What's wrong with me - can't stop shopping :-)

Yeah, because I put my current Bass on Lay-a-way, not by my choice, my grades weren't great. The entire time from when I got home from the time I picked it up in the store I was worried I'd made the completely wrong choice, but when I got that Aluminum neck in my hands plugged it into my super cheap practice amp and turned up the volume. I knew I had the right Bass, although I GASSED for an 8 string bass, found one I'd want to buy then realised I had nothing to shop for so now I'm saving for my 8 string. Realized I needed a Bass to keep at my school. GAS never stops, you must make sure your only GASSING for something you can use.
 
Yeah, sigh, FedEx delivered bass number #9 today; adding it to the herd I'm supposed to be thinning this year. :meh:
But I also sold my cherished GB STM-900 yesterday, so that helped.....some.

New to me bass #9 is "Valenti #25", pretty awesome bass I thought would end my GAS. But I'm now thinking I want Nino to build me one with my specs. Very good build quality and great tone/feel. Well, necks a little chunkier than I like so my spec built Valenti will have a slimmer neck profile.

So I am now for sure gona sell off a couple or three basses soon. And I said it out loud in front of the wife......so it's gona happen now. Prolly. :confused:
