I'm GASing for weird things today.

Sign in to disble this ad
At my practice space that I share with a bunch of people, this guys has an old GK 400rb. I have played it. I like it just fine. I can use it whenever I want. I also have a couple amps of my own to choose from. But, for some reason I have spent all day thinking about that little GK. Now all of a sudden, I want to buy one of my own. I don't need another amp. I really just want to run it with an 810 (which I don't own) and compare it to my normal rig.

So, basically I am looking to buy an amp that I already have unlimited access to and that I have played before and thought it was good (but not great) just so I can try it out with a specific cab that I do not own. I should have spent my day searching for a cheap 810 but, that doesn't interest me in the least. I guess my subconscious assumes that I can find one of those really easy.

Sometimes I obsess over the lamest crap.

This is why I surrendered (of my own free will) my credit cards to my wife.

I need help.

My name is Jeff and I have GAS.

I think what you really need is one of those ESP power cables

At least you aren't gassing over an expensive ring modulator effect!

Beano has proven quite effective at curing GAS. Available at most drug counters.

Boy have I been there! The key is just wait it out. Eventually it will be replaced by another, yet equally illogical compulsion. For me, this can sometimes take months.

I wanted to buy this book last week so f'n bad. I knew I should just buy it used on Ebay or Amazon but I HHHHHHAAAAADDDD to have it right away so I paid $30 for it at Barnes and Nobles. I read the first chapter that night and haven't touched it since. Don't know when I will. It's not that I dislike the book but, my 7 week old son is hard to care for while I'm reading.

This thread probably belongs in the MISC. forum because it's more about my addiction than the actual gear.
