AntLockyer Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I'm thinking of selling a bass that I very very rarely use (but love) so I can buy an amp head. Now this on the face of it seems quite sensible. That's until you realise I already have an amp head and it has had less use than said bass as most of the time I just take my combo out with me. Having just turned down a very regular gig where the new head would have been perfect also feeds into the madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twincam Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I say sell the bass, buy the amp head. Then if you regret it you have learnt a life lesson and if you don't regret it then good. I always go and do what i please which is mainly why i live a life of regrets and lessons haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMech Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Why not sell the bass, old head AND the combo and invest all the takings in a lovely new head + cab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntLockyer Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 Ooh I like the idea of selling all the unused kit and consolidating. The really perverse part of all of this is the head I want I've never actually heard! Consumerism at its very worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discreet Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 We need to know which bass, amp head and combo you already have, and which amp head you want to buy! With pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntLockyer Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) that would end up too much like a for sale ad and I'm not going down that route the stuff in red is hardly used, the rest is used daily, I'd really like a Aguilar TH500 [b]Basses I own[/b] 1962 Precision 2008 precision [color=#ff0000]CV Jazz 1980 Aria SB1000[/color] [b]Amp stuff I own[/b] [color=#ff0000]Harley Benton 500 watt head Genz Benz 212 Neo cab[/color] TC BG250 combo [b]Peda[/b]l[b]s[/b] [color=#ff0000]Demeter Compulator MXR Filter Tech21 Bass DI Vox Phaser Big Muff Pearl OD-05[/color] Edited June 24, 2014 by AntLockyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) We can probably infer the situation from that list! But surely you can tell us which amp head you want to buy? Edited June 24, 2014 by discreet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] You could eradicate the time and effort wasted by GAS and just buy one decent serviceable amp and bass - then simply throw fifty-pound notes down the toilet for a few weeks.
