GAS - Gear Acquisition Syndrome (Part 2)

[Vader]

Two guitars and one bass. Soon to be two and two, assuming bonus week at my employer this week goes well.

[MikeC]

Five custom steel string acoustic guitars and seven electric basses here. Not a problem at all.

[JerryP]

Eleven basses, one acoustic guitar in NJ, one bass in Hawaii. That should be enough for now.

[faydout]

3 basses, 1 bass VI, and 1 guitar here. I think I’m taking my BB300 in to sell next weekend to make room for a 735 though. I haven’t touched it in months. The neck pickup on the 734 does just as well and the neck is more comfortable to play on.

Currently, there are 8 basses in the house. There’s also an old acoustic guitar in the loft.

Only 3 basses , a rumble 40 and a digitech drop pedal…that’s it

[MattyD]

How do you like the drop pedal? Not that I’m gassing for one… No, just in case a friend asks…

[Al1885]

I have some basses too, just don’t know how many. All I know is I have 4 drum sets, 5 keyboards and 15 guitars.

@Al1885

some basses

Yeah, @Al1885’s shed is like the warehouse at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark. A bass that goes in may never be seen again.

[John_E]

I’m not gonna play this numbers game.
Plausible deniability and Denial activate!!!

[Megatronpt]

I have… not enough.

@MattyD

How do you like the drop pedal?

So far I like it, I drop down a half step to Eb or a whole to standard D tuning and it sounds good, no noticeable delay or funny artifacts
Going down to B E A D (5 semitones) starts to sound a bit funny but that might get lost in the mix
A big pro is that all your strings get tuned down so the intervals over each string will stay the same however you tune down keeping fretboard patterns the same ( compared to drop D).
The minus is that it might never sound exactly the same as a tuned down E or thicker B string

Novation Bass Station II

Synth bass from an analog monosynthesizer

[howard]

I love monosynths and that is a good one. Not my top choice but still great.

[John_E]

I betrayed bass, and guitar (and even sax), and bought a…

Sadly I’ve always wanted to learn how to play.
Online video lessons have begun.

[Wombat-metal]

Good luck. Now you can do covers of the Flecktones.

@Wombat-metal

Now you can do covers of the Flecktones.

I see that as a long long road lol
First impressions:

1. Ouch
2. Bass is way easier
3. Did I mention ouch
