Downunderwonder Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 There's parallel threads all over the place. We could roll them all under one giant NewGearDay thread but that wouldn't be much fun. How about "This year's 1st purchase of gear I don't really need"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downunderwonder Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 That would make this the registration thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigthumb Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I was hoping to to do this as I have 4 great basses and a first class amp/cab solution. But 5 days in and I've failed already. New (unnecessary) cab incoming 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_5 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) I had a tenor ukulele arrive today, but it was ordered (and more importantly, paid for) before the New Year, so I'm still in the running... Edited January 5 by paul_5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 I cleared out my eBay watch list today. Also turned off email notifications for saved searches. This clearly shows that I'm serious about this abstaining business 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I was intending to participate in the gear abstinance challenge this year after buying countless basses and guitars last year, however I've just returned home from picking up a lovely secondhand 'Worn Ebony' Epiphone Casino in mint condition at a bargain price. I'll try to abstain from buying any more this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re quite rare and it looked great. But I resisted, as I don’t need it.

Burns-bass Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 It’s a half hour drive and I’m not sure I can be bothered. Still tempted but it’s something I won’t use, so better let someone else have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
