I'm just thinking about my Dingwall Combustion GAS. The irony is that objectively, it's not any better than my current TRB5II!

Seriously, I tend to have intense GAS only to calm down when I think about my bills, and household needs. 
It doesn't hurt that I actually own a couple of decent basses too.

Oh! and not sure what objectively means, but play the Dingwall and see if it's any better than the TRB511! |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Oct 2009 Location: Nova Scotia | | | My last bass purchase cured my GAS, but I have to say it was a weird feeling until I got used to it.
I used to have a reason to troll ebay and constantly check preferred dealer's sites.
Now I don't have much interest in that.
It's an odd feeling...

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: North Dakota | | | I will always GAS for stuff. I have a nice bass and amp that everyone likes - even me. I still think I "need" a 5 string or fretless but it goes away when I gig and get by without either of them. For me, an active fretted 4 covers all my needs. Not wants, but needs. |

I am GAS-ing over everything, but I really need nothing!

It's an odd feeling... | It sure the heck is! I was so used to having GAS that it became the norm for me. I suffered from constant serious amp GAS for over 30 years. And then, when I acquired a US made Ampeg SVT-VR and a pair of LDS nEarful 15/6 cabs, it abruptly ended my amp GAS. And now, it's weird not caring about all the amps that are for sale. I still look at them because it's fun to look at stuff, but every amp I see, I don't like as much as the amp I now have. I have tried nearly all of them (including an Ampeg SVT-CL, which was "meh"). The VR is da bomb tonewise, and the LDS nEarful 15/6 cabs are simply astounding.
