This is not something that has ever affected me. I have been in some stressful situations with bands but there's no point staying if you're not enjoying it.

If you're inclined to take a sabbatical then do so, you know how you feel. I would suggest you keep hold of the gear because you never know when the bug will return.

I have an old bass I will be hanging on to just incase

I've played from one band to another now on and off ten years had some excellent times and made great friends along the way.In my last band though I could feel the strain starting on a good friendship and the fun was evaporating for me,so I walked away on good terms.Since then though I really have no desire to play and it sounds a bit pathetic but its really bothering me, so I put it to you bc'ers have you been through this and what's your story??

Whoops haha yes I will change that.

You are spot on mate basic is the last thing these basses are,they ooze quality.

For Sale or Trade..

A class bass with a neck that glides and plays like a dream,recently I've lost the will to play and think its a crying shame she's not getting the attention she deserves.The colour really is striking blueburst and the photos don't do it justice..

I'm based in stoke -on- trent the buyer would have to collect and pay cash (I hate evil bay and paypal.)or a trade can be done If its something tempting.I will not ship or send via post so please don't ask, stats are as follows..

Saturday bump I'm amazed I've not had interest on the spector

I think its an an add that is fit to purpose,to me it says .I have an ego,I want to play what I want call me and I will try to talk you into it..we have no material to listen to or links to any videos or band styles or influences but hey roll the dice.

Spector bump...mr bond.

Tim just purchased a bass from myself excellent communication, no hassle paid cash, Cheers Fella.

Sale Finalised on the tele, just the spector left.

I think for the fee which is nothing anyway nowadays its great value,also get to look at basses i can never afford but dream about which is nice in an if i win the lottery kind of way.Now buy my stuff *shakes fist*..

Monday bump

Bumpy

Bump

Hello all,

With a heavy heart I am reducing my collection of basses at present with two basses that are reliable and wont let you down.I am asking for cash and the buyer must collect as I don't drive I am based in stoke-on-trent,however I will provide a nice cup of tea and a cookie for your trouble.

*Sold* Fender Tele P, Massive sound and punch and sounded smooth as hell when I recorded an with it three months ago,looked after and as pristine as the day I had her.*Sold*

Spector P Korean I got her about 6 months ago second hand,sounds great and has some war scars that I have taken a picture of a dink on the neck (before me) Effects the sound in no way at all again £250 cash please..

That's it thanks for your time and I genuinely hope you enjoy these basses as much as I have..

Contact Thomann see what they say always worth a go,you may not be the only one who's suffered maybe a bad batch? Sadly not everything in life is perfect apart from playing bass thats just fine

I like em they work well with eachother to fill the gaps and have a chemistry thats rare nowadays.

Looks pretty have a bump where are you based btw ?

Have a bump on me these are great basses for starting out on and sound massive on recordings. A steal...

Just sold a Gibson Les Paul to him he came to collect top chap, paid cash excellent coms and superb beard.Deal in confidence any concerns I had about a first time seller quickly evaporated a credit to Basschat

It goes to 11.

I don't think you [i]have[/i] to spend 4 figures on a bass to get the right one for you. My current squeeze was put together for less than £400, and it's perfect. For me.

Western society ingrains in us the idea of aspirational purchasing - this x will make you better/faster/thinner/happy/sexually alluring/whatever because that's just the way it's been set up. Ultimately If you find an instrument that you can't walk past without picking it up then (regardless of cost) that is the instrument for you.

The cost of something doesn't necessarily represent its value.

+1 on this

Its all about what you like and the sound you are after, yeah its nice to spend cash on new toys but play before you pay
