GAS - Gear Acquisition Syndrome (Part 1)

Wait… does this mean I need a rug and a couch for my bass photos? :sweat_smile:

Thanks, I use wall hangers for storage but have a collapsible stand to use while I’m practicing if I want to take the bass off for a few minutes to get on the computer. Does not work well with a jazz :confused:.

is it a 3 ply pickguard on your SBV ? mine has a 1 ply

This does the trick for me and holds anything.

Yes 3-ply. Interesting, besides the pickup that is the only difference between the 550 and 500 that I have ever heard.

yeah I’m a bit surprised, for some reason I was sure that the pickguard was similar on the 500 and 550.

A couch is optional, but a rug is mandatory. One that really ties the room together :sunglasses:

Yup, no rug, no bass.

I almost stopped into GC to Buy a line 6 Helix HX Stomp today but managed to resist another day. @HowlinDawg , thanks for the internal struggle you triggered :+1:

That one looks too 3d, I’d trip so many times trying not to step on the bass.

Love mine. Never look at pedals now. I can do it all within the Stomp.

That’s the floor of @Al1885’s guest room.

lol I only wish I love that many burst. Why now do it for real with plexyglass and lay the the bass down on the floor that could fit more bass, evil laugh :joy_cat:

They would certainly fit in between the floor joists!

Hey Guys! I got a new American P deluxe with the P+MM configuration. I’m loving the bass, but I’m thinking I want to change the preamp. Anyone have a preamp for a Pbass that they would recommend? I have been looking at the Darkglass tonecapsule or an audere.

Congrats. It’s actually P/ double J not MM. the pickup is much, much harder to find, lol. I only know that Delano is offering one and no one else at the moment, lol. I made my own with my project.
