GAS - Gear Acquisition Syndrome (Part 2)

I love the go getter attitude, but I think this is a way to spend twice as much money, a lot of extra time, and get an inferior product to a rumble 100 :rofl:

Maybe, but, I think and Orange is in my future- the guys I play with use them

How’s the pricing on orange amps down there? I’m pretty sure they’re marked up quite a bit in the states compared to Europe (I didn’t let that stop me getting an orange guitar amp)

Pricey but affordable if I am looking at a 50, 100 might be a bit rich

It’s coming from SoCal so it will take a few more days for sure.

My Doozey got from Belgium to California in 2 days, but it took FedEx over 2 weeks to get it to Phoenix and I never knew the status. :angry:

Much prefer DHL or UPS.

My Sterling Joe Dart showed up today and it was hard to put it down. The flats it comes with sound fantastic. Feel great, too, though definitely have higher tension. Action was a mile high out of the box, but a quick setup had it feeling great.

It definitely has a ā€œsoundā€ā€¦ which I quite like. Neck has a super comfortable profile, and is one of the smoothest necks I’ve played. Build quality is great. So simple, can focus on the playing rather than turning the one knob it has.

At $399, it’s a fantastic bass for the money.

I’m feeling a little dive from my Duesenberg as well. Did you ever try the strap to the headstock solution like Pam? Wondering if I should try it or just adjust. It’s not huge, just not as balanced as I’m used to.

I haven’t had much time to experiment with it, but I’ll give it a try.

Soooo, looking around a bit, here in Oz a Rumble 100 costs about the same as an Orange Crush 50 or a Rumble Studio 40.
I must admit the Rumble 100 is looking attractive especially as I don’t need all the onboard doodads of the Studio 40

Wow! That guy is kicking himself right now that it’s sold so fast. The next one we see will be $900 :joy:

If that one is sold fast then you’ll see mine for $1200 :rofl: then I’m half way there to get the EBMM Joe Dart.
