Recommended Posts

OUT:

Eden Nemesis NA320
Trace Elliot 2103H
Trace Elliot 1153
Trace Elliot V-Type 4x8 combo
Status Groove 5 string

IN:
Trace Elliot V-Type 4x8 combo (er, it only lasted 6 months, OK?!!)
Trace Elliot V-Type 4x8 cab
Hartke LH500
Ibanez SB7 synth pedal


2009 should bring about the other V-Type combo going, the 4x8 cab going, and a couple of new 1x15s coming in (eventually to be replaced by 2 that I'm going to build... it's been over 6 months since I cooked that plan up)

Well, quite a lot of movement much of it thanks to Basschat.

OUT
1961 Gibson EBO. Surplus to requirements and no doubt it has a better home with a collector.
Stagg EUB. I'm sure Linus is having a ball with this, but perhaps I should have kept it for the odd jobs.

IN
Whole lot of AI and Wizzy stuff from Overwater. Most of it arrived on my birthday and was a revelation. It is now my gear of choice - mostly.
EA iAmp 500. Very nice and still getting to grips with the eq and tone shaping section. More use to come.
Wizzy CXL cab. Never used it - too bloody heavy.
Steinberger EUB I don't use it as much as I thought I would: I just prefer the natural sound of the double bass. And when I want to take it to a house party gig (to save URB getting knocked about by pissed guests) the host/ess says 'Oh but we want a proper double bass'.
ATM350 clip on mic. Working on this - lots of potential.

Oh, and out Ford Focus Estate: goodby to a great warhorse, out much cherished Merc CLK AMG coupe, in my possession for nine years from new and in a new Merc C220D AMG estate.

Happy New Year to all basschatters.

I had a few money-related "issues" this year so I had to offload a few things, and also downsize my amp to find space for it in the flat I moved into in September, but for the first time in ages I'm making decent money and have actually got my arse in gear to set some aside so I can buy a new Precision in a couple of weeks time. My list has been "narrowed down" to 3-4, so I'm heading into Glasgow city centre on Saturday to try before I buy.

Oh dear, this makes rather worrying reading (good job the wife doesn't look here!).

I have a bit of a multi trade set up for tomorrow which I've included in this:

Basses +2
[b]In[/b]
Lakland Joe Osborn DPLE
Sadowsky NYC
Status Electro
Warwick Infinity [i](up for sale very soon)[/i]
Roscoe SKB
Esh Custom
MTD 535
StingRay
Overwater Jazz

[b]Out[/b]
Modulus VJ
Modulus Flea
Rickenbacker 4001
Kubicki Key Factor
StingRay
Roscoe SKB
Status Electro

Guitars +1
[b]In[/b]
Fender Strat (included because I traded it for a Euphonic Combo and haven't got round to selling it yet!)

Amps & Cabs +5
[b]In[/b]
EBS Fafner
EBS 2x10
EBS 2x12
EBS 2x100 power amp
MarkBass Mini CMD 112
MarkBass Traveller 1x15
Ampeg SVT II [i](up for sale very soon)[/i]
Ampeg SVT 1510E [i](also up for sale soon)[/i]
Eden VT.40 [i](probably up for sale)[/i]
Eden 4x10
Euphonic Audio iAmp 350C
Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0
Genz Benz Shute 3.0 10T
Bergantino AE112 x2
Epifani PS600

[b]Out[/b]
EBS Fafner
EBS 2x10
EBS 2x12
Euphonic Audio iAmp 350C x2
Euphonic AUDIO CXL12
Trace Elliot V-Type Pre Amp
MarkBass Mini CMD 112
MarkBass Traveller 1x15
Eden 4x10

Bits & bobs +12
[b]In[/b]
Planet Waves pedal tuner
Samson rackmount wireless
MXR Bass Auto-Q
EBS Multi-Drive
EBS BassiQ
EBS Dynaverb
Tascam BT1
Auralex Gramma
Quicklok stool & a few stands

My net gain therefore stands at:
2 basses
1 guitar
5 amps/cabs
12 accessories

However by the time I've had a bit of a clear out I could easily drop to one bass & a couple of cabs. The biggest difference however is in the overall monetary value of what I'll be left with. Pretty serious upgrades all round :)

Been a busy year gear-wise:

[b]OUT[/b]

Double bass (as I decided on going for the ACG 9)
Fender '51 RI (another sacrifice for the ACG 9, but a really cool bass !)
Trace Elliot SMX350 (no use to me as I can't gig anyway !)
Mesa-Boogie Road-Ready 1x15 (same reason as above)
Fender Urge Mk1 (now in a studio down south)


[b]IN[/b]

Jackson PC1 (a joyful return - long story)
James Tyler 4 string (bought sight-unseen from The Gallery. Every bit as good as the hype)
Ovation Elite 12 string electro-acoustic guitar (bought whilst on honeymoon !)
Taylor GS 6 string acoustic guitar (wife bought it for me whilst on holiday with her friend !)
Dean Rhapsody 12 string bass (bought from Scoop this thing takes no prisoners !)


[b]COMING SOON[/b]

CS2 Cajon from Cajon Direkt (it ain't just a box !)
ACG 9 string (this is going to be simply awesome !)


I told my wife I have a New Year's resolution to not buy any new gear in '09. For some reason she just laughed at me.....

A quiet year on the gear front despite one of my best years for gig income. I'm pretty happy with my rig at the moment so most of my gig money was spent on lighting gear this year.


In :
Shure PSM200 In Ear Monitors
Sennheiser Freeport Wireless
3U Rack Case for the above and Mark Bass LM II
Fender P Bass Special

A whole load of DMX lighting, DMX controller, winch up stands etc

Out :

Happy New Year to all Bass Chatters !

Reading this thread has made me feel so much better about my plastic card bill that has just come today with quite a bit of this years acquisitions on ... because my GAS is obviously well under control it seems.

IN this year was...

1957 Gibson ES 225
1939 Gibson ES 150 'Charlie Christian'
Late 1930s ('38 0r '39) Gibson EH 150 amp (still works fine!)

OUT this year was...

Nothing (my mantra is 'you buy instruments - you don't sell 'em!')
