Help me

Yeah, I suggest picking up a Broughton HPF instead.

 

Dude, seriously? This thread has nothing to do with an HPF.

We love ya, but maybe give it a rest once in a while.

 

Yeah, well good luck with this here OP.

It's like wandering into a liquor store mistaking it for an AA meeting.

 

Just a suggestion for redirected GAS. My Doc told me it's a thing.
TB or not TB, that's the real question.

 

I suggest contacting the TalkBass moderators and asking for a lifetime ban.

 

Save up money for another bass, but instead, spend it on:

• Lessons (in person or via Skype)
• Instructional materials (theory books, DVDs, etc.)
• Your favorite recorded music so that you can learn how to chart bass parts

Or, in the alternative: Go ahead and spend the money on the Sandberg, and come to the realization months later on your own that technical proficiency has no positive correlation to the size of your bass herd.

 

GBS???????

You just went from GBS to GAS!

Welcome to the dark side of the force! Now buy it!


may the bass be with you

...let the GAS run through you!

 

The term familiar to most of us is G.A.S. (Gear Acquisition Syndrome).
If you're having trouble affording it, do something for your skills instead & invest in lessons.

The great thing about music is that it can take you places in your mind, while you're stationary in one spot.
The more you know about playing, the farther you can take yourself.

 

If you're American, it's one of your First Amendment rights to buy any bass gear that you can afford. A new bass might improve the quality of your life (and your music), but you'll have to figure that out for yourself.

 

The only way to end GAS is to log off and avoid music stores.

 

that ↑

 

OP, you're funny.
We all know this ends just like "old cat lady" but with bass gear. Enjoy it while you can!

 

I am about to pick up a fender American special precision mint condition this sat for super super cheap . will post pics Saturday after practice, any one have any reviews for the bass.

 

Just play the Fender for a while and don't touch the Yamaha. When you feel like you want a new bass, get out the Yamaha and put away the Fender.

 

What's this "you can afford" thing you speak of? Are you lost? Do you know what site this is?

 

I've got at least 5 items on my GAS list. Got a 5 string 51 P being built. Lighter cab.
5 string ABG. and a few fantasy items.
