Ok,
I figured it out, obtain a good quality bass ____________ fill in the blank, now buy a first act or some really horrible set up bass. Now lock the good quality bass up. You can only use the crapper for 1-2 mo., you can't go to stores and try out other basses, or anything like that. Now that you have become comfortable with the crapper, now go back to your better bass and you will be playing like geddy,victor,marcus... Repeat as you feel gas attacks.

Seriously though, that sounds like a good idea. I was thinking of when GAS attacks, maybe buying a $50 or $100 bass from the pawn show and fixing it up til it resembles a $1000 bass. |

That's what I do, find a cheapo bass on craigslist and go to town.
I turned a sanded-up old squier affinity P-bass ($80) into one bad-ass mother of a bass, and mostly from spare parts I had hanging around. It's not that beautiful but it plays so mean!

I enjoy the smell of my own brand... plus it makes a silly noise...
But honestly? I cured my gas once I looked at my 401K a couple weeks back..
