2017- What's on your GAS List?

[Tom Bomb]

nice! i hope you keep us informed on your experience/progress! thanks in advance.

Will do

 

[winegamd]

...More time to practice.

 

[LostInSauce]

I'd like to add a nice Fender MIM Deluxe Jazz 5 or a Sire V7 5 to the quiver.

 

[ThuzzleFump]

A coupla really amazing hollowbodies and maybe one of those little Mesa combos.

 

[Stu_Bass]

Think I'm going to try one of these:

The Junior Barnyard pre-amp. Made to cop the tone of archtop guitar players from the '40's like Junior Barnard. The guy who builds these is into throwback guitars and equipment. I have one of his 'Brain' pre-amps, it's an always-on effect that punches up the volume without sacrificing clarity. There are a couple of YouTube videos from guitar players and I really dig the tone they get from it.

I'm curious as to whether you've looked in to the Curtis Novak Charlie Christian pickups

 

[Bard2dbone]

Too much stuff.

Currently I'm buying the parts to Frankenstein an Eric Clapton Signature Strat together. I'm also considering buying some more recording goodies.

 

[KickingBass]

Darkglass B7K... maybe some type of stingray style bass and I think that's pretty much it... for now...

 

[frpax]

I need a really good amp. I'm thinking about building my own.

 

[lousybassist]

I'm definitely happy with what I have gear wise, but there's always room for more...

- Bruce Johnson AMB-2

- Serek Midwestern (if it's possible to get one in medium scale)

- Gibson Ripper

- Höfner Club Bass

- A Mesa Subway cab, either a 1x15 or a 2x10, to go with the 1x15 I already have.

- Z-Vex Basstortion

- A Hipshot bridge for my Ric.

Realistically, I might end up with a new cab, and an overdrive pedal. And if I'm to get a new bass, a Ripper or Club is more likely than any of the others on the list.

 

[Morris2103]

A lake placid blue fender jazz with maple board.. I saw one last year and really wanted one. It was a toss up between that or a sadowsky jazz.. the wife didn't seem too keen on me getting that one.. hahahaa

 

[miles'tone]

I'm hoping for a GAS free year

Me too. I wasted a lot of time and money during 2016.

I'm working at something musical that's alot more worthwhile... KAS.

Knowledge Acquisition Syndrome..

 

[Midak]

Well, if I would be able to get a CS Precision Bass in 2017 would be nice.
Then again, not in a hurry - I've got my CS Jazz Bass.

Happy New Year!

 

[bench]

gas made me downgrade for 2017:

sold this:

and this:

to get this:

should recieve it in a couple of days...

 

[Fat Freddy]

I'm confused....does it auto play our eps as soon as it opens in your browser? Id like to see what we can do about that if it's an annoyance....

Yes....It auto plays....

 

[39-Bassist]

Fender TF Fretless (black) and the Fender 300 Bassman tube head with 810 cab.....that's all.......oh wait or is it how my wife says it...Is that ALL?

 

[lbbc]

I like looking but need and want nothing. GAS is not "cured"....Just at bay for the time being.
1986 Alembic Persuader
2013 Pushic Custom
2014 Pbass
Carvin BX700 w,/BRX 210 cab
Radial Tonebone Bassbone
Shure Wireless w/tuner
Boss Bass Chorus
Bose PA system w/210 bass module
Shure SM58A mics w/stands
LED lighting sustem

Truthfully, pretty much set..

 

[Jack Butler]

Pretty light for 17. I've been meaning to try an mv atlas pickup in my P bass , so that will happen. Other than that, the c109 organ pedal looks interesting, but I'm not using any pedals in my rig so it's not something I'd do much with but tinker at home probably.

 

[gully_jones]

This

But should be this

 

[Plutonium244]

I am pretty well set on amps/cabs/misc but there's always a bass that catches the eye. For now I feel no GAS pressure, 2016 was a good year. Sure, I'd love a Sadowsky or a Fodera, but I generally don't go over $1,000 when buying basses.

But my recent interest list includes:

a used agave blue Fender Jazz (they quit making agave blue in about 2010?). Yes, it's mainly about the color.

A PJ of some kind such as the sea foam Precision Special with Jazz neck

Ibanez BTB33 .. a 5-string E-C-tuned 33" scale

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Generally my rule is a new bass needs to bring something new to the table in terms of its performance and not be duplicative, so the agave blue jazz is an exception to my rule.

 

[Bare Bass]

1.) Emerald six-string fretless Balor acoustic bass guitar.
2.) Stambaugh six-string fretless semi-hollowbody custom design.

2016 was really the year of bass GAS, thanks to my discovery last year of Warmoth and TalkBass. 2017's GAS is just a mop-up operation.
