Members Navybass Posted October 9, 2005 Members Share Posted October 9, 2005 Well, my Cruise is almost over. I want to purchase something as a "Welcome Home to Me" gift. What should I get????? Here is my current gear lineup, Bass Gear; 1969 Fender Jazz Bass 1976 Fender Jazz Bass 1979 Peavey T-40 2005 Limited Edition Stingray Peavey 400 Series Bass Head EV 4x10 cabinet Behringer VAmp Pro Guitar Gear; 1972 Fender Stratocaster Ibanez IC400BK Iceman Gibson Flying V Gretsch Dual Jet Tacoma DM-9 Acoustic Vox AD120VTH Head Behringer 4x12 Cabinet I'm thinking of getting something bass related, like maybe another bass or bass amp. I was able to save some money on the cruise. Sorry, I won't buy anyone here anything. Depending on the outcome of this poll, we'll get into brands in the next poll.

Members burdizzos Posted October 9, 2005 Members Share Posted October 9, 2005 Alpha has a used Cirrus 6 that's been there for a while. They're asking $1300, but you could probably talk them down. I was considering it, but I got a redwood Cirrus 5 with a maple board for a few hundred less on the bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I was looking at that one before I left on the Cruise. I'll just have to talk to Seth and see what he can do for me. That's a good thought.

Members Thunderbroom Posted October 9, 2005 Members Share Posted October 9, 2005 After reading your list of gear, I'd say don't buy anything music-related and spend that extra cash on your wife and kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already have that covered. I got them a mess load of stuff when I visited all those foreign ports. I do plan on taking them out to eat when I get home though. Besides, the wife told me to get myself something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members oldivor Posted October 9, 2005 Members Share Posted October 9, 2005 I'd go for an amp personally. Maybe a V-4B or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually thinking of getting a blueburst 4003. Saw that color on their web site and was hooked. Originally posted by rikshaw buy some cheap ass drums. those are always fun Got that one covered. My drummer is going to sell me one of his sets for $50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Navybass Posted October 10, 2005 Author Members Share Posted October 10, 2005 Originally posted by syciprider Right, they sent back the whole battle group. We're not part of a battlegroup. We independent steam. We're too insignificant to be part of a battle group. The reason I called it a cruise is because we were in port more than we were out. we went to; Rota, Spain Augusta, Sicily Italy Taranto, Italy Gaeta, Italy Thesaloniki, Greece Vlore, Albania Split, Croatia Durres, Albania Bizert, Tunisia Haifa, Israel Cannes, France Naples, Italy Spent at least 4 days in each port. Some ports we visited more than once, and others we spent up to two weeks in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thumper Posted October 10, 2005 Members Share Posted October 10, 2005 Ahem. I noticed you don't have a Rickenbacker or Thunderbird in the fold yet. You'll want one. Or both. I added an Ibanez Musician bass, DeArmond M77T g**t*r and a Bassman 10 amp to the herd, all of which will be waiting for me when I get home from my Middle East Vacation next month. The wife got a new Wolf gas oven (she's a chef---it was HER idea...) The Black Lab from Hell will get lots of walks. BTW, welcome back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
