The TalkBass G.A.S. Test!

[soxhats]

Ha!... I think I deserve bonus points for the fact that I have to constantly remind myself when my wife's birthday and our anniversary are... yet I could describe with shocking accuracy the current inventory of my favorite brands on TalkBass and eBay and at Bass Central, Bass Club Chicago, Atlanta Bass Gallery, Bass San Diego, New Jersey Guitar and Bass Center and Sweetwater.

90.

how about a 25 point bonus for anyone whose TB classified feedback rating has three digits in it. lol.

Methinks I have been exposed.......that puts me at 80....although maybe it should be divided by the number of years on TB......we may need a statistician to do some modeling........

 

[Burwabit]

65, not too bad right?

 

[vmabus]

105...

 

[thisSNsucks]

Having bought 3 great basses and 3 pedals in the last month, my GAS is under control for the moment

90.

Hmmm... let's see... I've got 126 feedback... so...

95 + 25 = 120

I scored very high (will not say how much, I'm ashamed of myself).

When I bought my 4001 I used to put it in the stand in the middle of the living room and seat dow lokking at it.

Another generation infected.

Another generation infected.

or maybe it's genetic......

5 - almost no GAS for basses, though I've started thinkng about getting a 6 string eventually.

Run a similar test in the effects forum though and I'll probably max out the meter.

90

That last one in the list had me laughing out loud

 

[davidchampoux]

Damn! I'm over 100!!!!

Sorry, I couldn’t take the time to read the OP and count it up, ‘cause after spending the day trying to get my present gear more organized (a small portion of which is bass gear), I have to catch up on my looking at gear on line before I go to bed and dream about gear.

But I really don’t think I have a problem, anyways.

 

[ROOTSnFIFTHS]

60 and not too proud of it. New Years resolution: Play/practice more....obsess over gear/aquiring new gear less.

Thank You.

45.

I'd add talking to your significant other about how this potential purchase bass will "cover the vintage tone, modern tone, slap tone, p-bass slot", or whatever other tone or vibe your collection is missing, all the while only trying to justify the purchase to yourself.
