I'm outta GAS!

I know, I know, I can hear you!
Blasphemy! Sacrilège! He's gone off the deep end! Is he possessed?

No, I'm actually just fine and grinnin' like a villin'.
I bought a new bass this past October. Black Fender Player p-bass with Ebony fingerboard and matching headstock. Before I bought it, I knew I wanted it blacked out. I bought a Badass II Bridge (in black), Badass OGT tuning pegs ( in black), Schaller strap locks (in black), and a replacement pick guard (in black but it doesn't matter because...) I wrapped it in black vinyl carbon fiber. I like to keep the original pick guards original, maybe it's my OCD, I don't know! :D
Anyways, honestly, I really only want an ashtray for it. I have one laying around the house but I took it off such a long time ago, I have no earthly idea where I stored it.
My GAS list is down to the ashtray and a new strap. I'll post pics of the finished product, sans the ashtray, in a week or so. I don't get her back until next Saturday.

"Stand up, we'll put you on your feet again
Open up your eyes
Just to check that you're asleep again
President gas is president gas again
He comes in from the left sometimes
He comes in from the right
It's so heavily advertised that he wants you and I"

The Psychedelic Furs know Gas is always around the corner!
:roflmao::roflmao::roflmao:
I know, but it’s fun to think I’m in control…for now!
 
I'm out of GAS. I think. Well, maybe. I bought 4 really nice basses between 2019 and 2022. They kinda cover all the bases (no pun intended). So, I browse and look at what's out there and I keep thinking I'd be buying the same thing all over again. Inflation helps me keep GAS under control, too. It's Di-Gel. I'm enjoying what I have for now. Maybe someday I'll see something that gives me GAS again.
