GAS over for a while... Got my 2 dream basses...

Nice basses. Im amazed that such run of the mill instruments can qualify as someones dream bass though. lol

 

Nicely done! Congrats!!!

 

Nice pair!!!

 

Most excellent!

Are they significantly tonally different?

 

Thats the amazing thing about being an individual...it allows you to dream however you want without feeling the need to conform to what others think.

Excellent basses, Jvanick...as the proud owner of a Geddy, I can safely say that I think you'll love it. I haven't played a marcus Miller but they sure look sweet. Enjoy the new members of the family!

 

Dream basses? They're sweet but I'll bet they'll be in the classifieds in 6 months . . .

 

Although i agree to a degree id say that buying run of the mill basses is conformity. That is of course unless someone tries a ton of basses and decides something like that is perfect. I suppose there has to be poeple with less of an imagination out there so it makes sense. I didnt mean anything by what i said in my post, i was just surprised.

Both of those are great basses and i wasnt trying to take away from that.

 

Nice score, jvanick!
I'm sure you'll dig them both.

 

People always want to take away from someone else's joy. Congrats on your purchases man, don't let these people drag you down.

 

Congrats on the basses!

 

Congratulations! Nice basses, nothing wrong with those being dream basses. I know I've sold hand made instruments worth three three times and coming back to "run of the mill" instruments.

I'd keep both and put a new pre into the Miller, makes it come alive in a whole new way.

 

It's a fact is all . . . looky here: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=126

The end of GAS is next to an impossibility.

 

So we all need to make sure to buy ridiculous looking singlecuts with five pickups, 9 strings, and a preamp/operating system onboard right?

Pretty much every decision anyone ever makes conforms to something before it in some way, I'll have none of this, "You bought a Marcus Miller Jazz, therefore you're conforming--but me with my Wiggity Wack bass over here, I'm not!" You're like the goth kids on South Park.

 

Congrats Jvanick! Sometimes it's the little things that please people the most. I've known several musicians that go full circle from a beater instrument -> mass produced -> custom boutique (with tons of effects) -> and then back to a mass produced instrument.

It's almost a minimalist feel to it. In the end the instrument is an extension of the musician. I'm happy for Jvanick and that they are comfortable with the simple things.

My sig has 2/5 of my own mass produced dream instruments and I've loved them since day 1.

 

Grats man! Glad you got your dream basses! and dont worry gas will return.. it always does

 

Aaaaaa......Two Jazz Basses are better than one.

 

Why BEAD tuning?

 

Right, because that is exactly what im implying.......except not at all. Youre of course blowing what i said out of proportion. Its lame kids like you who feel the need to argue about everything when someone states their opinion. Grow up and stop overthinking everything. Jeesh...

 

Put a black pick guard on the Geddy and that might be one of my dream basses! Congrats!
