Ending G.A.S.: here is my 12-step program

Good luck......I'm starting to withdraw already.

 

You forgot the main one.....DONT VIEW THE www.talkbass.com site......which is pretty hard to ignore..dont cha think?

 

I would have to avoid at least half of the sections here.

 

you did mention it....my bad

 

Here's my 2-step program:

Make bank.

Buy it.

 

I bet he lasts about two days.

 

You forgot one ~ don't go to a NAMM show.

 

chris's 1 step gas ending program - get dead broke. can't buy anything with no money.

 

You left out: Don't go to a GTG.

 

Isn't it line 8?

 

Honorable effort...

 

Not if you build it yourself.

 

I'm much more affected by the Amps and Cabinets For Sale forum.

So for me, your program is like an alcoholic removing all the liquor, wine, and beer from his home, but retaining a flask of whiskey. It just won't work.

 

My 2 step program:
1) make less than $4k a year for 6 years in a row
2) spend a few months living purely off the savings you manage scrape together in those 6 years
You really learn what you NEED, as opposed to what you WANT

 

Have a kid, wait 16 years, make him get a job, and show him how to play bass. He will buy the gear you "suggest" he should play.

 

....................On this program!

 

It seems to me like you are trying to manage your addiction. Never works!

Step 1. We admitted we were powerless over effects and our pedal boards had become unmanageable!
