Bass purchases for 2011

[KingRazor]

This year I plan on buying everything I need to assemble a parts-P bass.

A Fender MIM P-body.
A Mighty Mite P-bass Neck.
A Gotoh 201 Bridge
A set of Sandberg Adjustable Tension Tuners.
Some CTS Pots.
A switchcraft jack.
and a Bill Lawrence P46 pickup.

If this build turns out to be half as good as what I'm hoping, it's going to rock.

More than likely done buying basses, but if a really sweet deal on a used HWY or MIA P-bass falls into my lap, I may not be held responsible for my wallet opening up.

Lakland Hollowbody if I have enough cash and wife tolerance left over after buying a new amp rig.

 

[And I]

i've been thinking about trading my 5 string in for a 4 string P-Bass Special... also will be picking up a 2nd GK neo 112-ii to complete my mini-rig-of-doom

I am going to try very hard to not buy another bass. I have a nice 5 string bass, active/passive, jazz style with Bartolini electronics that can get me all the tones I really NEED so although G.A.S. will always be there, I'm going to try and resist.

Now amps is another story. While my combo is fine, I am lusting after all the new Genz Benz stuff. Max 9 heads, Uber cabs, etc., etc.

First, I will save up to pay off the remaining balance for my new custom order StingRay 5 HS. Candy Red w/ matching headstock, Maple 'board, and White Pearl pickguard.

Beyond that, I'm not sure. I sure would love to have a Yamaha BB2025...

I have already paid for 2 basses that are due in 2011: A Lakland LOG bass (P5) and a one-off custom that I ordered in Nov. '09... Both should be here in the next few weeks!

Then I'm looking for a Carvin AC50f fretless.

Not sure... Always kind of on the lookout for a Gibson Thunderbird IV but I don't want to spend that much on a bass right now. I'll probably get some sort of Teisco or something that's on the weird side. Also want to fix up my Pan.

More than anything I'll be completing my backup rig. Got an Earth head recently and want to find an old Ampeg 2x15 to pair with it.

mama said no more basses this year

I hope what I have keeps me happy for the next 10 years

I'm wishing for:

A fretless 5-string (lined) Roscoe to go with my fretted SKB.

An iamp Doubler head since most of my gigs seem to involve both upright and BG.

A Bergantino HT112 to go under my Epi UL110 for louder situations.

New people to play with in Chicago, my new home!

 

[JimiLL]

Depending on how my lawsuits turn out I may be looking for a Custom 17mm MTD 5er

 

[Nomadskills]

I'd like to get a MIA P-Bass. (First post, Hi everyone) We'll see how it goes though...

 

[richnota]

I have a gorgeous ACG piezo-only bass under construction that should be ready in a few weeks. HG Thor is epoxying the fingerboard of my Singlecut R-Bass and I have a nice jazz-style bass coming together using parts from several earlier DIY experiments.

I think I'd like less this year than more.

The chambered, piezo AC Bass in progress:

I would like a Lakland Jerry Scheff.

 

[yellofury]

an EUB and a fretless

 

[I<34080]

Unless I find a deal that can't be passed up, I'm good bass wise.

I plan on some rig changes.

It's between these 2 jazzes and a P for sure this year. I'm torn between the 70's Jazz and that Fiesta Red Roadworn Jazz. Never really liked red on basses, but that hue has me gassing. I know it's all down to preference, 70's pu spacing and aesthetics, but I cannot make up my mind. As for the P, I want that gold pickguard on sunburst!

I'm also thinking of custom building my own jazz and p with parts from Mighty Mite and Warmoth. Or I just might take an Ash body for my VM.

 

[Waterpilot]

I'd like to get a MIA P-Bass. (First post, Hi everyone) We'll see how it goes though...

Same. MIA P-Bass is what I'm thinking next and welcome to Talkbass...

On the brink of the new year, tomorrow as a matter of fact, I'm going to collect the Godin Shifter bass I've orderded.
I expect it to be the best of all (jazz- and p-bass) worlds for my music which is blues(rock) and old-school soul.
And I very much like the looks that remind me of the first Fender bassguitar.
So for 2011, allthough allways full of GAS, I expect to not get me another bass...

That Godin is way cool.
