My anti-GAS is playing a lot. When I'm playing I'm not thinking about stuff I might want to buy.
This is so true. Best recipe for not wanting, is to stop looking and playing what you have. For me anyway...but it helps that I have been able to acquire most of what I "thought" I wanted anyway. has been some expensive lessons along the way in finding out that that thing I couldn't possibly live without was not no necessary after all. Primarily, this has been my story with pedals. After going through a big phase of experimentation, I am back to simplicity and enjoying the freedom. Now...what to do with all those pedals that I still like but don't use...first world problems for sure.
