Born 2B Mild Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 On Saturday, it will have been four weeks which has been the longest stretch since mid summer. My band no longer even roll their eyes when I introduce "this week's bass". ...but I have posted a [i]Wanted [/i] on BC yesterday (for a 5-string electro-acoustic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low End Bee Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 My name is LEB and I am a gasaholic I haven't had a bass since September 2008 Then again I haven't had any disposable wedge since then either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 12 years, kind of made up for it afterwards though. I'm pretty settled where I am at the moment although I've still got a hankering for a custom graphite necked 5 string... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveK Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I am embarrassed to say, it's been 30 years since I actually [i]bought[/i] a bass (Aria SB1000). Been fortunate enough to have been given a few in that time though. To ease my embarrassment, I should add that I have a Stingray 5 on order (3 months to deliver ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eight Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 2 or 3 months I think - so I'm about due for a new one. I've averaged one bass every 3 months this past 12. Then there's the amps, cabs, pedals etc. Oh god. It's a scary thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon as I had a job and some moneyI bought a Ric 4003! It's been downhill ever since... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martthebass Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Until I Joined this site I stuck with the same MM Ray for 15 years (tho I did add a backup Mex Jazz during that time). I think I've bought/sold probably 15 basses since joining Bassworld..... This place has been a bad influence on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzaboy Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 When I started playing bass, I bought a Squire P bass special and payed, wait for it, £230 and that was around 9 years ago! Didnt buy much for the first few years, so went about 3 or 4 years with the Squire, then another 1 or 2 over the next few years and after a while joined this site....... Bought umpteen basses this year and the latest escapade is scary. I haven`t been working for the last few weeks and even sold my Stingray. So I am basically skint. Today I recieved a wee cheque from the inland revenue (I know, they will want it back soon), went down to guitarguitar to buy a new stand. Do you know what`s coming... Ended up buying a s/h, as new US 08 P bass. GAS strikes again!!!! Jez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgraham Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 (edited) 4 years I think? I had a spate of chopping and changing in the last two (bought one, sold it, bought another, now selling my old workhorse). Things are slowing down now. I just want to get rid of the excess ones I have at present. Edited November 13, 2009 by mcgraham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MythSte Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Hmm, since i joined this site... omm, Well. I had my jazz for about 3 months before buying a rather nice P a few weeks ago... :blush: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Five years whilst away from this site and I managed to go years without before I had the web. I'm back on these pages now so it's a good year for the shopkeeper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
