G.A.S is ridiculous

[Barbablanca]

Green White and Red, eh?
Could it be you were an Italian in a previous existence?

The only cure for G.A.S. is being B-R-O-K-E!

It took me a while too, but it's incredibly important to bass playing : Gear Acquisition Syndrome.

My pleasure

Well call it what you want but it means get another something. It’s an affliction like jock itch and once you’ve had it, you ain’t ever gonna want it again.

I have three P basses and two of them are Fender American Pro. The third is a Univox.

The Pro's I have the Olympic white and the antique olive.

Can someone please explain to me why I feel the want to get a Candy Apple Red Pro when I already have a couple and they sound and play so well. Am I really chasing a color?

Help me TB-wan. You are my only hope

Do you have Italian ancestry? If yes, I sense you are subconsciously trying to recreate the colours of your forefather's national flag. Red, Green, white... Just a theory.

if we could only be strong enough to concentrate on playing more than worrying about obtaining new stuff.

Nooooo... there would be WAY too many great players!

When you find the model you like, then you NEED it in ALL colors; EVERYBODY knows that!

Is that Univox a Mosrite copy? I remember a Dan Armstrong Univox copy (can't recall if it was a bass)! I bought a Univox Super Fuzz in '68 before I got my first amp! That was a Univox 1-15" rig. As far as color goes; I was craving a Blue MIJ Jaguar Deluxe to complement my red one (blue wasn't available when I got it - no regrets, I LOVE that bass!
