Just a word of advice, don't get one; not at all worth it. I had one when I first started playing bass (a salesman convinced me that I needed it.. :rolleyes: ). I used it for about a year, like a good little bass player. Then someone showed me how much better my rig could sound without it. I sold the POS a week later. SO don't need one of those... really.

DITTO! I'm pretty happy with what I have... Let others find happiness... :)

The list for the dreamer bassist in me: a new Fender Geddy Lee signature Jazz. It'd easily be my #1 instrument...for under $600! :eek:

 

The list for the realist bassist in me: dead solid reading skills. :idea:

 

What I really hope for: having my wife & kids around, & maybe a new pair of blue jeans. :thu: Corny, but true.

 

What I really deserve: coal, in lump, with no prospects of turning diamond. :D Also corny, but true!

I pretty much have the gear I need for now, but I'd love for someone to pay off the plastic I used to pay for it since I really can't afford the lifestyle I try to live. No one can say I'm not contributing to the economy!

Wow! In reading your post, I've just arrived at a profound conclusion.

 

The best things in life can't be given to you for Christmas.

 

Sure, someone could give you a Sadowsky bass and an Aguilar amp system, but playing skill is something that you have to give yourself with hard work, day after day, year after year.

 

In other words, without the gifts that you give to yourself, the gifts that others give have limited value.

The Black Knight always triumphs!

I'd have to say if I could pick one bass to be mine to put on a wish list it would have to be a custom Alembic Orion Bass. Four Strings, not too fancy, some exotic woods and shiny inlays.....oooooo yeah. That or an Epic 6. I want to start playing a six string, just cause, the low end B is so popular why not just have that and the top end too?

If you're ever looking for me,

a don't go too far.

Cause if you really wanna find me,

you know where I are...

with me and my bass guitar!

If you take away the shiny silver plate, and make it a lefty 4 string, it looks almost exactly like my bass down to the little curve at the bottom :)

 

Being only 3 months into bass, I'm not going to ask santa for anything. I figure Ill wait till next Xmas when I can more fully appreciate a bass wish list.

Now that Xmas is really almost here, I did put some bass specific stuff in my letter to Santa:

 

-EBS BassIQ envelope filter pedal

-Bartolini Classic Bass Series p'ups to go into my Carvin

-Private bass lessons at one of the local music schools

 

Of course the usual world peace, loving family and friends, healthy and happy new year, etc. were in the mix as well. ;):D

 

Peace.

Fanboy? Why, yes! Nordstrand Pickups and Guitars.

Pretty nice list Willie. Im jealous, what kind of Carvin do you have? And of course you cant forget all of the other stuff like what Willie mentioned at the end of his post. I want a Warwick Rock bass, or a Spector. I probably wont get one this X-mas, but maybe next time. By the way, my B-day is on January 11th, so e-mail me for my address to send those huge packages. :)

 

No...............I'm serious :evil:

 

Jdl-You still think I'm joking? You're crazy
