What's next on you GAS list ?

I bought an ACG EQ-02 preamp to put in my fretless, but for reasons too longwinded to go into here I diverted it into a recently purchased 6 string bass. Since trying one of these preamps I am totally, totally smitten by them, so now I need a ACG EQ-01 to go into my fretless, because it will be a physically better fit, and even more versatile.
 
Already have too many basses. However--ahem--Lakland Skyline 44-64 Custom "Duck Dunn." Too cool.

Just scratched that itch!! :D Wish me luck sneaking it past the War Department. Candy Apple Red...not exactly another sunburst!
 
Gassing for another NEOX 400 112T and 112T Cabinet.
Nothing dramatic about that.

But...

That will launch me into my new Tone Rack 2.0:

2 Wireless
1Korg Tuner
1 Furman Light and Power Unit
1 Digitech 2120
1 Digitech Studio Quad

I would add that to my Yamaha PB-1 (wondered what I was going to do with that?) and 2 Digitech BP8's

Wireless to(>) Yammie:
[where it all began for me in days of yore as the
Tube v. SS Wars began, sounds like I am going
to OB1 reminecing about the Clone Wars, but the
equivilent to this galaxy is Digital Modeling]

(Yammie front out > Tuner)
(keep the Single stage Parametric set on my favorite boost at the ready)

Yammie Cross over split

Lows to: Studio Quad 4 Ch#1>
BP-8>
BP-8(second 12AX7 aids the digestion, using my
favorite setting)>
GB NeoX 400 using both 12AX7 and FET preamps,
no EQ, Low Shape
(3 12AX7's in the path)
Tweeters OFF on Low Stack

Highs to:
2120 (it was this or an Avalon VT737sp)>
Studio Quad 4 Ch#2>
GB NeoX 400 using both 12AX7 and FET preamps,
no EQ, Mid and high Shape.
(3 12AX7's in the path)

I think JE would be pround to hear that.


Not going to going for any Folded Conche 15 and 18 Horns like John, I have no back for that little benefit. if I went that far I would go with Meyers Cabinets.


That should allow me to clean the floor up and sweep all my stomp boxes under a rug somewhere.

If this idea is positively distinguishable and more useful from running the two combos in natural full range Stereo the next incarnation is a ShuttleMax 12.2 with four (4) Neox112's for lows and 1 ShuttleMax 9.2 with Two Neox112's

So what is up with me an GB?
I Love the Cabs, the Power sections match cabs well, and the Pre Amp versitility if a Tube craps out.:hyper: Have never used the EQ in 6 years, I have no comment on that.
 
I don't *need* another one. Obviously. I've just bought a Schecter, and Aradia, my Frankenstein bass-build should be finished this side of christmas. And I'm going to need to save some money for next year so the band can record an album.

But I keep looking at the pretty little things. And I seem to have the opposite problem to a lot of you: my better half actually tells me I ought to "treat myself" to these things when I mention them.

So...I found out that Epiphone do actually make a neck-through version of the T-Bird after all. (I thought they were a limited run for some reason, as I'd only seen bolt-necks recently) Anyone got any experience with these? I do love the look, and from the one I tried years ago, I'm expecting a sound similar to my EB-3.

A Fender P. I've always wanted one. If anything, my Schecter's just reinforced the desire.

An 8-string. I might have to nip over to the Luthiery forum and ask around...I've had this daft idea of experimenting with converting a cheap P-bass to an 8-string, but I wonder if the neck would cope with the tension. Or if there's anything else I've overlooked.

Oh, and a Laney Nexus Tube. Definitely don't need this just yet, but I've always wanted a tube amp. I just really prefer the sound to tranny amps.
