whats are you GASsing for at the moment

[Rayman]

Marcus Miller Jazz
70's jazz or precision
ACG 6 string
Amp upgrade

In that order. I should never have let my Marcus go in the first place.

[Shockwave]

Jazz bass, Any number of strings, Preferably with maple board.

I have a Warwick Streamer LX4 To trade

[stingrayfan]

Nothing really...

...actually, I wouldn't say no to a Teal Stingray-4. Or a Trace Elliot rig. Or...

[The Burpster]

I've got all the gear I need.....

Now what I really want is......... skill and timing!

I've decided my Smith 6 isn't used enough to justify keeping it. Its usually used for recording chordal bits but now I have a guitar there's not much need for me to use it by itself. The two 5's get used mostly on stage and the c string on the 6 just tends to get in the way of the guitar in the mix.

However, because I'm embarking on some MIDI programming, I think there will still be a need for a way of inputting chordal data using something other than a keyboard (which I can use but I'm not particularly nimble on being a leftie).

I had an email exchange with Rob Green about my ambitions for a headless MIDI Status Stealth 6 and it looked like there were so many unknowns for him in what I wanted that I was potentially opening myself up to a lot of risk cost wise if the build process wasn't straight forward. That is, I was going to end up paying through the nose for anything that wasn't straight forward to install.

So I had a chat to Jon Shuker about a headless 6, given the gorgeous shape of johngh's, but with a maple/wenge neck and the Graphtec Ghost MIDI piezo pickups/"Hexpander" convertor. The bass is going to be used in my lounge and rehearsal studios mostly rather than on stage and a headstock has tended to get in the way with low ceilings. Plus I just like the look and feel of headless basses and I've wanted one for a looooooooong time. Jon already has the piezo saddles I want in stock too so he's used to working with them, hopefully that will mean the cost risk is lower.

I will need to sell my Smith 6 to cover the cost, however but hopefully the Shuker will sound better.

I think I'd like a Lakland DJ4 in black with a maple neck.

I'd also like a Trace Elliot 2102 cab.

The perennial problem is what to sell to fund the gas. '80 Stingray? 05 Stealth 2? Pink Jazz? Sound City L200?

I want a red Jaguar bass as a backup to my 70's jazz, it starts off heavy, and gets about 12lbs heavier every 10 minutes thereafter!

+1

since my dad bought me my HB music man iv decided the bass i used to dislike(alot) is now on my gas list... A music man SUB in black!....or an EB but a sub is more realistic!!!

[barneythedog]

a decent Jazz
some musical ability
a drummer who can count

[artisan]

Modulus Flee bass don't care what colour 'cos i can't afford it anyway
its just nor fair.

[JoeS]

One of those twin-pickup OLPs would do me very nicely. Other than that, I'm GAS free (bass-wise at least, drums are a whole different story).

[Roo]

Warwick Corvette, I have enough money but I don't know if I can really justify having another bass...

Also an extension cab for my rig would be cool, or a chorus pedal, or a compressor.

[Sibob]

Currently Gassing after 99ster's '72 Jazz
This is after having satisfied my 'Actve Jazz Bass' GAS the other week

Si

[Paul Cooke]

now GASsing for:

a fair sized portable combo (about 60 watts should do it...)

&

a Squier 5 string Jazz Bass

yeah, it's a Squier, but I've got to cut down my budget for this year... order from SWMBO (my daughter... she says I've got enough... don't know what she's moaning for, I'm picking up her new guitar on Friday...)

I'll probably trade my Peavey in for it...

[Tee]

Roadies, or even winged monkeys to carry/shift my gear.

[dub_junkie]

a G&L SB2,and a fender Jazz S1

DJ

[artisan]

Fender bass 1V
i don't know why i just want one.

[Rich]

After playing PTP's gorgeous Lakky Skyline DJ5 I'd really rather like, errm, a Lakky Skyline DJ5 ;-)
Pref. with the active bits like Pete's. It's got that Marcus tone absolutely nailed. Yum.

[Machines]

This week:

Marcus Miller Jazz (a reoccuring GAS item since I started playing bass)
Ibanez BTB555
Ashdown ABM500
Ashdown MAG115

[Viper]

I almost bought a Jaguar bass yesterday - it played and sounded nice but will be trying out a couple of others before I make a decision... though I have a feeling it'll be the Jag I'll end up getting.

Mark

[Thunder Fingers]

Right now im Gasing for:
Fender Geddy Lee Jazz Bass.
Line 6 Bass POD XT Live (Not a Bass, i know..)

And as always i have the Status Graphite Buzzard 1 on my wish list.

[lukeward2004]

Currently GASsing for:

- A J-Retro for my Jazz Bass
- Ibanez Gary Willis Fretless GWB-35 (which I am buying from a basschatter at the end of the month)
- Rackmount Bass POD with FBV floor controller
- Suitable Power amp so i can use the Bass POD as my rig
- 2 Tech ND410's to run the POD and Poweramp thru

Im seriously considering selling my hartke rig and then using the BassPOD and floorboard to control my sounds - ive been using nothing but the Bass POD xt I bought from Phatmonkey last month for practise and its awesome!

Hook, line and sinker eh Rich?

It is an utter babe of a bass. I've never been much of a one for slap playing but since I bought that bass I find I'm tempted to give it a good thumping every time I pick it up. I also find myself just picking up my bass at home a heck of a lot more now.

The passive one is rapidly growing on me lately though as I'm recording some guide tracks for the band's next demo and I'm using that rather than the one you played which is actioned up for live playing where a little buzz here and there doesn't hurt. The passive controls are astonishingly versatile.

As this is a GAS thread, I should say that I'm GASsing for either an F-Bass or a custom DJ5-a-like with pretty birdseye board, PJ pups and a cool vintage colour.

If I find an F-Bass in the right price range, the passive DJ5 might come onto the market yet Rich.
