the start of the year. Everything I needed but I still bought two Fender P basses and a Darkglass vintage overdrive. I did sell a Sterling Ray34 and Epiphone Thunderbird vintage pro. I regret selling the Thunderbird, it sounded amazing. Its with the current Hawkwind bassist now so I'm sure I'll see it played properly at some point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldon Tyrell Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 I bought 6 basses and sold 11. So, I am ending the year at -5 basses. I guess that makes me the winner 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 I've got some lovely gear now and fully intend to finish off my long term projects next year. I'll be buying some bits and pieces to finish the projects but apart from that I'll be selling rather than buying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeresaFR Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 I don't think I bought anything bass related this year, though I did sell a couple of pedals and a bass. I am hoping to buy another bass early in 2023 though and some heavier gauge strings so I can tune it to D standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lasted 3 months until I saw a Yamaha RBX6JM I'd wanted years. It was downhill from there. I'm not even bothering for signing up for 2023 I'm an addict and I don't care. Total for 2022 was 16 basses 🥲. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I placed an order on 2 March 2022 and still have no reasonable hope of even perhaps receiving it until I'm within spitting distance of the first anniversary. And since I paid for it in full in August, the temptation of foolishly spending my money elsewhere has not had the chance of even presenting itself. All in all, very satisfactory 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msb Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 There was a Monique preamp in the TalkBass Classifieds last night. First reply was within five minutes of the original post. Sold. I probably would have gone for it providing the seller would do Canada. Perhaps 23 will be the year for Monique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
