    I think I've reached that, "I've got all this stuff that isn't gonna ever get used" state. Projects that will never see the light of day.

    Some of it is worth selling, some may as well see the bin. 
    I think I could do with a cathartic gear purge to clear the decks both physically and psychologically.

      The problem for most of us in this situation is that there are so many of us on BC in the same situation...hard to sell to others who already have too much quality gear...

    Just shipped my old Custom Shop Jazz to Slovenia. I've packed it well but it's still so scary. I hope it arrives well.

      Yep...can relate to that. I've sent basses both home and abroad and it is scary but we put our trust in the courier and hope for the best. 

       

      Hope it all goes well.

    Now the owner of a Squier Dimension 4 string. A bit oddball and quirky design but it's good fun.

      I've got the 5er...

       

      More bass than you'd expect for the price.

    Any thoughts on the GK legacy 800 bass head?

      I don't know that particular model but I've never played a GK that didn't impress..

    Just put new strings on my Epiphone Casino. Took about ten times as long as changing bass strings.

      I understand - the strings go round and round, where they stop nobody knows. 😉😉

      You wouldn't believe that it - students.

       

      Bomb Squad carried out a controlled explosion before letting residents return to their homes.

      JOOI what does the endorsement entail? Is the gear free or do you get a significant discount?

    Really really pleased with a couple of purchases from fellow BC members in the last week or so. Got myself an amazing AI DoubleShot cab, and a Danelectro Longhorn bass. Both amazing. A good start to the new year for me :)

      That's something slightly different. Involves a license to print loads of money.
