2015 - New Year purchases anyone?

Apr 21, 2013

Washington DC
Disclosures
Partner - CCP Pedals
We've already got some of this spread out over other threads, but i thought it could be cool to consolidate them all in one place.

So what's on your shopping list for 2015? Planning on selling anything? New bass on the horizon? New amp? Pedals?

For me, I hope to concentrate my purchases next year:

- Moog MF-104 delay
- Eventide H9 Max
- EHX C9
- Pete Cornish BD-1
- Fairfield Circuitry Barbershop V2

I should have the EHX, Fairfield and Pete Cornish by the end of Jan. Then if I could get the Moog by the summer and the Eventide before or after, I should be pretty darn set!

What about you?

Ah, dang it. Missed it. I liked my thread title better, though. :)

Here is what I posted there:

I have a few things on my Christmas list which may or may not happen. But my 2015 effects GAS is simple---it's two items that aren't even out yet.

(1) Panda Audio Future Impact
Semi-announced but still vaporware at this point.
http://www.talkbass.com/threads/deep-impact-reissue-interested.1115025/

(2) Source Audio Reflex
Coming in spring 2015(?)


I will probably need a Hub (I might get that with some Christmas money, TBD) and a few other smaller, cheap auxiliary controller pedals at some point. But really, my major GAS boils down to those two pedals.

I'll be hitting the boxing day sales for the following (and failing that, will get them in 2015) ...
- Expression Pedal COMPATIBLE with M5
- Pigtronix or Mission Eng expression pedal.

2015 proper I'll be hunting deals on new/used 'dulz for my new project board...
- Rocktron Black Cat Moan
- OD
- Distortion
- Deeply Impactful (prolly come out in 2016)

Temple board maybe?

Dr. Scientist Cosmichorus and Tremolescence ordered, but won't get them til 2015.


Problem is, there's so much catnip out there for this FF, and only so much scratch... so it's really tough to say what will come my way.

So long as I land on my feet, I'll be purring.

Next year should be a big year of purchases as I plan on duplicating my rig and so on...

1. A second Yamaha RBXJM2 bass with flight case (I need a backup guitar);
2. A second Trace Elliot AH500X amp
3. A second Trace Elliot redline 1528 cab
4. A second Trace Elliot redline 1048 cab
5. A stand alone Trace Elliot GP7 preamp/200 watt amp (to drive my Bright Box and let me shape the tone on it just like I want)
6. A great three way signal splitter (to send my bass signal to both AH500X's and the GPS7/200)
7. A flight case for my pedalboard
8. A flight case for the second AH500X head
9. A Monster Power 3500 conditioner
10. A 4u padded rack or a 2u (depends on whether or not the GPS7/200 I get has it's own case or needs to be racked; the Monster 3500 will take the [other] 2U)
11. Requisite cables, blah blah blah

Now... IF I can find it...

1. A Trace Elliot MP11 preamp with midi foot board (in which case I won't be getting a second AH500X and will redo everything amp-wise that I listed above, but MP11's are SO rare. The AH500X is hard to find, too, but not as rare as the MP11)
2. A pair of Trace Elliot RA 600 SX amps
3. A second Trace Elliot Bright Box (again, VERY rare)

And MAYBE
A decent 6 string fretless bass for around $1000.

We'll see what's available at the time

I'll likely be changing my answers by tomorrow but at least for what I've got my eye on now:

Sonuus wahoo
Fairfield barbershop
Loud button ***
I'll probably pick up a squire to turn it into a fretless and all around project bass sometime during the year as well.

Oh and and obscene amount of recording gear to hopefully make my sad little home studio a little less sad
