Patriotic GAS

[Dr. Cheese]

Please no politics, just GAS.

It appears that substantial stimulus is coming our way soon. Some of that money will be earmarked for some responsible adult things, but we should get enough that I can pass some GAS. I know some things I might buy, but I talk about my GAS so much, I want to hear what others might do to musically boost the economy?

Not until I know how long before I can go back to my job. Until then I’m conserving every penny.

Spending money we haven't received yet is no way to live

No government cash for us in the UK though I appear to still have perfect timing.

In 2008 I went on a huge bender,ended just as the crash happened. This time I decided to try selling 54 basses,week later country goes into lockdown

I won’t spend a dime until it is in my bank account, right now I’m just talking.

I don’t blame you. My wife and I have high job security.

....and I’m sure we will have to pay taxes on it next tax cycle.

I intend to reduce air pollution by not playing.

I can imagine how Peaveyed you must be by this.

Is it wrong that when I read about the potential stimulus my very first thought was "Sweet I'm buying another bass"?

First thing I'm doing is putting it toward maxing my IRA contribution for the year. After that, we'll see.

Not if you can afford to do so, and you are helping someone keep the lights on too.

 

[Killed_by_Death]

Not sure why, but I'm just not wired like that.
I don't make plans for what to do with tax-return funds & things like that.

When I don't have money, I don't spend, & of course the vice-versa. When I have satisfied my requirements for rainy-day money, then I'll spend.

Well considering I bought a new one a few weeks ago, and another about 30 minutes ago, I think I'll refrain from buying my 4th bass of 2020.


At least for now...

If and when I get any stimulus money, it's either paying off pre-existing debt or buying stocks I know and trust. Depending on how responsible vs. adventurous I feel at the time...

First off, I might buy a takeout meal or two from venues who have been especially good to the local music community over the years. In any case, any spare money will go directly to locals, or possibly to buy a few parts to build something I can sell.

I've also been considering giving a bass or two and maybe some PA stuff to some former customers or other friends if their situations warrant it. But I see that being a longer term thing most likely.

Man it's funny you should ask! I just bought a couple accessories on Reverb, and thinking about getting at least one other item from MF. I don't have any big GAS building up, although I wouldn't mind a decent trap set for the studio to replace the crummy one that's in there now. Bass-wise, my cup runneth over! You are the bass GAS king though, so I can't wait to see what you get!

If I spent any of such money on gear, missus would cut off my other one and I'd probably help her.

I'm not gassy at the moment. So I will give it to charity, and like I always say, charity begins at home
