GAS - Gear Acquisition Syndrome (Part 1)

Nice! I really like the Rascal.

Believe it or not I just GASsed me up some furniture :rofl:

I’ve been wanting a real studio desk for a long long time. My studio space sucks bad and this will help a lot. My mixer can fit next to me (finally). Easy access to my MIDI keyboard (finally). Swivelpads for my monitors. A place for my 'phones (both of them!). Shit, it has 12U of rack space, I will have to think creatively there.

@JerryP - the points helped a lot here, thanks again.

Ah, yes, been thinking about such a piece of furniture also. It’s just that these are… kinda ugly :sweat_smile:

Access to a MIDI keyboard would be the main driver for me… perhaps I can find another solution with just adding a sliding drawer :thinking:

Yes me too however, I have yet to find anything as versitle (and el cheapo) as IKEA’s tabletop/leg/drawer systems.

If you have 13U of space, you could cram this in there CANFORD FRIDGE Rackmount 13U, black :joy:

Well it’s a lovely bass BUT man the neck dive is something I just can’t deal with.
Maybe it’s a Mustang thing? So back to the store it goes.
I guess I’m just a P Bass kind of guy :man_shrugging:

The one I’ve been playing is the same. The body is so light that the balance is not great. It stills lives at the store but I haven’t written it off yet.

I would think a strap could fix this issue? I haven’t tested that theory though…

Yeah it was ok with my Gruv Neo strap standing up but sitting down I was fighting it.

Life’s too short to live with neck dive :sunglasses:

The Rascal with the big body has no discernable neck dive. I have a Player Mustang in the PJ configuration and it has no neck dive either.

Now I’m worried about the Squire on order…

Hipshot Ultra-Lite tuners would fix a lot of the neck dive.

But that bass sports a big ol’ Fender headstock, which contributes most to its off-balance-ness.

There’s always a Rickenbacker, EBMM, Aerodyne, Peavey T-40, SBV… no worries man, plenty of GAS left in your tank.

I enjoyed the sound of your TMB 30 myself.

Well it seems good ole Sammy Ash has sent me a $50 promotional gift card that expires in 10 days. I might have to bend my rule on completing the 50 songs challenge before the next bass purchase. :sweat_smile:

Help me !!! I’m gasing x 2

I was in UK for work and happened to stay 10min away from Anderton …

I went there and before moving to GAS

This place is GREAT , staff has been AMAZING. This place is a must visit…. But it ignited the GAS guy in me

I have tried the Sire short scale U5 … it is sooo much fun !!! It makes everything looks easy and the aesthetics are just great … I was very close to make a small mistake (it is such a great instrument)

As I already bought a Fender Jazz this year I decided not to go down that path …

So I went into pedals and tried the oc5 … so much fun ! I didn’t buy it but decided to start my pedal board leveraging their budget YouTube video

just bought the cheapest one today but my Xmas list is now ready !!!
