Belazaras Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 My black Fender P 78. Originally sunburst, was used by Dee Dee Ramone in Argentina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bc_dup1 Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 I played a grand total of 5 gigs in 2004. Difficult in the circs to decide whether gear acquired was a good idea or not, because it was not actually gigged. Main adquisitions were Fender Jazz 70s Reissue, Roland V-Bass and Digitech BP-8. I really need to gig more in 2005, maybe even if it means retro rock cover bands (the easiest gigs to find around here and the main ones I get offered, but a long way from what interests me musically). Hopefully my funk project will get off the ground and that won't be necessary....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraub Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Cheapest: Morley Vol/Wah/Dist pedal, $30.00. Most satisfying: Avatar SB112, seriously, stupidly good for the money spent. Most useful: The Amp That Shall Be Nameless, 300 watts, sounds really, really good with the Avatar, sounded pretty good on a recent gig through an Ampeg 8x10 with no soundcheck, too. Cost me almost nothing, and it's easy to replace... Peace, wraub I'm a lot more like I am now than I was when I got here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy c Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 I bought WAY too much gear this past year. But leading the list are my AccuGroove cabinets. I also am very happy with my Loooper pedal and my rackmounted led vu display. And there were a lot of other things, too. I'm hoping to keep things under better control this year.

getz out Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 My best buy was either my Kern IP-777 preamp or Peavey DPC-1400X poweramp. Both were sub $500 shipped. I've paired them up for a sub-$900 ultra light, high-powered hi-fi rig. I got a good deal on that Eden WT-330, new. And that used SWR Workingman's 15 - killed on that deal. Couldn't refuse. And that Nemesis 210P. I'm not thrilled to death with my Avatar B212, but it was a solid purchase. I'm spoiled with some of my other gear. And then I bought that Ampeg B100R and Warwick Corvette 4 for $300 used and flipped them for about $1k on ebay. That was a GREAT buy. My favorite 2004 addition is the mini-stack of doom, the Bergantino HT112+EX112. The MOTU 828mkII is treating me well. With my ADAT-compatible 8-channel preamp, I get a total of 18-simultaneous channels of recording. I'm digging on the new Peavey mains I purchased. Great speakers for the money. Plenty loud. I got a killer deal on an older USA 850 QSC poweramp. 800 solid, solid watts for about $100. Only problem is it is 3 spaces and about 40 lbs. My lady-friend bought me an incase Slim Bag for Christmas. It rocks. I bought myself an incase Tourbag in 2003. The Slim Bag makes daily transport a bit easier. Makes sense for rehearsals and gigs. I'll save the tourbag for the tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

57pbass Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 I forgot to mention I also purchased an SWR Goliath 4 ohm 4 x 10 cab off Ebay. www.danielprine.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicfiend Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 My best gas sound wise would be the aguilar db 750 and gs 210 cab i got. Of course the only reason i was able to make the purchase was because of ridiculously low prices (thank you mr. ebay and mrs. bass northwest ). But the smartest purchase was the rackbag i bought for the aguilar. Frickin 43 punds and 3 rackspaces!!!!!!!!! How could i not. I picked up the head and about 10 minutes later i HAD to pick up that rackbag.....because I'm a wuss that's never owned any ampeg fridges . And I'm currently in the process of purchasing a veillette mk4 fretless bass, which will be my best, first, and only purchase of 2005....yep GAS is a cruel mistress. Hiram Bullock thinks I like the band volume too soft (but he plays guitar). Joe Sample thinks I like it way too loud (but he plays piano). -Marcus Miller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edendude Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 For me it would be a toss-up between my chrome red/maple neck/black pick-guard American Series Fender Jazz Bass ($800 US), and/or my Eden D210MBX speaker cab ($300 US). Both were great deals, and both have proved themselves as sources of a lot of musical joy in performance. My Last Band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Hoffman Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 Wow, I see a lot of cool aquisitions this is kind of like the GAS greatest hits over here. I was thinking about how to get more power and headroom out of my SVT-3 so I think I'm going to look into preamps...that might be the next GAS...
