The Year in GAS

[Inconuucl]

Hahahaha...hahaha...haaaa. :|

12/13/13 (well, taken 12/12/13, but same set up. 8D)


12/13/14




You guys are monsters...

Also in the pictures: me moving from a shitty school lifestyle to a more stable one. And marriage! Thus the lessened clutter.

[Jwar]

My favorite purchased were probably these

Mesa Bass Prodigy
Mesa Powerhouse cabs
Mobius, Timeline, Magnetar, Depth Charge, Duality, DMC 6D, Goatkeeper 3

The rest I didn't pay for as they were trades for labor (haha labor) or purchased last year.

Hold on, you have kept the same bass all year?!?!

For me, turning the garage into a sound-proof music room was a great way to spend money. I definitely sold a lot of gear for my 3 panel Serge modular.
I also bought a Peavey tube bass head and 4-10 cab, A & H 24 channel mixer, rebought DSI Tempest, currently rebuying a Knas Ekdahl Polygamist.
A good year.

[Eivind August]

Don't have a recent image, as I'm still waiting on some stuff, but the Fuck and Afterneath are gone.

Also I have a miniboard which didn't even exist until this year. Come christmas, it will be LAL 88 -> Wolf Computer -> Boss PS-2 -> Maxon AD9, with the LAL being the only "oldie".

The Raptio, No Memory and the Fuzzhugger stuff are probably my favourite purchases of the year. Also, after playing a bit with the PS-2 I'm getting for christmas, I must say it's one of the coolest pedals I've played.

[greyscales]

I thought I had gotten quite a few pedals in 2014. Guess not.

2014 incomers (that I didn't build):
DBA Fuzz War (2 knobber)
Boss DD-20
Boss CS-2
TC Electronics Polytune 2

Amps:
Ampeg PF800 (plus 2 1x15s)
Sunn Concert Bass
Eminence speakers

I need to step up my pedal game in 2015.

[Inconuucl]

Sunn concert bass brother!

Trying to think back to last year and what gear I had around this time.
I was working on the Dirge Combo amp, had just gotten the telecaster that I turned into the 3 pickup monster.
Recently had sold my Obstructures guitar.
Pedalboard was nothing serious, but it was a stereo setup with Hawk/Mini, Hall of Fame, Bug Spider, Fat Sandwich, Harmonic Perc.

[Gone Fission]

A lot of digital pedals in. HOF, PS-5, DL-8, iStomp, and Zoom MS-100BT. Added a Marshall Lead 12 to run next to my Pathfinder for the bedroom MBV rig. Got an assload of pickups that I need to actually swap into a guitar and a bass. Some DIY project boards in, some of which I even got around to building. (Some not done debugging, but you know.)

For the new year I need to be patient and save up for some guitars in this golden age of cool cheap axes. But I have an easy time holding off because my current ones are plenty nice. Still, Squier Bass VI, Cabronita, and offsets. Oh, and the Squier 72 Thinline Tele--mmmmm!

My new years GAS resolution is to be more versatile. This year I was focused on finding the perfect aggressive tones, crazy noises, and angry Fuzzes. In '015 I want more "pretty" sounds on tap, and more glitchy stuff. Always more glitchy stuff.

[skullservant]

I'm tapped out in 2015. Think my resolution is to find my ukulele at my moms house for my son to start to play with this upcoming year when he is older

[iamthesnow]

this year i flipped just about every pedal i got my hands on.

there's very little i want outside of the realm of fuzztones i currently have. the fact that i bought two drum sets also ate into my gear budget so that may be part of the reason i didn't pedal hoard as usual. i feel like 2015 is gonna be the year of the amps for me... and y'no the occasional white whale.

i also think bass vi gas might come back in full swing soon. oh ILF, why do i do this to myself?

Same here, I already have a list of things I want in that department. CT5 is my number one priority, a Franta bit is really up there too, then a No Memory, and then a Raptio. Anti-nautilus is a white whale, so I'm not even counting it. I already got a stupid noisy/crazy fuzz tone by stacking the Second Voice Deluxe with my 141g, but I'm super into having a clean tone with glitch behind it. TOO GOOD

[retinal orbita]

Sold:
Marshall half stack
Q-Tron
Vox Delaylab

Bought:
Fender Super Reverb
Fender Jazzmaster
Dirge Muff
Volume pedal
CS-9

Ah fuck it, I've basically flipped my entire board except for a few mainstays. Bought a new guitar, new amp.... Solid year. Didn't spend much at all based on flipping old stuff. Guitar was paid for in cash. Good times.

[BitchPudding]

Highlight of the year for me is the black SG (currently being named by ILF). Easily the most versitile guitar ever thanks to the mods. (More planned in the future.)

In a similar vein, the Twosome fuzz I scored off UglyCassanova is amazing and versitile too. That combined with the SG is an untouchable combo.

Also got a solid layput for my board. Works with everything.

For the future, i wanna get a bigger board, isolated power supply, a goatkeeper, a DL4 and some sort of drone device in the vein of the sleepdrone.

[phantasmagorovich]

The most important gear purchase was my Harmonic Master guitar.

Other than that I spent a lot of money on stupid shit and wish I'd made wiser decisions. Probably the best pedals I bought were the reverb machine and the Ct5.
