TheGreek Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 It may be too early to tell but after finally getting my hands on a Wal Mk1 (Cheers Si) I'm hoping that my GASing days are over for a while.... Now all I need to do is sell my fretless VC, Steinberger headless and Jaydee Supernatural... Anybody GASing for any of these?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raggy Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I think....... quite possibly..... maybe after Saturday I very well could be GAS free. For a little while at least GAS is a cruel Mistress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the kits just have a pitch arial which simply isn't expressive enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I daren't even poke my head above the parapet given my history Nevertheless I now have my dream P bass (YOB '63P), my dream fretless (Wal Mk1) and a gorgeous Jazz (wesfinn's Herbie Flowers-inspired '59-alike) so its difficult to think of what I could GAS over, especially as rigs have rarely excited me. Best move on to DB-type stuff then! In which case a lovely original '60s Ampeg baby Bass would be nice. B*gger, so I'm not GAS-free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB3000S Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I've quit the nicotine and all but laid off alcohol, so I don't feel so bad suffering from the odd GAS attack. Frankly, I enjoy GAS a whole lot more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munkonthehill Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 with my ric and Jag im bass gas free. Im in the market for a cheap but pretty decent backup that I would be using when I stand in at the local jam. Amp wise I want the orange bass terror rig ideally the 2x12 cab with it. But I rarely even use my Markbass combo so I think I will hold off until I am gigging more and get more of a feel for the MB combo for now. So Yeah I would say im gas free and long may it last.

lemmywinks Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Currentlt really want a Promethean but can't justify it as i really don't need it. I have a featherweight practice rig and a compact gig rig, any more would be pure greed! I'm actually GASsing for some space around the house so i'm having a bass gear clearout.

gjones Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) After buying MattM's MM SUB last weekend I'm pretty GAS free as far as basses are concerned. I still would like a lightweight amp and cab so I don't need to lug around my great sounding but heavy Fender Bassman but I wouldn't classify that as GAS just common sense (and I don't lust after amps like I do basses they're just a necessary evil). I do fancy a J-retro for one of my Jazzes though, as I 've got quite a liking for active basses since the arrival of the Musicman. Edit - Oooops, I lied! I really fancy a double bass and am seriously thinking of selling my Fender Jazzes to finance one. Edited May 19, 2011 by gjones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Not GAS free at all. Nearly there though, I'll soon have all of the kit I need, so won't have to buy anything ever again... ...I think I have a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucky Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 i think being a few hundred miles away from all my gear for months/weeks at a time [s]is helping[/s] has helped me to curb the GAS recently, but now the end is in sight i've started to peruse the for sale sections quite regularly. my pedal board is bigger than my pedal collection and one can never have too many FX options, so that's not reeeaaaaly GAS and i really [u]neeeed[/u] a new small amp that can fit in my little student room, so that doesn't count either but at least bass-wise im GAS free- unless someone has a black gibson tbird studio IV... i'm going to a poor mans grave, but i'm taking some expensive basses with me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Thats the thing with GAS, you get it when you least expect it. Who's to say when it will next hit. Luckily (lol) all my money has recently gone on camera gear so now im skint. No way GAS can attack me at he moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwan Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 [quote name='Johnston' post='1237754' date='May 20 2011, 09:07 AM']Then I played the 50's CV yesterday for the first time [/quote] Was that the one in Matchetts? Saw one in there the other day but didn't have time to play anything... I'm GAS free at the minute after the arrival of my Terror Bass the other day. Actually planning a bit of gear consolidation - going to clear out some basses and rig stuff (see sig) to replace it with something smaller and more modular (by adding a second GS112). Don't class that as GAS myself... OK so I'd [i][b]like[/b][/i] a PJ/PP/PM of some description, but if one doesn't come along I'll be fine without.

Rich Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I am entirely GAS-free at the moment. Mainly because I am so skint, I make a church mouse look like Croesus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's far more wallet-denting...[/quote] Funny thing is i dont tend to change my camera gear as frequently as i do with my basses so its not so bad. This year is the first time in about 4 years ive brought any new gear, and i sold off some old gear to help pay for it. Saying that, my CV Jazz is a year old next month so im doing well.

Muzz Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) Well, amp-wise, I've been GAS-free for a year or so now with the RH450/1515L, and I haven't played a bass in a long time which made me think "Ooooh, gotta have that". Still idly contemplating a YOB bass, but that's pie-in-the-sky, 64-Precision-with-a-maple-board stuff, i.e. lottery win time. Since I realised that I'm never gonna get one bass to do everything I want, I'm more than happy with my Franken-Ps and Fortress. Haven't touched the Ray or the Jazz in a while, might get round to moving them on, but prices at the moment suggest I'll be better holding onto them for a while yet. That said, I've a couple of project builds I'm dying to finish, with a wenge/ebony Warmoth neck and a pair of Thumpers... On a slightly unrelated topic, it's been a year since I had to sell my motorbike, and it's the first year in 29 I haven't had one, so I'm very very surprised that I don't miss it at all.

Sibob Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I'm gonna join the gas-free club now Really happy with everything, I don't think I could improve on anything. I'm gonna really knuckle down with my playing as I seem to have become slightly gear obsessed over the last 6months. Having said that, I'm kinda getting into my girlfriends GAS.....Roller Derby...skates haha. Oh and tattoo GAS will always be there, my other arm needs starting....and my chest...hmmm, glad bass is out the way Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truckstop Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Oddy enough, I only have GAS for accessories at the moment. I'm loving my basses and my GK/Ampeg rig, don't want to change them at all! I want some new leads, one of those new ultra-modern safe bass bags, some stands, a couple of nice new straps, an EBS mircobass and a J East pre. Maybe a refin for my Jazz too. I've always loved tobacco burst and then it'll match the Precision innit. Gotta have matching basses! Truckstop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_nottm Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Not at all. Even when I'm really happy with what I have I'll still be keeping an eye out for things. Like a jazz from 1973, or a 75 reissue, or another aerodyne. But that's all. Or or a spare amp. But nothing else. Oh, or a lightweight practice amp perhaps. Maybe a peavey t40 if one came along. But really, that's all...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
