Serious case of GAS!

Sign in to disble this ad
So I was doing one of my random visits to GC today. While I was there to buy some picks and a few other random thing, I ran into a nice looking American Made Fender P Bass. This was my first experience holding a P, and I really liked the way it felt. I was in the Platinum room (or whatever the hell that thing is) and was looking at what amp to plug into. They had a few choices. One was Ampeg and another was Markbass. I chose the Markbass because I wanted to know *** everyone on this board has been talking about.

Now right now I play through a Acoustic 200W. It's nothing special, but I like it alright...that is until I played the Markbass. Now I'm not the smartest guy when it comes to amps or stacks, but this sucker impressed the hell out of me.

I believe it was this cabinet with this head. I could be wrong though. The whole set up was about $1,200 bucks and weighed about 45 lbs.

I had that baby barely (and I mean barely) cranked up on on the volume and the walls were rattling. It had such a clean, crisp and sexy sound. UGH!

I have a Stingray HH and a Stingray 25th Anniversary HSS 4 String. The HSS I actually just got about a month ago. My GAS was so ****ing bad, I considered selling it and buying that Fender P and Markbass.


GOD! What to do! OCD kicking in guys! Sucks.


What do you guys think I should do? I know I'm going to do something, just not sure what yet.

That's what I was thinking of doing in a few days here. I'm scared that I won't be able to leave without it.
