I was just thinking that technically I managed a tier 1 success last year and could probably do it again, but I don't think it counts. Once I'm able to play what I would like to play adequately enough and have an opportunity to do so then the GAS tends to evaporate. Plus, the only bass that would tempt me at present is one of those where if one has to ask the price then it's too much. Even a relatively cheap in comparison EUB upgrade is not justifiable. So, resisting bass gear is fairly easy at the moment. But, I suck at jazz guitar and no-one wants me to play it, so there's plenty of GAS still around.

Well 2025 was an epic failure as far as gear abstinence goes, partly fuelled by GAS and partly by medical necessity. I had and abdominal operation and was not allowed to lift more than 2.5Kg ( about 5.6lbs for Luddite’s and Americans). Then at the end of my convalescence, I buggered (medical term) my shoulder, hence the U Basses. As the shoulder improved a bit I went Short Scale. Basses, Fender Fullerton U Bass, later PX’d for Kala Solid Body U Bass Hartwood Delta 30” Bass. Total outlay £350 but eared £300 at gigs I could not have done with a 34”. Amps/Speakers Wharfedale Pro Typhon 8AXF x 2 Citronics Casa 10” Subs x 2 Two 1.2m poles Total outlay about £1200. Sold Mesa Subway £450. So the basses do not count, as they were a medical necessity and the speakers were for the band so cannot be counted. Based on my twisted logic, I made a £150 profit on bass gear this year, no scratch that, £25. I forgot the cost of the Fullerton. All in all my bass related expenditure was a small profit. Now I just have to figure out why my savings too a big hit🤔

That looks awesome, although your AI generated description puts me off - is the bass something that you've played and have some experience with? -

Just a little MIDI progress this holiday break. @Chienmortbb made me up another two patch leads, so all 6 outputs are available at the front of my rack. We had some success using the synth for recording our first album - one track has a low E drone, a sort of Celtic pipe sound. That was played live and recorded as a WAV file to share with the studio - so easy-peasy. The album also has a self-penned jazz number on it - featuring a band mate on solo clarinet. I played bass (of course) and recorded it at the studio, but there was also a piano accompaniment. I recorded this as MIDI straight into Logic Pro at home. I tweaked the odd out of time or quiet note then played it back through the synth to record as a WAV. We did the same for the percussion for the jazz tune, recording the high hat, toms and cymbal separately, but next time with the patch panel I'm set up to record them all in one go as my Zoom recorder has 6 tracks. Sorry a very blurry photo from just holding my phone at the back of the rack and hoping for the best. Of course, I could just go straight in the back, but the rack is heavy and has no wheels, and I like having a front panel

Just noticed this, even Boss don’t have it on their site? https://ebay.us/m/OM14N5

Does this come with a cover? It looks as though the pictures have lost their link to me. I’d love to see them! -
When I was involved in recruiting, I hated reading CVs. They are great if you want to judge someone’s creative writing skills but other than that, marginally better than a day old copy of the Sun when the Andrew runs out. A well structured application form made it much easier to compare candidates. I hope that you all get the interviews and jobs you want in 2026.

Bumperoony for this. Had this on long term hold, but his situation has changed unfortunately. Dropping price down to £300- though I'm in no major rush to sell as they do sound great as a pair on that bigger gigs. Thanks

This was fitted to a jazz bass I owned but replaced with a more traditional bone nut. Its 41/42mm (measured with a tape measure I got from a Christmas cracker). £7 sound fair? -
I understand your curiosity ! but I'd rather not do it myself since the ramp seems to be securely attached to the body. I mean I don't think there's any problem removing it but perhaps during a routine visit to a luthier ? Thanks for your comment! -
Well, it's now all set up and the only thing I have to complain about is the strings. They're supposedly D'addario sets, but they were pretty lifeless and the E was a dud with a nasty overtone. No problem! I bought a couple of Warwick Red Label 35-95 sets in the Black Friday sales for £8 each, so I've put those on it, and it sings. The pickups (whatever they are) produce a deep and toneful bottom end, and a clear, but in no way nasty top end. It's a low and fast funk machine now. This will make someone a fine bass. Total spend, £71.

I would say that's OK - band funds not your personal gear - but as @Mrbigstuff points out, it has always been a T2 fail. @neepheid is in Aberdeen and Hogmannay falls just before a weekend. When the party's over and he's sobered up he can have final say. 😊

Listed as a tier 2 fail.
