Which GAS will you succumb to in 2013?

Not a bass, but I just got a fantastically good price on an alto flute, less than half the least expensive prices in catalog. It comes from knowing the local music store owner, who had the flute for a while without sale, and he wanted to clear it out of the shop. I bought my regular flute with the b foot from him, so he knew I was a serious flute player, so offered me the price...and I grabbed it immediately.
 
:help:

Save us all from GAS!! If the War Department starts actually counting basses then I will be in deep guano. :scowl: Three just sold, couple more awesome ones on the way! :D

OK then...TC Electronic BH-250. Then of course it'll need a 1x12 cab for portability...Oh yeah, and have you seen the pix of the new Fender AVRI series? Sonic Blue P, LPB Jazz? Yowza.
 
I'm all set with basses and an amp...finally and thank God!!

Not sure, but I might try out the Zoom B3 that everyone's raving about. But what I'd really like to do is to get new pickups for my Strat. I experimented with that guitar like mad and ended up with a humbucker in it. But I'd really like to get it back to the way it was because I miss that sound.
 
As I started 2012 I thought that if I were lucky I just might be able to pick up a used American Precision. I ended up with a brand new 60th Aniversary Precision, a sweet 72 Tele bass, a used 2011 American Standard Jazz and a 1995 Musicman Stingray. The year went WAY beyond my dreams year wise.

So...

What's in store for 2013? Well, I know of a 2004 Jetglow Rickenbacker 4003 that I can get for a really good price. I'm counting my dimes and nickels, we'll see if it is still avalible when I have the funds. I'd love to get an American made Ampeg tube head and 410 cabinet. I want to start taking my PA up to the next level too.

We'll see what happens in 2013.
 
Probably gonna get an EBS Classic t-90 head. Buyin second hand and It's a really good deal so I just hope it suits me well... Been GASing for tubes fora while, but I don't exactly have use for an SVT, so 90 watt 16kg head should be just perfect :D
 
Mines already out of the way...a 2x18

Hopefully that will keep my GAS down.

Dude. That looks huge.
 
Great idea. I'm 50 in July. I just decided that I'm getting an early 70's Fender Jazz. There is 'burst one in the Classifieds that I almost have to have. It will be from my wife but she doesn't know it yet. She thinks she bought me a Mediterranean cruise but that was for her :) I just need to get a job now. :eyebrow:

Good luck bro. These are tough times.

I'd rather be home with an unplayable firewood bass I just pulled from a restaurant dumpster than on a Mediterranean cruise.
 
1) Nitro-finished P-bass of some sort
2) Cab for my Fender 100t
3) Pedals, specifically some dirt pedals, and maybe the MXR bass chorus.

None of it is pressing, I'll take my time finding them, hopefully I can pick up what I want used and save some cash.
