S&M - Dean Friedman

The final and true test of an abstainer’s mettle. 😬

I’ve been looking

I bought an end pin stand for my NS WAV4 and that’s it. I haven’t bought a bass, or anything else bass related (excluding the end pin stand), since Sept 23! 😢

I’d have to organise an overnight stay somewhere, it’s way too far for me to drive in one day now.

September ‘23 for me. I bought a classical guitar in early ‘24, but that’s it. It’s not like I don’t have GAS at all, far from it, but my will power is much improved. Well, that and being in the middle of nowhere, with no bass outlets less that a 90 minute drive, each way. There’s a Maruszczyk fretless P type at @Bass Direct that has caught my eye ( https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/maruszczyk-jake-4p-fretless-red-trans-gloss/ ), but that’s a 10 hour round trip drive at least (I have trade ins I’d need to do) and I’m also tempted by one of those SBMM Ray2s. Still 3 weeks to go to fall off of the wagon .

Name for a band - Paddington & the Hard Stares In this thread it could become Saddington…

Beyond the end pin stand for my EUB (tier 2 fair at best) I have bought nothing you can actually play. This means at least 2 years without any new instruments. What is wrong with me? 🥺

I’m a big fan of changing out pickups, but at this level I don’t think any tonal change would amount to anything worth noting. I like the colour, it’s different, without being outlandish, to my eyes.
