HowieBass Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 At least you can start by selling one for which you have the least attachment and see how you feel about reducing the collection by one; if it doesn't feel like much of a loss then onto the next...

Paul S Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Sell anything you can replace. You can't buy memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 T-40s aren't rare but ones with all original parts and fully working are a bit more so. I've had this one a few years so replacing it with someone else's later wouldn't be the same. Thanks for everyone's views so far ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote][quote name='Machines' timestamp='1390557163' post='2346689'] [b]G&L L-2000 [/b]Tribute Carved Top - Bought from BassDirect in 2010. HUGE sound and cuts through the mix, does everything I need itto. Stunning looks and I know it's a great piece of kit. G&L are very underrated and I like having something that's a bit of a 'well kept secret' in the bass world. [/quote] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 The T-40 should go IMO. If you're not going to use it at rehearsal, then it forces you to have another bass. Sell it. After that, it's down to emotional issues, but I'd keep the G+L anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UglyDog Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 [quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1390557615' post='2346698'] I'd keep the workhorses - the G&L and the P. [/quote] Those are the two I'd sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 None of them, in fact I reckon you need a couple more! [gas] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jezzaboy Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I would keep the L2000 and the P bass. The L2000 cause it is possibly the most versatile bass around. The P bass I would keep as every bass player should have one. Or mabye 2..... I have found out over the years that there is times when only a P bass will do.

Machines Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 An update ! I traded the G&L for a Spector. I'm glad I'm a man of conviction. I'm likely to now lose the Precision, T-40 and Variax (or 2 of these) as I don't play 4 strings in my band so 3 is excessive. Am eyeing up an MTD Artist 5 to replace 2 of them perhaps.

Chiliwailer Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Sounds like a fair trade, those 3 for a MTD. Also, the two basses your cool Dad got you still go towards it which is nice. Best thing I ever did was streamline my basses. That doesn't stop me from buying new ones due to GAS or experiments, but I also operate a policy whereby each have to 100% justify why they are being kept - there can be no doubts!!! p.s. Congrats on the birth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Here I am a year later, time allowed me to tell what I really wanted. I've sold the Variax (for a good profit) and am also selling the T-40 (at a loss unfortunately). Before selling either though I acquired a Spector Q6 Pro, I used to have one about 8 years ago and regretted selling it. When one popped up at Bass Direct in the same rare finish (holoflash) i just [b]had [/b]to have it. I did a trade for the L-2000 and yes I do miss it a bit, but am happier overall with what i've gained. The T-40 is a tone machine, but I just can't see it sat there not being used a lot compared to the others. I'm hoping to buy a Warwick Corvette Pro series with the proceeds when it sells (one I tried at Bass Direct which I really connected with). We're in a better position financially than I expected with the little one so I don't really need to sell anything, it's just GAS (it always get you eventually).

The Badderer Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 ..... time to sell the Lakland.... to me??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 If you've got a Lakland, why would you play anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Hahaha you jokers. The Lakland is going nowhere ever. I'm trying to think of something I'd give it up in place of. No results found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I would keep the T40, the Precision & the Lakland. Regardless of the above, I would definitely sell the Variax lol Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
