GAS ATTACK: KILOTON 5!

This bass is awesome and I want one. I just know that it won't be long before I want something else. Heck, after the Caprice, I even like PJ basses now. I know my Mustang PJ is a knockout! If I live long enough, I will be saying how much I live Hofner Club Basses and Gibson EBOs.

I can easily imagine situations where I cannot buy more basses, just like I cannot run out and buy a BMW M5, but I think I will on Death's Door when I stop wanting basses. Some say buy something really expensive, and your GAS will die. I did that for about five years straight, and it did not work. I cannot afford to act on it as much as I like, but my GAS will only die when I do.

 

I know that I have said something like this maybe a dozen times before, but it really just hit me that recognizing I am not capable of getting over my GAS probably makes it easier to say no and be more selective about what I buy because the most common justification for GAS was "this is the one, this bass or amp will end my GAS!" Frankly, that is a load of bovine natural fertilizer! Sooner or later, and with the internet, it's usually sooner, something else pops up that is also a must have. It is also important to note that are certain basses that I have really wanted but never got, and in never getting them, the desire never left, but it became very manageable, kind of like with girls that were crushes with which I never had a shot. Those women never stopped being attractive to me, but I kept living, and one day, they just did not matter the way they used to.

 

I feel that there is no point in feeling bad about it. The smart thing to do is to manage it so any purchases I make are smart, and keep me happy a long time.

 

It comes in four too.

 

I think it is 17mm which is standard with G&L.

 

That's good to know!

 

That system is no joke. The Fernandes Atlas has the exact same system, and also does a remarkable Stingray imitation.

I love the 4+1 headstock too.
