cetera Posted December 2 Posted December 2 (edited) So, finances allowing..... in 2025 what bits of gear are on your GAS wish list? Me? I'd like: Epiphone Grabber (if/when they drop to a sensible price) - not sure on natural or black though.... Epiphone G3 (possibly......dependent on price when they're finally released) Squier 40th Anniversary P bass (black and gold with block inlays) LFSys Monaco 1x12 cab Edited December 3 by cetera additional GAS item 2 Quote
ezbass Posted December 2 Posted December 2 I can’t help thinking that a Sandberg Lionel is in my future. 1 Quote
Jackroadkill Posted December 2 Posted December 2 A nice 4ohm cabinet to go with my Elf. A small, lightweight but poky cab with a tight bottom end, please. Quote
Twigman Posted December 2 Posted December 2 (edited) Still umming and aahing about a wireless system - current top of the list is the Shure GLXD16+ Price was £458 hence the umming and aahing - was waiting to see if anywhere discounted on 'Black Friday' - I notice Andertons had a big red sale banner on the item early last week and had reduced the price to £458! - now there is a black Black Friday 'sticker' on the item with the price reduced to £458! Such savings shouldn't be sniffed at.... Still umming and aahing Edited December 2 by Twigman 3 Quote
gjones Posted December 2 Posted December 2 I'm hoping to grab a black, sparkly, Sire Z3 when some random Basschatter, who grabbed one when they first came out, gets bored with it and decides to flog it. Quote
Reggaebass Posted December 2 Posted December 2 I’ve got a bit of gas for a barefaced two 10s just to see how it sounds with my Ampeg amp ,and I think I might try out some 65/66 precisions again in the new year to see if I can get on with the wider nut Quote
chris_b Posted December 2 Posted December 2 I'm still looking for my unicorn bass. Must sound better than my Sadowsky and weigh less than 3.5 kg. Quote
tauzero Posted December 2 Posted December 2 I'm rather short of headless fretless basses, so a headless fretless 5-string Sei Flamboyant would be nice. Toying with the idea of replacing my GR Bass AT800 with an AT212V to use with the Tecamp Puma. Quote
Doctor J Posted December 2 Posted December 2 I'd like to get my hands on a Vigier Passion IV, for the craic. 1 Quote
Norris Posted December 2 Posted December 2 I can't help feeling that I need some midi foot pedals to control my Novation Bass Station 2, even though I really don't need them Stylophone theremin. Must have one I'm actually ok for basses. I'd rather get back to building them rather than buying 1 Quote
Linus27 Posted December 2 Posted December 2 Unless things take a dramatic turn, I can see my 2025 GAS list being quite small. I'm very happy with my fretless basses and can't really see the need to get anything else or improve on what I have. I'm also very happy with my pedals but there are some I'd still like to try which are, Strymon Cloudburst MXR Script 90 Phaser I do have a bit of a love/hate relationship with my MarkBass LM IV and Barefaced Two10 rig. Some days I'm super happy with it and other days not. I'm actually really tempted to get a Fender Rumble 800 combo as every time I played through one, its sounded mega. So we shall see. Quote
binky_bass Posted December 2 Posted December 2 Would love to have @Cosmicrain make me a 6 string Zoot of some variety. Been threatening to properly discuss one for years, never found the right financial time to do so yet! Maybe 2025 is the year... 1 Quote
BassBiscuit Posted December 2 Posted December 2 'GAS' you say....! Well gonna get me some 'therapy' to help with my affliction..... Might cure me of looking at stuff I don't need.......🙄 Quote
Dood Posted December 2 Posted December 2 Finances definitely don’t allow and probably won’t for many years now sadly, but: I have a bass and a guitar that need routs for new pickups One bass that needs routing and I want to refinish it in my “signature colours” .. flip paint, you know me! Another bass that I’d love to customise with a new finish.. flip paint! Two basses that need refrets/dressing. A pick guard designed for a bass. A new neck for my Tokai maybe.. I want a Candy Apple Red / Candy Cola body or respray for my Strat. For gig tools, I’d love an active FRFR solution, the ole Barefaced FR800 would suit for guitar and bass needs I think, but I might be looking at a combo or PA cab. Failing that I could use a passive 1x12” with my Berg head when my big cab is OTT. I’d love to get a custom PJ bass made, I seem to be playing way more 4 strings at the moment and something for the bass magazine to use in every review would be super cool. I quite fancy a little guitar valve combo too, like a Laney LC for tinkering around with.. Quote
Lozz196 Posted December 2 Posted December 2 (edited) I’ve a lot of gear to sell but I’m thinking of getting a bass specifically made for me, essentially the Mustang bass that Fender don’t make: Black Slim Jazz width neck (same dimensions as my CIJ) Maple fretboard Hipshot Ultralites inc D-Tuner P & J pickups Vol, Vol, Tone 7.0lbs Edited December 2 by Lozz196 1 Quote

neepheid Posted December 2 Posted December 2 Nit, aff it. I have something on back order slated to arrive at the end of January to ease the shakes, then that's it. Quote
joel406 Posted December 2 Posted December 2 (edited) Gas? 2025? Hmmmm... Maybe a Fender USA 5 string Jazz? No, I got 4 of those. Maybe a Fender USA 5 string Precision? No. I got 4 of those too. Maybe the new Squier 6 string? Wait... Got one. Maybe a G&L USA L-2500? No got one. May be a USA G&L M-2500? Got it so, no. How about a G&L M-2500 tribute? Never mind. Got one. Maybe a new amp. No got 2 Mesa Subway D-800+ heads and a custom built Epifani UL901. That's out. Speaker cab? 2 Subway 212 cabs and 2 Subway 410 cabs in house already. So, No! New pedal? Let's see. 2 Quadcortexs. Pog 2 and Pog 3. Keely compressors. EBS envelope filter, check. Chorusaurus. CABM. Revolt. Le Bass. I could go on so, No! Wireless system? Shure SLXD. PSM 300 for the IEMs. No set there. 2025 looking gas free here. Edited December 2 by joel406 Quote
snorkie635 Posted December 2 Posted December 2 Maybe track down a CAR Roscoe Beck V, or failing that, nab an orange Bongo V? Quote

Still got some stuff left that I won’t be needing due to the reduction in my gigging schedule, so need to address what to let go & then that should be me done. But it doesn’t stop me wondering……..

ardi100 Posted December 2 Posted December 2 My first 5 string. Something cheap, humbucker(s) and a maple fretboard, only because that seems to be the opposite of what I do have. Some way of scratching the synth sound itch I can't seem to shake. Either a cheap series of pedals, a SA C4 or a quality multi unit that I could build some presets with. And a one cab solution. Even though I'm only playing in my house! Quote
Merton Posted December 2 Posted December 2 5 hours ago, ezbass said: I can’t help thinking that a Sandberg Lionel is in my future. Me too, I keep coming back to it as a bass I want to own…. But I have a new ACG incoming sometime in Q1 which I need to pay for before I even start thinking about anything else! And bonding with that should take priority for 2025 🙂 2 Quote
