All right, I've been hanging around since 2003 not wanting to ask, thinking I might figure it out. When I became a supporting member I thought I might get the Talkbass Secret Agent Decoder Ring, but no. I've figured out the contextual meaning, but...
What the hell does "G.A.S." stand for?
I know I've got it, I should know what it means.

| | | I had the exact same problem, but couldn't bring myself to ask. I found on the net it may mean 'Guitar Acquisition Syndrome'. Doesn't really make sense tho. Perhaps someone with inside knowledge could share?  |

GAS occurs in varying degrees of truth. |
