musicfiend Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 You know how it works by now: No cure, causes mental derangment, HIGHLY contagous So what's YOUR gas right now? I'll start: Ive been dreaming of a Rob allen mb2 with spalt top, f hole, and all the usual fixins'. And in the long run, i really oughtta' get a pog and boss ls2 soon..but I'm in "save ur dang' money" mode right now. Hiram Bullock thinks I like the band volume too soft (but he plays guitar).

Cthulhu Fhtagn Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 No cure, but temporary relief... Picked up a MIDI drum set for really reasonable (Yami 8 piece, extra supports, DTXpress MIDI interface) and we needed to buy a throne. So we go to Music Machine to buy one and there's a '51 replica Fender hanging on the wall, almost half off. After my girlfriend told me several times to get it, I caved. Asked the clerk if I whined would he throw in a gig bag. So, I get a brand new 2004 MIJ Classic Reissue '51 P and a Fender delux gig bag for about 60% of list. Oh, and we did buy a Pearl throne for the drum set. Social Critic Pic #1 Social Critic Pic #2 Bean-O for the soul!

EddiePlaysBass Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 *sigh* My GAS was at an all time low, but then TylerLovesAva just HAD to mention the Fender Roscoe Beck Bass V and now I really really really want one ... That said, I am still negotiating with D\'Alegria about a 5 string Dart. Oh and a Warwick Corvette would be nice too But I don't really have GAS. Nope. Not me ... "I'm a work in progress."

_Sweet Willie_ Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 I'm basically content with all my gear. If pressed, though, a couple of items come to mind: Nordstrand NX5 fretless 5-string - mahogany body, Nordstrand dual coil p'up in MM position, passive electronics AccuGroove Tri112L cabinet One of a slew of various 2U, 20 lbs. or less heads (e.g., iAmp 800, Eden WT-550, Thunderfunk TFB550, etc.) Honestly, though, I'm really not GASsing all that hard at the moment. Peace. --SW spreadluv Fanboy? Why, yes! Nordstrand Pickups and Guitars. Messiaen knew how to parlay the funk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TylerlovesAva Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 things to help EPB's GAS: 1. the neck is finished, and is not as fast a other bass necks. 2. the pickups have low output (purposely). it is deabatable that this makes it sound better, but you really have to push the rig to cut through keyboards and guitars. 3. i've experienced some construction flaws, like both strapholders and the volume knob coming loose. it does have a myriad of tone options, and it records well, as i am currently tinkering with my zoom ps-04 4 track portable recorder, and have recorded with it in a studio. sorry, i know that was off-topic. i'd love one of these though. http://www.fbass.com/images/bn5-burl-top-full-57-2.jpg Insert clever, non-religious, unobtrusive sig here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerlovesAva Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 oh, and i love my fender roscoe beck 5-string bass, by the way (i think it found out i was ranting on it. i have to play tomorrow, 3 sets of 45 minutes. don't want it to act up).

Danzilla Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 GAS? No mater how happy I might be with my current set-up, it's always lurking around there somewhere... Wants: A fretless 5 string (it exists in my mind; just need to find the right luthier and of course the money) and/or Godin A5 more Piranha speakers to go with my Phil Jones Six-Pak (maybe the 9 or 16 speakers cabinets?) Needs: a new strap some more cables (Planet Waves or Lava Cables) More time to play what I have and to actually use my PC & Cubase to write/record More talent to play what I have Misc: a Godin Solidac guitar Unfortunately, all of these will have to wait a little while.

Davo-London Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Am I alone in not liking the look of the Rob Allen basses. I went through the entire website collection and couldn't find IMHO a single bass that looked aesthetically pleasing. Not meaning to be provocative just stating an opinion.

groover Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Well my Gas has been temporarily relieved by the recent purchase of a Boss ME-50B and a MXR M-80. I am very content with my 80's MIJ P-Bass and my defretted Yamaha BB300, however methinks a better 5 string is in order. Not that my OLP is all that bad, I'd just like something a bit better. Like a real Stingray perhaps? A better amp is also on the GAS list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
