Phill Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I’d like to finally give this a go! I’ve got an Overwater coming this month but paid for last year so 😂 Wish us all luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted January 1 Author Share Posted January 1 I've had a great, super grown up idea! Every time I'm tempted to buy some gear, I'll take the money I was going to spend on gear and chuck it into my mortgage as an overpayment instead. Then I can't use that cash to buy gear and it stops burning a hole in my pocket and does something actually useful... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i recall it was 65w but very, very loud. NIce. 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozkerr Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 OK, I'm in, if only because we're planning on moving house this year and any spare cash will have to go towards that. Hopefully I'll manage a bit longer than I did last year (out before the end of January). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyb625 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Count me in! There's nothing I need, or particularly want, which means I'll no doubt be out by March... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I'm in for the Tier 1 challenge. I know I'm going to fail Tier 2 as I'm after a MIDI controller keyboard. Might be worth a reference to the rules: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHM Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 count me in, my gear is a lean and slick set up, can't see any changes unless something breaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sell away, it's all about the lack of gear coming in rather than what's going out the door.

Downunderwonder Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 7 hours ago, neepheid said: Depends what it is. My thinking is if it's bass specific (bridge, pickups, tuners, neck, body, pickguard) then it's gear and you're out. If it's not bass specific - wire, solder, pots, jack socket etc. then it's OK? Eh, ultimately it's all a bit of fun so don't get too hung up on it. I have already collected everything to build a rehearsal cab aside from paint. I think I shall give myself a pass. Not buying any more ampy gadgets is the goal. Not buying any more basses should be no problem at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a hardware store sundry household item. I'm making a pedalboard and I'll need some form of anti-slip material for the bottom. I'm not recusing myself for that, so I don't see why you should either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibob Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I’m in this year from the perspective of spending ‘new’ money (baby daughter arrives in 2-3 weeks!!), but I’m not ruling out buying something after selling something……I’ve got a couple of ideas haha.

miles'tone Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I'm in. Again. Never made it past the finish line ever, don't think I've made it past summer ever actually. Summer gets me all giddy and my impulsiveness definitely reaches it's annual peak during those months. I've never consciously realised this before so maybe I'm in with a shot this year. Maybe...

mr zed Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Yep - I’ll have another go this year. 2nd time lucky! Already got more than I need so should be easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
