dohhhhh6 Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Woot! I got my Avatar Neo B210 Friday!!! First off, I wasn't too impressed with the sound at first. It sounds somewhat bland, but extremely solid. I'm not sure how it is cranked, but I'm sure it'll manage . I am a bit worried as when I'm playing loud bedroom-practice-wise and really dig in at the pickup, the speakers make a somewhat hideous noise. I don't hear distortion (I think), so all seems fine. But you know what the greatest thing about it is? I can't possibly think of anything that really want badly right now. I have a rig that's a small step below my dream rig, my bass sounds good, I have cables (though I want one of those 8 inch speaker cables), I mean, what more do I need? A seperate D.I.? A new bass? Effects? Those would all be pretty cool, but I'm not really feeling a want to spend money on bass, which is awesome as I broke the pig paying for that speaker. All GASed out... and it feels AWESOME!!! Just thought I'd share the feelin'. LadY In Skynyrd We Trust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Kewl..... but don't worry.... GAS only goes into temporary remission... there is no cure and it will recur.... BCR's homepage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edendude Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Wish I could say the same! This damn thing is haunting me relentlessly... http://www.spectorbass.com/images/euro/Euro4LX_naturaloillrg.jpg But to good hear you're happy with the new rig. Let us know how the cab sounds once you've fired it up at gig volume. My Last Band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc taz Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 I want your cab... Heh, not really. But I hope you break a few legs with that one! If the world were a perfect state of utopia, I could get away with a SVT classic head, a P bass, and 2 15' speaker cabs. *goes to restroom to relieve...* sevenstring.org profile my flickr page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike H. Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 I was GAS free for a long time. Now I've got the itch for a jazz bass again....I don't need any other items to help me scratch the itch either. http://www.identity5.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCunha Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Enjoy the new cab. You will have GAS soon trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxofunk Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 I was doing rather well until I found this at American Musical Supply: http://www.americanmusical.com/images/b/p28693b.jpg Then, the local Godin dealer received their first order of these: http://www.godinguitars.com/04t/freewaybass.jpg The four string is very nice.

getz out Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Matt, I noticed that Yamaha head as well the other month in Bass Player. Further research revealed less than stellar output, though. It's no Walter Woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 I'm in a good place right now, too. I have 2 good basses, a nice rig, and am gigging occasionally. It might be nice to have some nice cables, but really, for now I am not "activly" looking for anything. We'll see how long it lasts...for you and me!

getz out Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Dig the sig, Steve! Good cables? You should always have good cables. Good cables don't always mean extremely expensive. I've been happy with my Planet Waves. I use a total of three 21' cables. Bass to pedalboard, pedalboard to amplifier. I carry a spare. They were reasonably priced (mid-$30 range). George L's as interconnects for the pedals. $40 for the kit. I use short 12ga. speaker cables (two are Monster banana->Speakon and two are homegrown Speakon->Speakon). Not cheap, but not outrageously expensive, either. Interconnects for my Demeter->Stewart are Monster 12" cables. Reasonably priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy c Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 I mean, what more do I need? I feel like this at least once every six months. Congratulations on completing (at least temporarily) your rig. Free download of my cd!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moot Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 You're a lucky man, Lady!(?) I have never been GAS free. My goal is to have 3 complete rigs - right now I stand at 1 1/2. I need another rack and 5 string to be at my goal. The problem is, my wife doesn't get it. The only way I'm gonna get 5 string #3 is with her life insurance money.

... Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 It won't last... it never does. The GAS will return, oh yes, it will return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Sweet Willie_ Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Word. Congrats. I was feeling that way. Then I went to Bass Player Live. The GAS is back, but at least the Fish o' Luv is under construction... whew! And, BP Live was also excellent inspiration to practice. Hmmmm, time to go try the 4-finger plucking style that Matt Garrison demonstrated. That's a whole other kind of GAS. Peace. --SW spreadluv Fanboy? Why, yes! Nordstrand Pickups and Guitars.
