Yeah, with a paypal request for funds for $375 and only $75 in the account... my wife won't be happy come Monday. Got stuff on Ebay for sell since it didn't sell here, but until it sells somewhere, I may have to borrow money from a regular banking account to ease the GAS problem.

I just had to reassure my fiance that I won't be impulsively buying gear all the time. That's one benefit of being single. If you decide to spend all your money, you are the only one who has to go hungry.

If my GAS dosent go away, my girlfriend will kill me.

GAS > Girlfriend

It's not my choice, it's just natural

Explain to her that you bought the most expensive bass you could because its an investment. I tried this logic with my ex, hopefully it works betteer for you. Now the only people who make fun of my GAS are my bandmates.

Ask her how many purses and pairs of shoes she has. That should settle things.





























Of course, any guy's who's ever been married knows that won't settle ANYTHING, her most likely response will be "So?!?!?!", and you'll be in even deeper doodoo having asked that question.

All GAS Must Pass dept...

Why is there no cure for Gear Acquisition Syndrome?

No one is looking for one.
