SumOne Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 What are your best music purchase of 2022? For me it has been an MPC One. It's almost too good as it has seriously dented my Bass practice time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bay Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Boss Gx100, amazing bit of kit and stupidly good value when you consider what it does. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Epiphone J-200 EC acoustic guitar. My first mid-priced acoustic, only ever had beginner grade before, really makes a difference having a decent instrument. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad3353 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 A second-hand Millennium MPS-850 e-drum kit, still boxed, and at a splendid price. A very nice kit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickD Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Finally went for a Double Bass. Drove up to Scotland and made a weekend of it, met some great folks in the process (as appears to be the Basschat way) and haven't stopped wrestling with the damn thing since. It also appears to have killed my GAS, to the extent that I think I'll be paring down the bass guitars a bit next year. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Browning Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 I think mine will be my Greco PB450. It's inexpensive, has got the wrong name on the headstock but it's a really nice instrument. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafbass02 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 My laser stomp was pretty amazing for the solo gigs, that and my SR300 purely for the colour! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyb625 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Origin Effects BassRig. Definitely the best purchase I made, with the Cali 76 close behind for a brilliant small touring board. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msb Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Two amps I picked up on kijiji, I saw the SWR right after it was posted , the seller was only asking for a hundred bucks. It’s a nice little amp , 400 watts at 4ohms. Everything works perfectly. Great deal. And a Darkglass E500 , a completely different thing. Using the software Darkglass has made you have a choice of 22 effects and pedals , you can design , save and store presets you create. I’ve been mostly playing around with the E500, it’s a hoot to create presets. And I’m getting better at it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Blank Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 @Jabba_the_gut is building me a matching pair of short scale basses, fretless and fretted. The first one, the fretless, was, by a country mile, my best purchase of 2022, of my entire bass playing life, actually... 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggaebass Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 I’ve had a few in and out but probably my favourite is the jazz elite bought in February 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterMute Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Without doubt the ACG Krell fretless, what a fine bass it is. Honourable mention to the Quad Cortex, in any other year a hands down winner. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neepheid Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 (edited) Me personally? Nothing. Mrs. Neepheid bought me a Reverend Triad so it has to be that. What a shame Edited December 24, 2022 by neepheid 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lo-E Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 A dear friend (and great bassist) who lives in a small Manhattan apartment called me during the summer to ask if I wanted to buy his 1967 Ampeg SB-12. He had realized that, with his bad back, he had only used his lightweight rig for the past several years and he didn’t want the Ampeg to languish in his closet. He offered it to me at a very generous price and, naturally, I said yes. To be honest, this was the best purchase of the last several years. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassbiscuits Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 A toss up between my Cali76 compressor I got in March, and the Yamaha FG512SJ acoustic I picked up in October for absolutely peanuts. Both immediately became my go-to bits of kit which is always a good sign. (Yammy pictured here with my Crafter electro acoustic). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_lefty Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 (edited) Tough one... I'm going to say my Darkglass Duality Fuzz pedal. I was never really one for fuzz, having only had it on multi fx pedals and never really needing it. The last year I've played a lot more modern music and guitar versions of pop songs so the fuzz has become essential for replicating synth tones, especially with a boss OC-2 in front. The Duality is a great pedal, there's so much flexibility in what you can get from it, including a soft and subtle fuzz sound which I've never been able to find before. It was, of course, bought on the BC Marketplace too. Honourable mentions: ABM600 amp head, Sire V9 five string bass, Harley Benton jaco-alike fretless jazz which I've barely touched as it arrived on the day I went away on a work trip.

BlueMoon Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 For me it was my Buzz Hornet unlined fretless P bass. Superb instrument. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 I have two, possibly three contenders. A Retrovibe Faker and an Epiphone Thunderbird Classic Pro. Both completely different to my beloved precisions but in a good way and have joined the rotation cycle for use at gigs The third is a bitsa '54 Precision that I suspect will usurp many once I have finished fettling. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
