You know you don't have cash for G.A.S when...

you tune your bass to BEAD just because your poor and cant afford another bass or string.

you're making bass just to sell them.

you prostitute yourself.

you to take the money from the government to fulfill gas.

you steal the drugstore to resell.

...

I am constantly restringing my 5-string from low (BEADG) to high (DGDGD/DADGC) as I alternate gigs with other bands and solo bass gigs. I'd even buy a Brice or a Rogue 6 if I had the money.

...suddenly that "mule run" across the border seems like a good option.


...you seriously consider mugging the paperboy.


...your great new plan to boost your earnings involves some chewing gum, a length of string, and a stormwater drain.

GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) is replaced with SAG (Savings All Gone)

You think Markbass is a special felt pen that won't damage the finish

You can somehow make do with just a P-bass, a J-bass, a Music Man, a hollowbody, an active 5-string, a fretless, an upright and just 1 small and 1 large amp rig

You say yes to a Carpenters revue that pays $50 and requires 3 rehearsals

Your credit card is maxxed out on rice & beans

You find a '62 Jazz bass at a yard sale for $40 and have to pass it up

The DOW just dropped another 1000, the truck won't start and that sore tooth is worse than ever

You decide you can live with the tone you're getting with your Fishman BP-100 upright pickup

Your biggest job of the month is a nightclub Jazz gig

my fav so far

[Blake Bass]

When you take a 4 hour gig at a jazz club an hour from home that only pays $75..true story but it was so much fun I would've done it for free...almost!!!

[mkrtu9]

you know you don't have cash for G.A.S. when

you steal your kids' bday money for your G.A.S. habbit

when you lose your house, your car, but you still have a fodera, sadowsky, and 15 others hanging on your wall, well not your wall anymore!

When you sell your cat for G.A.S.

[John Bigboote]

You see a Fireglo Rick on the local CL for $500 (with a case!) and you can't even bring yourself to e-mail the guy.

AMEN

[gahpg]

When you nearly pass out once you see the CC bill that you thought was OK to put that new piece of gear on.

When your friends and family hold an intervention to control your GAS.

You use your bootlaces for strings once your strings are deader than dead.

Your diet consists of $1 McDonalds cheeseburgers thanks to Roger Sadowsky.

Your angry wife throws dishes at you.

You try to pay for a new bass with monopoly money and hope the cashier doesn't notice.

And then you hang yourself the next day due to severe depression.
