First case of GAS at 00.40 in the Morning....

[JimBeed]

Well its finally struck me, i guess it did with my bass, but now i have my bass i feel it coming on for about four things.
A new strap, saw a thick purple one on a website, which will hopefully find again, decent quality.
New amp, thinking a Warwick 60 watt, im using a marshall 30 at the moment, but feel like seeing what other amp sounds there are.
A pedal board, the warwick 4-5 pedal one seems to be a good starting point for quality at 70, bit steep but if i do then might aswell not skimp.
and quite possibly another effects pedal to go with my behringher hellbabe wah and distortion pedal (For whom the bell tolls  :laughing7

But seriously this is already aggrivating me, and i need to get sleep
I feel lucky to only suffer it now when i could need a bigger amp soon enough and more pedals hehe

Well just found the Strap so thought i should post some pictures of the culprit, plus want your opinions on the Strap
Well here is the link

The picture is with the attachments, for 40.00 im guessing i would be getting a very good quality strap, which looks fairly thick and from what people have been saying it seems the wider the strap the more support it gives you?  :dontknow:

Does this look like it would be a really good strap for the price you pay?

I guess that strap would cost a lot more here in Norway :-\ It looks nice... Except that I want a green one :toothy11:

I'd say that's a fair price for a strap like that, judging by the description. Works out to around $60, which seems high at first blush but that's double-sided, with the inside being garment leather, and it's wide. I've never found padding to be worth much - 12lbs. is 12lbs. no matter how you sugar coat it - but the width spreads the load so it's easier to bear.

I believe that they do red blue and green aswell haha
and Ah yeah well fancy finding out what the warwick bass amps are like, as my warmoth sounds a tad waricky to my bass teacher/friend haha
and Well the plans for the second are already in the pipeline, i just have to decide if i forfeit the Les paul or thunderbird body or forfeit the fifth string cause im really starting to like having the b string there.
However if i went five string again id probably go for  Z body again, cause of how high up the neck you can get, and the only other wierd body shape for five is the iceman and thats just got a bit too much going on for me to find it comfortable.
It would take the body a while to be done however as its going to be getting some custom artwork on it hopefully, whom  my girlfriends going to be supplying the painter with the artwork as she is really good at the anime style, so all good  :icon_thumright:

Think id go with chrome hardware ..... ooh dear.... its started  :sad1:

and yeah i tried a padded strap once and it felt comfy for me and the width i thought was a good idea... so when i get fourty to lash out ill be supplying my warmoth with its own dedicated strap as its using my thunderbirds strap at the moment.

Gahhhhhh!
Again, this time for a acoustic bass,
Though i dont know the make so im not sure about it.
But for 500 it cant be bad i wouldve thought,
i just love the design and the inlay,
