GAS - Gear Acquisition Syndrome (Part 2)

That just means you need to buy it now. You got a second chance!

The deal is still there.

Really sweet price for a green Sterling 5-string Ray.

If it were 4 string and like $50-100 cheaper I probably would have pulled the trigger

Not into fivers (or green), myself.

Still, it is a great deal for the right someone. :money_mouth_face:

I’s purty, I need to stop looking at it!

Yep. It’s a stupid-good deal for sure. I have no need for it. Don’t need another bass. Nope. Totally tempted. Must have it.

Yeah, just wait. The right deal will come soon.

Rule #1 for GASsing. Buy when a good deal comes along and not when you need.

I don’t know about GC/MF, but Sweetwater won’t ship to France and there’s a bunch of pages on their website that they won’t even let me access. Even if MF would sell and ship it, the 25-30% import duty would wipe out the SDotD savings. Besides, when I need/want a StingRay tone, I’d grab my EBMM T.C. passive shorty. The Ray35 would just be one more well-priced bass collecting dust. I have enough of those already.

It’s still a spectacular deal for the right player.

Fender have the lefty Am Pro ll Jazz bass in Dark Night back in stock………

I assume they have one fewer now than when you found out they were in stock.

After all, you already had permission to buy it.

This was literally Vanessa response when I messaged her it was back in stock

“Oh my love. Buy it right now. I’ll genuinely be upset if you don’t xx”

Needless to say I had already bought it

I’ve been saving up my pennies to get myself an Empress Bass Compressor pedal, as I build up a selection of analog pedals, but I might’ve had my head turned by the Darkglass Microtubes Infinity (even if it isn’t analog :wink:) …

I just need to figure out if it’ll work with my existing pedals (JHS Double Dragon & Tonex One Bass Edition). I’ve got a Marshall Drivemaster but the Darkglass gives me access to a lot more than just drive, so presumably would replace it? I really like the look of all the output options the Darkglass offers, and it does compression too :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Oh and I’ll need to save a few more pennies compared to getting the Empress pedal :laughing:

DR Sunbeams sound just really good, at least on my basses and they age nicely!

I’m on travel in San Diego so I stopped in the music store that @Al1885 Al told me about. Pitbull audio. A couple of nice guys there to talk to. I only walked out with a tee shirt but it was fun looking around.

Pitbull Audio is a great online vendor.

I bought my Sire V8 and Sterling Ray shorty from them. They also are one of the best US Mayones dealers.
