2022 Bass Acquisition Round Up

[chris_b]

I bought an amp, changed my mind, sold it.

That's it.

 

[God's Favorite Bass]

A couple of AmPro IIs was it for me.

 

[ahbradot]

2007 USA Ernie Ball Music Man Sterling 4 H H bass Honey Burst.
This beautiful bass has single-handedly convinced me sell all my other basses. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted in tone and playability.

 

[Krizz]

Been saving for a Birdsong for 4 years or so, and finally jumped on an available body I’d been admiring for a few months during Scott’s July 4th sale. Hoped it would be here before years end,but not quite, been “in assembly” for about 3 weeks now.

Hadn’t planned on anything else, but I couldn’t pass up Proaudiostars ridiculously low price on a Squier CV 50’s

Just 2 new ones for me this year:

i think you grabbed that EB HSS right before I could snag it - well played!

 

[Michael Eisenman]

I came out of 2022 with a G&L Kiloton View attachment 4917971

Beautiful finish on that Kiloton, similar to the 2012 Aerodyne that I got this month. It now has TI Rounds on it.

 

[beggar98]

Broke my own rule and bought a new (as opposed to used) bass, but this played so sweet in the store I couldn't pass it up. If you find a good one of these Squier CVs, they're an insanely good value.

 

[Carl320]

I only bought one bass this year

 

[bmusic]

It is the wrong thread for it, but I also picked up a guitar.

Oh please...tell me more about this gorgeous creature. I'm such a sucker for that Dyna Gretsch vibe...

The binding on the body looks fantastic. Congratulations. I've been meaning to try TI rounds. I have their flats on another jazz and I love them.

I came out of 2022 with a G&L Kiloton View attachment 4917971
And a surprise MIJ 51 P I won at auction. Love them both.

I love the P but that Kiloton is se-eh-exxy!

 

[Doctor Morbius]

I bought 3 basses in 2022. All 3 were impulse purchases.

• Fender MIM PJ Mustang in surf green. (customer return/open box from Sweetwater)
  
• Squier Classic Vibe Late '60s (direct from Fender when they were $240-ish)
• Squier Affinity Jaguar-H (from Sweetwater for under $200 on sale)

I am DONE, DONE, DONE!!!

Godin 5th Avenue Uptown T-Armond (5th Ave Uptown T-Armond Havana Burst | Godin Guitars)

It is a solid guitar. Godin guitars are well made for their price point. The sound is what you would expect from TV Jones T-Armonds. High end sparkle on them is insane. Controlled mids. Solid low end.

Picked it up new from Amazon (with Amazon.com as the seller) for $500 less than the normal going rate. I have seen Amazon put great prices on Godin guitars a few times over the last few years. Picked up a Summit Classic HB on a similar deal a few years back.

 

[fourstr00]

Bought my first bass in ten years, and will probably be my last. Very happy with it.

Also picked up one of these on close out.

 

[GreyBeard]

Player plus V.

 

[muggsy]

Didn’t buy anything bass related this year. No basses, no amps, no pedals, no strings.

 

[jbasedig]

i have one "2022 bass." it's a humdinger of a PJ. and it happens to be my most expensive pile of parts to date!

i've posted it all over TB this year, but maybe another pic of it is in order:
