What are you GASsing for?

First off, a disclaimer: I know this thread exists in some format elsewhere, but I haven't seen it on the front page in forever. So why not just do a new one? That's the route I'm taking, I hope you can all follow along.

My top GAS items, in no particular order:
(1) Empress Heavy (more for guitar, but would love to try it on bass too)
(2) MS-60B
(3) Fuzz---I have some fuzz options in my current setup (Empress Multidrive, M5, even the Pitchfactor has an octave fuzz), but I would love a more straightforward, nasty bass-oriented fuzz. The Amptweaker Bass Tight Fuzz, IE Oxide, SS/BS TAFM, or even a Dr. Scientist The Elements (I know it doesn't get quite to fuzz, but I hear it gets close) are all on my radar.

So, what about the rest of you?

Will buy eventually
- A small DI. Mooer, DHA, Avenon, others
- Wireless. Line6 G30/G50, Shure or Sony are also possibles
- Reverb. Neunaber WET/Chroma stereo, or possibly EQD Dispatch Master

On the list if there's a lottery win :)
- Amptweaker Bass TightDrive and TightFuzz
- Boss GT-100 multieffect

I have a Rat Tail and would like to add a Demon, BDPG and possibly a Stache, but I'm in no real rush to do so.

I'd also like to get a B7K, but I'm not sure I need one. The B3K is such an integral part of my sound now, and I'd like to see how much more of a difference the B7K would make.

I think the pedal I'd like to get most is a Rusty Box, but the extra power supply required for it would be a big downside.

Been gassing for the new little zoom pedal. For 2 weeks.

Was also gassing for one of the Vox basses with the built in amp.

Found the cure.

Just ordered the zoom pedal 5 minutes ago.

The Vox is sitting next to me. It's 2 weeks old. :)

I gotta get a grip on this stuff.

Nowadays my GAS has greatly subsided (board is almost full, kids, bills, blah blah blah). With that said I'm really GASsing for a Mooer Eleclady. I miss having a flanger on my board, tried one a few days back and its perfect! Also I only have room for one more pedal and it has to be 1590A sized...

Hmmm... nothing too serious these days, except for an MXR BOD. The rest is rather benign, but still tickles a bit:

- EHX Micro Q-Tron
- VT Bass (Character Series)


EDIT: I'm taking the AW-3 out of the equation and adding a fretless bass. As fretless would be totally new for me, this would work.

Strike all dat crap.
I'm fighting the urge to buy a Zoom MS60B. I'll try to get through the day without buying one.

But me down for GASing for the Ditto Looper as well. Also I'm ready to go into the tremolo world so I'm sure after some research I will be GASsing for some tremolo pedals.

On a side note I've never understood what exactly is GAS? is it in acronym? a reference to some kind of hidden joke I haven't understood. We all know what it means but where did it originate from? lol

It's an acronym, for the Gear Aquisition Syndrome disorder.
