That's about the extent of my GAS list too. Suggestions? How about....
I'm also considering the TC Ditto X2, which is less expensive, but I can foresee outgrowing it.
The only thing holding me back at the moment is that between this, a Smoothie, a Peterson Strobostomp, and a Line6 G50, I need to seriously consider a pedalboard. A small but precarious step down a very slippery slope. I've seen what's happened to some of the unfortunate souls over the in Effects forum.
I am currently gassing for either an Ibanez sr505 or (if it's still available) an Ibanez sr305b. I currently own an Ibanez gsr205b and I think it's a pretty decent bass. but I did purchased it to hold me over until I am able to afford a higher leveled Ibanez bass. which I plan to do sometime next year. I've also been interested in purchasing the 5-string explorer bass from guitar kit world. if funny that when I was younger, I've imagined a 5-string explorer bass. and now that I found a website that makes those basses, I am thinking about purchasing one. even though it did say that it takes a couple of weeks to be delivered(mainly because they're making the materials), it would be worth the wait to put together a radical looking bass guitar. plus this would be a stay at home bass. if I didn't choose to go with that bass, my other choice would probably would be a schecter stiletto stealth. I've been a little curious about that bass mainly because of it's pick-up configuration. and not just the cool sleek black finish it has. the pick-up consists a precision pick-up on the neck position and a musicman-styled pick-up on the bridge position. I'll bet that bass has a pretty killer sound. schecter always makes such cool bass guitars and the stiletto basses are by far the best basses I've ever played.
As for effects, I was thinking of purchasing a zoom b1on as a back-up to my zoom b3. it has the same effects as the zoom b3 and it can store up to 5 effects in one patch. other than that, I was thinking maybe I would purchase an empress heavy and a darkglass vmt once again. if I do decide to do that, I would start up 2nd pedalboard along with the rocktron reaction chorus and flanger pedals. but that would be a maybe. but for now, I am gassing for new basses in the future.

I gassed for one of those all thru high school! Still would like to have one...someday...maybe?
I reviewed my bank accounts, and decided to go ahead and make that one last purchase of 2015.
The return of the GK amps to GC from last week finally got paid back to my credit card. That took a week.
Two things - Dimarzio Model One for my EB-0. I don't need it. But want it. Used. At a decent price.
Oh, and a Silver Eagle Pickpocket leather strap from the late 1970's early 1980's. Plain leather with a dark pocket. Like I used to have back in the day. Again, don't need it, but sort of have a urge for it. That's what eBay is for. Keeps me searching.

I spent almost 5 yrs lurking in the shadows of EBay, stalking my old 1970 Univox EB1...finally pulled the trigger this past Spring. Same year, same model, lots of 0s in the serial number. What a Rush!

I'm hoping to finish a 112 with at Celestion Creamback to use Saturday night at a house party with the band. I'll keep you posted. It'll be with the full band; B-3, piano, drums and Toff will be on either his RS210 or RS48VT driven with a lil MarkBass or my GK800RB. I'm loading the G12H Creamback. It's a little heavier but the 100db sensitivity should keep it in the mix....and I'll check it out with bass through it. It does 70Hz-5K so we'll see what it sounds likeWell, I'm in the process of getting the requisite components, so does it still count as GAS?
My project lately has been a bi-amped setup a la Royal Blood - a MicroPOG splits off an octave-up signal to go to a "guitar" board of pedals that then goes to a guitar amp. What I've BEEN using for that amp is an Egnater Tweaker combo, but so far have only played through it at home. But there's no way I can stack that combo with my bass setup. I know that when I get out with a band there will be some pretty small stages, so what I'm working on is getting it all into a single amp stack.
Today I sold a Squier bass VI (liked it, but never really found the use for it), and used part of the money to put a deposit on one of these at GC - Invalid Link Removed - and when it becomes available (have to wait for a used gear time period to clear) I'll head up to Effingham to try out a Revsound 1x12. Guitar Cabinets | RevSound . The bass cab is already a Revsound and Dave says he can match the footprint to make a nice stack.
Apart from that... I'm thinking about a MIDI footcontroller for a keyboard (do a Geddy Lee). And someday, a Rickenbacker.
Unfortunately, I haven't. But when I get one, I don't think there would be any issues. After selling off most of my gear because I moved out of state, I was left with only one strap, which is pretty wide, which should help with any neck dive. I really don't think there would be any to begin with though. It seems pretty well balanced.
