2 dumb questions:

[bassfrenzie]

I know you guys are extremely busy with more important matters, but can you find it within yourselves to answer a few questions fer me?

I'm beginning to feel guilty by nodding knowingly whenever these terms come up:

1) what does GAS stand for? - go ahead LAUGH!

2) what is meant by 'dry' & 'wet' when referring to tone? - go ahead, laugh some more...

thanks

Gas = Gear Acquisition Syndrome
Dry = unaltered (clean) signal from your bass
Wet = altered signal after effects, eq, etc.

Ohhhh...

Thanks brother!

I've had gas for as long as I can remember and didn't realize it...I don't think it will ever go away.

For instance I bought a new H1 Jazz & almost immediately wanted a Jazz 5/24 as well. A new SWR Redhead would be nice come to think of it...and I want to check out the 'made specifically for bass' cables, another strap, a compressor, I want to try those purple strings...and so on...yeah I got GAS!!

GAS may not go away, but your money will.

PS - don't buy cables that are "made for bass" that's just false marketing - all decent quality cables sound exactly the same. Buy a cable because it's built well, has a lifetime warranty, or you think it looks cool, but not because it's made specifically for bass - that's kind of a joke.

Just remember, wet gas can spoil an evening and/or a pair of undies.

GAS is a good kinda hurt.

There's a country song there somewhere...

Hello GAS goodbye moola for sure.
