Members bassplayer7770 Posted November 28, 2005 Members Share Posted November 28, 2005 I think I bought the Eden CX110 this year, but I'm sure I bought the Sterling this year. Eden CX110 - I sold a GS112 and bought this to add punch to my sound, and it worked, but I'd like to have a good 4 ohm 410 eventually because I struggle with volume in some live situations. Sterling - Frickin' NICE! This things looks, plays, and sounds great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members PrestiaRules Posted November 28, 2005 Members Share Posted November 28, 2005 2001 N.O.S. Gibson T-Bird - Natural Finish...love it, looks great and sounds great...lucked out on the QC apparently as I can't spot any flaws Greco P-Bass - I have gushed enough about it...I will limit comments to mentioning that it has healed the wound left by my stolen Bob Glaub (Skyline) Dr. Bass 2x10 and 1x15 from NoLogic. Only got a few hours in on them when I was home for the holidays....liked what I heard Behringer Sans Amp knock off - does what I needed well enough Tubeworks Blue Tube Bass Driver Pedal - me rikee!! Ibanez PhatHead distortion pedal - fun Pandora Bass and Digital Recorder - they both fit the bill perfectly. Pandora is a good practice tool and the recorder has done exeactly what I needed in a portable east to use recorder...likely not using them to their potential but I like them good year.....now just to get that Tacoma.....

Members takeout Posted November 28, 2005 Members Share Posted November 28, 2005 Rickenbacker 4003 Jetglo - the one, the only. Fender Geddy Lee Jazz body, fully loaded. I can't not have a Fender in the rack. Fender 70's reissue neck, rosewood with MOP blocks - should be showing up on my doorstep today. Tama ImperialStar drums, used. Best non-bass-related $300 I ever spent. GAS for the New Year will consist of tools, a decent guitar, and speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMS Author Craig Vecchione Posted November 28, 2005 CMS Author Share Posted November 28, 2005 Hmmm, okay.... 12u Amp rack QSC RMX2450 Audix D-6 Mic stand and cables for above. Furman ME-something power thingy. Turbosound 12" floor wedges (x2), bought and returned same week. Fender MIA Precision Bass. Traded in MIM Jazz. Sold off Lexicon MPX-110 to my guitarist. Hated the interface. No replacement bought yet. Considering a TC M-One. Tascam CDBT1 bass trainer, bought new for (only!) $80 at NSL, gave CDGT1 to my daughter. Whirlwind snake, bought used cheap to completely rebuild, ongoing project. Beta-tested a Crest Performance CP-32 mixing console from April to September. Liked it, but couldn't justify even the deeply discounted purchase price. Still holding out for an A&H GL2400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sheepdog Posted November 28, 2005 Members Share Posted November 28, 2005 Ken Smith Design (KSD) 70s Jazz 5 string bass (used for $550 shipped) best deal on a 5 string jazz bass I have ever seen. Excellent bass. Good preamp, good fit and finish. Perhaps not by only dream bass, but certainly one of my dream basses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sultan417 Posted November 28, 2005 Members Share Posted November 28, 2005 Stuff ive kept: ESP Viper STD - Awesome!Ampeg SVT-CL - Again AwesomePeavey 6505+ and matching 4x12 - For high gain stuff its perfect, not too expensive either. The rest:Jackson Christian Olde WolbersIbanez RGT-42Gibson Flying V All were bought cheap and sold cheaper. They all started out great, and started to break, and get damaged way too easily. The Gibson was a total wash and cost me and extra $300 for a new nut, pickups and electronics because they were all terible, the nut and electronisa broke and the pickups sucked. Its been a pretty lax year for me gearwise. Im usually going through stuff really fast and selling it for tonal reasons. The only things i sold this year, the 3 guitars were sold out of structural concerns. Later this year ill be getting a small reliable 1x12 combo with and XLR for church worship and home use. Next year im going to get a new fretless (maybe a Pedulla) and a second Peavey 6505 4x12. If i dont get a Pedulla ill get matching MM Stingrays.

Members gbassman100 Posted November 28, 2005 Members Share Posted November 28, 2005 Steinberger Spirit: loved the sound and the weight, couldn't get used to the neck. Sold on ebay for about what I paid for it. Genz Benz GBE400: its on ebay right now. I like it a lot but I'm revamping my amp setup and sound and need some more funds. Hey, $350 buy it now, jump on it (includes sturdy GB case). G&L L2000 Tribute. It's a keeper, love the feel and the tone. I should say tones. '81 Fender Bullet bass: what a great little bass. I've ordered a new pickguard (in antique pearl) and a Muy Grande P pickup I plan to install, make it into a light weight P bass. It's short scale and the neck has a fantastic feel to it, very fast and comfortable. I'll keep the old pickguard and pups in case I want to put it back in original configuration. I'll need to rout the cavity about a quarter inch wider. Oh yeah, a Zoom MRS802 8 track digital recorder with built in CD burner and drum machine. A fantastic recorder, it beats the Boss BR8 hands-down. I've found I just don't need a big amp rig. My Ashdown EB with a 12" speaker works fine for small gigs, and on the bigger gigs I run a line out to PA anyway. I figure why tote all that gear just to have a big monitor on stage. My next big investment will be a higher quality light-weight combo, maybe the Roland D-Bass or Mesa Walkabout Scout, I'm looking at the options.

Members niomosy Posted November 28, 2005 Members Share Posted November 28, 2005 Fodera Imperial 5 (finished paying for it and received it this year... though most of the $$ was put down last year). I love my bass So nice to play EA iAmp 800. A used 600 and I clicked right away so I bought the 800. Good stuff! Bergantino HT322. This came recommended by several forumites, including Jugghaid. The damn thing's heavy but it sounds so nice I'll definitely have to get into shape if I ever started jamming or gigging as it's upstairs Rockstand 5-guitar stand. Great for cleaning up the clutter of my lesser guitars and bass (the nice ones stay in their cases for a quick escape in case of an earthquake).

The cab and amp were a pretty hefty amount but not super insane. It was a good gear year, though. Not a BOALG year or anything but.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
