2022 Gear abstinence thread


bassfan

Recommended Posts

I’ve had a brush with being out. My cheap £30 bow has cracked in the frog (most weird ) (IN THE MIDDLE OF A 2 WEEK RUN OF SHOWS)

have ordered a replacement carbon fibre from Amazon which is a replacement but also a bit of an upgrade , in the mean time I’m going to have work out how to play a show using a French bow I’ve managed to scrounge from a friend …

 

the brush with being out was temptation to add extra things to my thomann basket 😂😂😂

As per usual my aim is to offload. I know I have the right gear for my needs so none of that is going anywhere, but depending on how the year & COVID goes I may well do a bit of buying & selling to try stuff out and for something to do.

Not to throw a spanner in the works, but I saw this and immediately thought of you:

I might be tempted to take part in this, though depends if my midibass I ordered in 2019 actually gets made and sent this year. I suspect the Shuker I started the order for last year but has yet to be given the final nod will disqualify me.

 

I had a good start and resisted the temptation to blow loads on a new synth on Monday even though I had a generous discount voucher. However, it might all fall apart if I cave and order a new Rhodes.

 

As for pedals etc., I get a fair few now for beta testing so don’t buy many. I only bought two all last year, and I sold one of those on within 24 hours (rather than returning it).

I’ll add you in!

That definitely says Punk-u-lator. Probs just ped defacing it with his initial. 

You should wash your mouth out with soap and water !! 😂

I haven't the foggiest what that is or what it does but that looks cool as. I would buy that just to sit on a shelf as a conversation piece.

 

Funny you should say that - apparently exactly how they are typically used...😁

Can I ask? Is anyone left?! I'm certainly not 😂

I'm still in, feeling pretty good and probably worth a small wager to win it this year 💪:D
