Is my GAS really over?

I really think my GAS is done. I have stated that recently and I know the first thought is like 'rriiiggghhhttt' I was catching up on some threads last night and came across the two threads that are giving away basses. Both look like awesome axes, brands Ive never touched or seen and even in lou of one contest being closed (and voting underway and I did vote), I had absolutely NO interest in either one. Nothing, natta, zilch etc etc. My lack of reaction kind of didn't surprise me but at the same time was a bit of a shock. It really confirmed my statement that my GAS is done. I don't think about other basses, I don't look for other basses , I am done and very happy with what I have. Does that mean I will never get another bass? I have stated that there is one local that I think is still a go that was already planned for a few weeks back that is just for collecting purposes so I don't count that one. I have also stated if I ever find a lawsuit Memphis like the one I had (my first bass) or the Fender P it was copied after I'd make it mine but I don't even look, I don't think about it. In other words it doesn't matter about the Memphis/Fender (its one of those 'if I happen to run across one at the right time' (meaning if I have the $$)). I love the ones I have and would rather concentrate on fixing them up to the best they can be and play play play practice practice practice

Are there really other players here that truly have no GAS?

 

I checked out the thread and posted on it. I do want a better rig and some FX so I suppose there the GAS is not gone. But its not constantly on my mind right now. I opened an account with sweetwater a couple months ago and put what I want on my wish list. But I haven't gotten anything yet as I want to do some reading and get some suggestions on what might work for me. Next month though I am picking up some thingy so I can hook my bass up to my laptop and record...LOL don't you just love my terminology? LOL

 

Well get ready for a shocker, boutique basses do nothing for me. That being said, of all the basses I never knew existed before I joined this board there are only two that ever amazed me. One is Dingwall, dont care what model just a fanned fret Dingwall and the other was the one bass company that makes a most wicked looking bass that looks like its carved from Alien skin (as in the Alien movie series). The name of the company and bass doesn't come to mind right now, sorry.

The GAS that this board gave me was the discovery of all the other models of Peavey basses (besides the T40 and the one 5er I almost got new last year..a blue Millenium) both old and new (which is why I ended up with 4 Peaveys in my group) and it opened my eyes to just how great Fender really is!!!!! ... and by default the discovery of Squier -- which is why I have a Squier and a Fender to round out my Pack O Peaveys.

 

Nice bass there. ^_^

And I went back and looked at that thread again. If anything it killed my GAS for FX LOL. I am about as stupid as it gets with boxes and I guess Im not asking the right way cause I can't seem to get any recommendations by anyone on that thread. Oh well....
