No more gas??

Sign in to disble this ad
I've finally found my perfect rig, and I can honestly say I have no gas for any other cabs or head for that matter. Basses are another monster though...

Who is with me?

I have the best cabs on earth, and one of the finest basses ever made...I've got a great head that's worked perfectly for me in pretty much every way...

...but there are always a few bits and pieces I could use.

And by that I mean, I'd like a Demeter preamp to go with a Peavey IPR3K power amp.

I'm with ya.

Thing is, even after I knew I'd found the perfect set up for myself, I still bought some things .. which I ended up selling .. just confirming what I knew already.

I still find myself browsing the classifieds and CL, but I've stopped making music gear purchases.

Its all just an illusion.

I think amps(maybe effects) have the least amount of GAS symptoms for me. I usually find something that works and am very happy for a long time...

I'm with the OP here....In the 35+ years I have been playing I have FINALLY reached a point where I am absolutely happy with the gear that I use.....

Granted - it took 35 years, but what the hell....I'm finally there!!

If you're talking about your avatar, I think I could understand that.

never been a big amp buyer myself. i like having different basses, and for a while i tried amp collecting, but it got on my nerves because i don't have enough storage or need so many amps. there are couple i'd like to get and maybe one day i will, but i'm quite content with what i have for now.

I just got a 1972 Traynor Custom special and along with my 800RB I don't look at amps any more either...I must have gone thru 20 or so in the last 4 years since I started..funny thing is..one of my first amps was a Custom special, I loved it, then stopped playing, and sold it. I spent 4 years and many amps trying to find the same sound. I just got one a couple of weeks ago and will NEVER sell it as they are getting rare.
As mentioned, basses are another story!

Hmm...

Basses: Played a bunch of p-basses at the store, looking to upgrade from budget B.C. Rich and Stagg. Peavey Millennium USA stopped the GAS, although if I ever have the budget to look at $1,500--$3,000 basses, I'm sure the GAS will resume.

Onstage pic of the Mil:
http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/inde...ageID=15002368

Cabs: Tons of budget Peavey, Carvin, Sonic, etc., some ok, some terrible. fEarful 15" sub on the way (for my main, budget 15" for my drummer's monitor):


Amps: Loud is never loud enough. I have a good, dual 700watter. But it's old and weighs a ton. Looking at some Crown stuff (used).

FX/EQ: Listed in sig. Kinda gas-ing for that new MXR bass wah. (I have an germ-o.d.-modded Metal Zone to trade for one.)
