I don't even have time to play with my current batch of toys but it doesn't stop me from wanting more! |

Right now its running top of the line studded tires which are $80 a piece : ( http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d7...l/DSCN0511.jpg | I found out that a friend of mine has 9 middle and high end mountain and road bicycles. I thought to myself "why would anyone need nine bikes?" then I thought of my 12 basses.  |

I frequent pawnshops VERY regularly which my job allows me to. Therefore, I run into some KILLER deals. I don't need any of the stuff I pick up ,but I just can't walk away from these deals. I'm kinda like the animal lover who's gotta take the unwanted homeless animal home to give it love.

I will probably buy them later this year. I am also looking for a good acoustic guitar.

The worst part is I seem to have developed a real expensive taste for MIA models. I went from a $275 squier to the latest greatest Am Standard....now that's GAS!

You can keep your iPads, flat screens, games machines etc. They are all just all a waste of potential bass money as far as I'm concerned!

|  | Registered User | | | | | Yes...now how do I cure it? I really need to buy more DJ gear...but all I look at is bass gear. Haven't played bass a full year yet and I search all the time for bass gear. Even though I have 2 very nice basses, and nice amp, and a cabinet.

Luckily, most of my bass and guitar GAS has subsided since I got my Vista Musicmaster (guitar), which I love, and I have a Rickenfaker on the way. GAS is gone

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2009 Location: Wilkes-Barre, PA | | | My GAS rotates depending on my current interest. It's also a bit seasonal. In summer, my motorcycle and gear is my primary focus. I'm always wanting a new bike, helmet, jacket, gloves, etc. Then, in winter I can't ride as much, music takes over and I switch between guitar and bass. Periodically, computers/tablets/phones take over, but once I get a new one it'll subside for an extended period anymore.
Recently, however, I've been GAS free for all interests (both due to being happy with what I have and forced because I'm saving for a wedding and can't buy new things). I used to dream about being GAS free, hoping to find peace in it all. In reality, I'm so freaking bored!

|  | Nope! | | | | | I GAS for bass, guitar, drums, and I work at Guitar Center. Life is rough, seeing that stuff every day!
I also GAS for several woodwind and brass instruments but that's just because I played everything I could back in high school. |
