It's the last few weeks of this year's abstinence thread and we've got @Bass Direct in here waving the wand of temptation at people. 

😂😂😂

 

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

Can recommend some nice local hotels

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! 😢

Pop in and have a play, no obligation... 😛

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

I’d say an end pin is under the ruling of a bass stand. Just checked my messages and last bass I bought was 2023! Unfortunately it’s not through lack of GAS though, so you must have a disease 😂

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  .

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? 🥺

Luca does a video play though of all his basses he’s built.

 

I was looking to change out the pickup for a Emg Gzr or a quarter pounder but honestly the stock pickup is decent! Measures 10.8k with alnico 5 magnets.

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.
