| | | | Oh, ****, I think I've got it really bad. Like, REALLY bad. Is it fatal? I've got Chronic GAS.
Is it also "Gear acquisition syndrome"? |

the overbearing desire/need/urge to try/buy new and different gear.

| | | | Hm, can it be assuaged? Maybe I have it because I have a thirst for tone but no opportunity to actually get better sounding gear? I hope it's not too permanent. Are there any treatments?
Also, slightly off topic but still semi related, I got a new rig, and I'm going to want to get a slightly better cab when I get the money. Would Avatar be a really good relatively low priced brand, or for more than a couple hundred bucks should I just get out and try stuff and pick my favorite? Never mind. I'll stop thinking about it, it's making it worse. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. It's still several hundred miles off. |

Avatar is a good choice

| | | | Well, I only seem to get it when I have literally no way of buying anything. And it seems like it's more of a Choosing thing than an Acquisition thing. I just like lusting over new gear that I probably won't even have an opportunity to get for months or years.
Man, There should be GAS stations that just have a bunch of gear, and you can just go and use it all. Although I hear that GAS prices are rising... |

President, Baer Amplification | | | | | G.A.S. It's kinda like sitting in a club with your gorgeous girlfriend, when this really hot chick walks in the front door, and you can't help but think how nice it'd be to have one of those too!
