Yep I can totally dig what you’re feelings of dealing with people @John_E and @Wombat-metal .
I would really like to continue my bass cull but can’t be dealing with idiots

It’s not bad in general. I figure it’s a business because I’m price to make small profits. I gotta have thick skin for that. Plus the bad ones are funny’s few days after it happens. Nice story to pass along.
It’s much better option than the alternative like OfferUp, usually reserved for cheap stuffs. It seems a like no one wants to spend more than. 100 on anything, lol.

Here’s my current GAS list…
EarthQuaker Devices Plumes Small Signal Shredder Overdrive Pedal
Earthquaker’s tube screamer clone. @T_dub confirmed it works well with bass. I want to stack it with my Ibanez Bass Tube Screamer. I tried this with a regular Tube Screamer but it lost too much low end for me. It sounded pretty bad ass on guitar, though. If it works, I’ll keep it. If not, my son needs a new Tube Screamer. His is pretty beat up.
MXR M85 Bass Distortion Pedal
Still trying to figure out my dirt sound and if this doesn’t work I’m going to start looking harder at the Darkglass pedals. I’ve tried the B7K and Alpha/Omega but I’m still trying to find a Vintage to test out.
I think part of my problem is I don’t want just one dirt sound.
- I want a deep, full, rich, grind. (stacked Tube Screamers)
- I want a dirty, mangy, 3-legged, howling dog. (M85 Rat clone)
Tech 21 SansAmp Character Series VT Bass DI
I want to do a comparison with my Tone Hammer and see which one I like more. If anyone has had both, I would like to hear about the differences in the sound of the gain circuit.
Of course, there’s always more but this is what’s been on my mind.

Loved my VT Bass DI, for its brief existence.

Definitely not a big GAS moment, just sheet music and the Joyo MA10B (plus power bank not in the photo) for playing wherever I like.
Hopefully it will keep the more expensive impulses under control for a while longer

Pertaining to music books as GAS:
I had made a comparison of songs from two other sources for Bass:
- “BassBuzz First 50 Songs/100 Weeks” (link to song list for 100 week challenge)
- “Hal Leonard First 50 Songs (You Should Play on Bass).”
When I compared the content of this “Ultimate Guitar Bass Bonanza” (50 songs) that @paolo.pfm showed to the other two, I see that 42 songs are unique to it (not in the first two collections). Only 8 songs are duplicates:
- The Chain, by Fleetwood Mac (in all 3 sources)
- Creep, by Radiohead (Ultimate + HL First 50)
- Feel Good Inc., by Gorillaz (all 3)
- Livin’ On a Prayer, by Bon Jovi (Ultimate + HL)
- Money, Pink Floyd (all 3)
- My Generation, The Who (Ultimate + HL)
- Plush, by Stone Temple Pilots (Ultimate + HL)
- Santeria, by Sublime (Ultimate + HL)
Pretty good for minimal overlap, especially if you have both the “BassBuzz First 50 songs,” and/or the “Hal Leonard First 50 Songs.” Those two sources have 11 songs in common (in addition to the 3 shown in common to all three sources in the above 8: The Chain, Feel Good Inc., and Money), for a total of 14 duplicated songs out of each set of 50 songs (so 36 unique in each). The 11 other songs are:
- Billie Jean, by Michael Jackson
- Blitzkrieg Bop, by Ramones
- Born Under a Bad Sign, by Albert King
- Come As You Are, by Nirvana
- Crossfire, by Stevie Ray Vaughn
- I Got You (I Feel Good), by James Brown
- Longview, by Green Day
- Roxanne, by the Police
- Under the Bridge, by Red Hot Chili Peppers
- With or Without You, by U2
- Yellow, by Coldplay
So, just in case anyone wondered, or cared. . .

Looks pretty cool to me. I’d try it. They don’t give frequency numbers, but it looks well thought out at least the way they write about it.
They inserted the manual graphics backwards. I’m guessing they got the function right though, unless it’s some driving on the left side of the road thing.

That Laney Digbeth looks really nice. I’ve had three Laney amps, still got two of them and been happy with them. Now I need to go off and repeat 1000 times “I do not need or want a bass pedal right now”. Needing is one thing, “wanting” is something completely different!

I finally got myself a DAI ( Motu M2 ) and proper headphones ( Bayerdynamics DT 700 Pro X )

Probably buying an IK iRig Blueboard some sort of wireless foot controller to add to my iPhone rig. Only 4 buttons but that’s about all the preset changing I could envision myself needing anyway. It has two expression pedal inputs, too, so I could add a volume pedal and play whalesong for my band 
Airturn makes a 6 button pedal. Bias FX 2 has 4 presets and 5 assignable buttons per preset 
At the least, I can control tuner with one button, or use the 2 extra for bank control.
I bet I could build something like this with an Arduino 
I can also connect up to 8 AirTurn devices, though. Plop two of them onto my Pedaltrain Nano and a tuner pedal (since I really, really prefer my ST-300 LED strobe)
Edit “Note: AirTurn is compatible with Positive Grid’s JamUp XT and JamUp Pro XT, but none of their other iOS Apps.”
Really bruh? 
I mean I bet I can make it work, it’s a MIDI controller… and Bias FX 2 has MIDI learn.
Edit 2 Yeah, I think I will go with the BT200S-6 and BT500S-6 and strap them to a pedalboard. They run off 9V or internal battery, and I’ll be set with 12 buttons that work as various types of switches and I can have up to two expression pedals, one for volume, one for wah/whatever.

I just got an irig2 for fun. Got it working with Tonecontrol which is one of the coolest apps I own: Tonebridge Guitar Effects in de App Store
It’s all a bit flimsy but the app is solid

Reading the AirTurn’s manual I have absolutely no f’ing clue how it works as a MIDI controller nor how it can be used with multiple AirTurn devices 
Edit The number of bluetooth foot controllers with only 4 buttons is too damned high.
Edit 2 I’m starting to feel like there’s just not really a market here 
Edit 3 Well, I guess I found my white whale…

Ever look into one of these for your mobile setup:
There are a couple of models. And they look pretty durable. You may even find one used.
If you want wireless they also make the Airstep:

I recently realised that my GAS has been cured, largely by the aquisition of the Helix Stomp. It fulfills all my gear needs & wants at this time; it’s such a versatile piece of kit.
Sure, I’d still like to pick up a MIG semi hollowbody Warwick Infinity at some point, but I’m in no hurry for it.

Yeah I kinda wished I could turn back time. I started with the HX Stomp but still went the full pedalboard way. It was a fun journey tho
