Delberthot Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I find that my gas is worst when the band isn't busy and I have a lot of time on my hands. I think it's because I forget how good everything sounds. I never play in the house unless it's to learn something new which is every week at the moment during the busy wedding season but from the end of October, excluding the Christmas run, until April I very rarely get my bass out to play. I actually find that if I don't play for a long time, when I do play I can play better than I did. Occasionally there are times that I change gear out of necessity like when I was finding my SR5 too heavy so sold it and bought a Sterling which is a lot lighter. Back in 2006-7 when I first joined Talkbs and Basschat it was always about trying out new stuff. I always say that I've had everything from A-Z apart from an Alembic and a Zon Some basses I've sold and later bought other identical ones because I wanted them to sound good so gave them another try. One thing I know is that I'm 100% sure I'll never buy another fretless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 (edited) Agree with the above post - when I'm not busy working with my band then have more time to browse for stuff. We have various 'layoffs' during the year, but I do manage to keep my hand in with pub gigs/deps. Just back into regular gigging again now, and it's feeling great. Restrung / cleaned my bass and the first night was a blast - surprising how a break can reinvigorate you. Also was considering changing my rig, but after these last few dates am going to stick with it. So a possible (temporary?) GAS cure for me.
