2025 Gear Abstinence Thread

I'm happy with the main stuff - instruments, amps, cabs etc - that I've had for probably 10 years, and I've enough plectrums, strings etc to see me out I reckon.

 

So unless a new battery for a clip-on tuner counts...I'm still in.

Don't forget, you mustn't have the clip-on tuner clipped on while on stage, or the Basschat Taste Police will be down on you like a ton of bricks. And I advise against mentioning buying a music stand.

I’m out I’m afraid

Sorry to hear that.  When and how?

[Lozz196]

Can’t remember exactly, quite proud of myself that I’m sure it wasn’t the day after I said I was in though.

I had been looking for a bat winged Harmony for some years , and had also told myself that I was not going to import any more guitars from the US. When it happens , it happens. I love this bass , it’s a classic thumper.

I've just seen the new Ibanez Prestige range. This thread is keeping me honest.

 

<repeat>

I don't need a new bass, I've fixed mine.

Updated @Lozz196's status.

Also removed @Oliver bowen, who was never part of the thread in the first place but got added to the P31 update in error. He would be wondering why he has a second mention in a topic he has no interest in if he had actually visited the forum since he joined in 2024. 

 

Maybe we should start a "BC Abstinence Thread" for such people?

A 'BC Absence Thread', if you will? 🙂
