GAS - Gear Acquisition Syndrome (Part 1)

My employer exploits me anyways! :rofl: Work insane amount of hours, nights, weekends, and I hate my job. It would be easier if I loved it. All going to come to an end here soon anyways. They are outsourcing all of our IT positions to India, where the exploitation can be tenfold!

Ok I’m blaming you lot in this forum!!!
I bought my first bass not so long ago, a Yamaha TRBX604, but I now have a second one. A Sire Marcus Miller P7 tobacco sunburst in swamp ash. I intend to keep the Yamaha in my practice space and the new Sire by my desk (I work from home) so I can just grab it for a few minutes practice without leaving my desk.

GAS struck again, new fruit :tangerine: in da house. Got me a new speaker, an Orange OBC-115 with a single 15" Eminence Kappa speaker. Tested it a few days now, superb sound and a tight response with a warm tone, but it can growl like a pack of wolves when needed.
Can be used as wrecking ball as well :wink: Love it!

That’s an awesome amp and it looks so good too.

Not for bass, but since some of us have guitars as well:

Only $50 today. (it’s still $50) Color is a little meh to me, but it’s not a bad price for what appears to be a good bag. Saw it on another forum/board.

I checked to be sure, and the bass version is on sale for $50, too!

I have a Fusion Urban and a Mono M80 for bass so I’m good or I’d probably get one of these XD

Someone on TalkBass showed me these @JoshFossgreen Coco’s Handmade Vegan Guitar Straps. They are lightly padded, and I was told that while not on the site, she can also do 3" wide straps.

Nice straps! I got a vegan one from Richter STRONGHOLD II Guitar Strap - Richter

It just got here. It feels like a couple of pounds lighter with the lightweight hardwares.

I got this in:

Anyone with an Ibanez Mikro that wants a nice gig bag, it fits very well into this thing (and probably most guitar gig bags tbh)

Also fits my SRC6; I can’t say about other short scale basses.
