Epiphone EB3; a nice looking machine...if I may opine. I can't say when I'll get it...but I'll get before the end of the year.

Which GAS will you succumb to in 2013?

Hoping to be able to save up for a new Fender P-bass, (Possibly a MIM) maybe a used one here at TB. Depends on how much money I can gather, and what's available when I do. Not having much luck saving up yet, though.
P bass here also,... I really love the honey burst special Fender myself at GC. Especially at the price it is at this month. But just wondering if I should spend a couple hund. more and go for the standard..( and get a case) I love them too.
I'd love to have a Fender Select...they're very cool. My next choice would be a Chicago built Lakland, but only if my income improves significantly.
Sometime this year, I will need a cab to compliment my '59 Bassman clone. It would be awesome (but probably expensive) if could talk Sir Baer into covering a ML-112 with tweed...
Step one covered. Snagged a sweet JBL E-130 from JohnK! Step two is in the works - I found a guy in Peoria who's building some nice "tone ring" cabinets: Link Removed
I don't foresee any instrument purchases for 2013 because I commissioned my third Dingwall Super J near the end of last year. Cola burst over ash with matching headstock, five-string J/J with morado fretboard, no pick guard or control plate.
This^^^^
I too am just in love with that Honey Burst Special, and yea, that price is friggen hard to pass up...
I literally just bought an American Standard (last week)
, but for the price Guitar Center has on these Honey Burst Specials this month...I may have to go get one...
Some kind of Bass VI. Either the Eastwood Sidejack VI, the Schecter Hellcat VI, or maybe, just MAYBE, the new Fender Pawn Shop Bass VI that was just announced. Probably not, though, given that it's already disappointing on paper. I am in a punk/post-punk 3-piece and we could use something to fatten out the sound--at least that's what I'm telling myself.
This year i am ordering an ACC Graft and an SB4000. Plus i want to go all tube in amplification.

Yeah, I went ahead and picked up the honey burst p bass on Saturday. It's pretty sweet. First REAL fender I've owned and I'm pretty damn happy with it. The neck on my matt freeman squier has nicer fret ends, but has some raised frets at points creating buzz or dead notes in the higher register. The fender is totally consistent up the entire neck and plays wonderfully.
I just bought a GK MB 115II combo amp. I love it. I'm cut off from major purchases for awhile though. I mentioned that I need a new gig bag and my wife looked at me like she was going to do something evil to me.
I too was in love with the honeyburst American Special but could not find one I liked in person. So, heaven forgive me, I decided to spring for this one of a kind reproduction of a vintage Fender! Incoming!! 
And it looks like I had better sell some basses to keep the peace...

Marshall bass amps.
Been there in the 70's
Done that again in the 80's
Time to refresh my memory.

My GAS list in order:
Marshal 4x10 cab
Boss chromatic tuner pedal
Marshal bass head
Fender deluxe P special
And if I can get away with it:
Some sort of wireless system
Gibson T-bird
Musicman stingray 4 string
This list will probaly grow greatly through out the year.

2012 was a very good gear year for me...
I have a few "wants" but nothing I'm GASSING for...maybe a few pedal additions
Just wish I could find more time

Right now I'm trying hard not to think about it but I'm GAS'ng for a Warwick Jonas Hellborg Signature. Keep trying to put it out of my mind and of course one comes up used for sale - damn. Wife would kill me. The bigger problem is trying to hide it in the mix. I don't have any black basses.
