The shameless how much I had spend on BASS thread!

Killer GAS.

i'm estimating mine to be below 4k, nothing to be proud of tho.

i did notice however that alot of ppl buy gadgets and certain brands at "overpriced" rates.

Hmmmm...over spend again i guess....luckily some thing i manage to sell off..haha...well..there it is folks..my shameless gas.

GRAND TOTAL $15,510.00
 
$720 - Yamaha BB414 + Yamaha F-20b in a bundle
$220 - Zoom B2.1u Multieffects
$110 - Digitech Bass Squeeze
$288 - EBS MultiComp

Total: $1388.

I decided to just spend the $$$ and get the EBS MultiComp because I was so put off by the overpriced BBE OptoStomp at Swee Lee. For that kind of price that Swee Lee quoted me for the BEE Opto Stomp, I rather fork out a little bit more and get the infinitely better EBS MultiComp.

And I love the Zoom B2.1u, really good sound. The Bass Squeeze was OKAY... it's good dual-band compressor for that kind of price that you're paying for.

And of course the BB414 is just amazing quality for the price. Bang over buck is really high.

After playing a few times on a Harkte combo amp.... thinking of getting one in future! :)
