What are you currently GASing for?

[NoSlapForYou]

The what you just bought?
Is that one of those short basses with too many of the little tiny strings? I've seen those around before.

It turns out that when you're recording complete songs at home by yourself, a guitar sometimes comes in handy. An unfortunate fact of life.

A pork loin.



Will be the third one I've bought. Winner.

 

[Rapisme]

A sale from the classifieds here on TB...it's been a long time!

 

[LowRick]

- Fender Jazz Bass for blues band
- Fender Aerodyne Jazz for me
- Decent amp & cab stack for gigs.

 

[MojoPenguin]

Orange Terror Bass

 

[BBQV]

Talent...

 

[seilerbird]

Absolutely nothing. During the last two years I replaced all my instruments with the ones I really wanted and now I am thrilled with every single one of them. I want for nothing.

 

[Sam Dingle]

A 5 string bass I actually care about...

 

[lbbc]

I'm moving to a camper in the Poconos in 3 days so GAS'ing isn't a priority due to having no room. My PA and lights are at my guitarist's house. Any extra gear is on for sale (on consignment) at a local music store. I have an amazing Dave Pushic Custom Bass (my only bass) and a Roland Street Cube (for practice purposes).

There are so many nice basses and amps for sale here on TB, that interest me, but my new reality prevent me from any purchases.

[Bruiser Stone]

No gas for anything realistically within my grasp. I wish my gear was lighter, but for now I can handle it. My pedal infatuation has ended.

But if I lose my mind someday, a Hiwatt or Simms-Watts stack.

 

[Wesley R]

A combo that will fit in a 18"x19"x30" space, that can get as bassy, woofy, loud as an B15 with shot tubes and a beat to heck CTS speaker, need not have extremely good note definition, etc.

 

[klejst]

I'd like to find another good Fender bass to serve as a second/backup however I'm actually pretty content right now with what I have for what I do and use it for. Of course I always keep at least one eye open for "deals of the year."

 

[Kevin Teed]

A Mesa SW 2x10 to go with the D-800+ that I got a while back and a band to use it in.
If that doesn't happen, a Martin D-21 for home use.

 

[FlyingPigSound]

I would like a Ric, because I used to have one and stupidly let it go. But they are overpriced and the chances are slim that I'll ever get another. No biggie, I've got 5 nice basses.

I had a jetglo Ric 4003s, and bought an Alpine White Jack Casady bass as a backup. After playing the JCB at one band rehearsal, the Ric was sold by the end of the week, and the JCB has been my #1 ever since...

 

[javi_bassist]

Source Audio C4... That thing sounds amazing.

And a couple of Orange OBC112

 

[Wilmingtonian]

Local store has a nice 8 string (octave, not extended range) that is really, really compelling, not very costly. But I can't even handle 4 strings!

 

[Bassman Spliff]

For me it's a Mesa wd800 either 2 210 subway cabs or some barefaced cabs. I don't need any of it and I am satisfied with my current rig for now, but that how gas works

Man, same here. Don't really need it, but want it so bad.

 

[skyline_01]

Everything. But realistically, things I might actually be able to afford in the not-too-distant future:

-Another 5-string - a more traditional-sounding P/J or P/MM with S/SC/P switch (I currently own an L-2500 which is fantastic but want the versatility of something different). Preferably US-built but a nice import with quality parts might do.

-A straight P-bass of some sort, 4 or 5 string. Origin doesn't matter much - could be a parts bass, an old Hondo or something equivalent, or a ready-to-go instrument.

-A "large gig" cabinet to pair with my Reidmar 750 - a 4x10 or 2x12, something inexpensive that doesn't weigh a million pounds but sounds good and gets loud enough for larger stages.

-Upgrades for my Sterling SB14 - white pickup cover for stock pickup (OR Nordy replacement pickup with white cover installed), white pearl pickguard, Hipshot BT7 detuner.

-Music Man or Sterling bridge replacement (the one with the anchor bolts) for my "hybrid" SUB/Stingray fretless bass. I know these are virtually impossible to find but I'm holding out hope for one someday. I know I can get a non-logo knockoff on eBay or Amazon pretty cheap but I wonder about the quality.

I could go on all day with more but I'll spare you.

 

[GDUBS]

Ibanez SRH505 (Dragon Eye Burst but will settle for the other color if need be...)
Schecter Apocalypse C-5

A 300-500+ watt amp, preferable at least tube front end, probably Class D back end. I am in need of something this powerful to drive my full stack, but in want of a need to use the stack (no current band, no current project).

I got the c-5 about 5 weeks ago. Absolutely love it. Haven't picked up any of my other basses since. Im sure they are giving me dirty looks! Lol
