Anyone ever run outa gas?

[joel406]

I’m sure this has been covered before but I find myself totally satisfied with my gear.

Over satisfied even.

4 wonderful amp heads. 5 great cabs.

And 3 of the best Basses I’ve ever owned.

I can’t find any instrument or amplification that interest me. But oh how I love to use what I got.

Anyone else finding they have arrived at gear heaven?

You sound disappointed being content and having money in your bank account.

You don't have one of these. Me neither for another week. But, it'll be together by Christmas. Mines getting cut for a big single in the j neck spot, and a music man in the bridge. Gonna be dope!

G.A.S. free for a while now & glad of it, these days I kind of feel contempt for the 'gotta have one more' mentality that gets thrown around & accepted as gospel-truth.

I understand. I am pleased to say I am really enjoying what I have. I do need a new head to replace the one I currently use, but it will likely be a backup. I no longer have any interest in any new basses either. I may even sell some of what I have, since I have a daughter who is soon to start college.
Enjoy what you have.

Today I'm content. One day at a time.

 

[Horseflesh]

I'm currently 99% content. I am a beginner, and I have everything I need to keep learning. More gear won't help me... it will just distract me. (The other 1% is me wondering if I'd be better off with flatwounds.)

If anyone knows where to buy talent though, please post a link.

As far as amps go, I ran out of gas in 1975 when I bought my first SVT. First good bass was a Fender P bass and I like many others but the P bass (now P.J) is still my go to bass. Now I just buy more.

I’m at the point of only buying what I actually need. I play a few other instruments besides bass and recently my mandolin was having some issues that couldn’t easily be fixed so I bought a new mandolin. As far as bass equipment is concerned I have more than I can justify.

 

[TheGreatSealof]

GAS??? WILL IT EVER END??? Not for me. I am cursed. I have tried rehabilitation many times. Whoa is me. There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as the next bass instrument and a good vintage amp. Ohhhh... Whoa is me.

I like looking at shiny things, but I realize I have good equipment. Play what you have.

You said the magic words. Tempting the gods. Your gas returning in 5... 4... 3... 2....

 

[Sean150]

I thought I was GAS free, but I just bought a banjo so maybe... while I guess that BAS not GA S.. BAS.....S, darn it now I need a new bass

 

[Samatza]

I think I’m over it now. My gear gets replaced when it’s unreliable and instruments just get maintained, I don’t feel the need for something new.

 

[Relsom]

I though I was done for a while... really. Then this Jazz pops up on eBay for a really good price. I didn't need it, I had acquired some really nice basses over that last few months... and I'm not really a Jazz guy, but damn....
So maybe now I'm done. God I hope...

 

[EdO.]

Spent a lifetime honing it down to the gear I have now, feel like I've got it pretty well nailed at this point. Only took 40-some years.

The only cavit would be if I were to find a bass that I just absolutely had to have at a price I absolutely couldn't pass on. Which is kind of how I ended up with the last 3 - 4...

At the moment I have neither GAS (nor its slightly lesser cousin, GRS - Gear Replacement Syndrome). But I'm not telling my doctor; last time I did that he scheduled me for three appointments in three weeks, one with a specialist.

It’s a recurring illness. You will likely have a relapse....
