I'd really like to get to your gig and hear the new set-up, but we're at The Elms in Worthing that night, sorry.. Our next Brighton gig is at Horatio's on The Pier on May 25th which is a Sunday.. When's your next gig?[/quote] No other gigs in the pipeline. Drop me a line nearer the Horatio's gig and I'll try to get down and say hello.

Now that Blue-ray has won the DVD format war I thought I would have a look. Players are getting relatively cheap but looking at the software there is hardly anything I would want to buy And I really dont need another bass but there has been some god-awful temptation lately [/quote] So, what's missing from the wall display?

johnnylager Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I can honestly say that I am currently in remission from GAS with regards to my sound. I love all my current kit, it works together beautifully and the best bit believe it or not, has to be the Geddy Lee with the Wizard 84's and a series / parallel switch - I just love the noise it makes. Or does the compressor make it sound that way? Or is it the preamp valve? Oh, the D-tuner should arrive by the end of the week. With the pedal PSU. I hereby rescind my initial statement. GAS is like piles. Or herpes - a friend for life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of that I've got an EBD multicomp and and EBS Micro Bass preamp....[/quote] I'm not really sure why you think you have a problem! Now you don't have to worry about anything other than playing this great gear. GAS is a waste of energy and you should now be concentrating on practising and gigging.

markytbass Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I have bouts of GAS, my wife thought she had cure me by buying me a Sting Ray (how wrong she was). I also suffer from sell to buy syndrome (STBS) which can lead to the following. Buy Jap P'bass, convince myself I need 2 basses, Buy Bass Collection. See nice 78 USA P'bass which I must have. Sell Bass collection to buy USA P'bass. Convince myself that I need a Jazz bass, find a nice Fernandez Jazz. Sell Jap P'bass to fund Jazz. Sell everything to pay for rent deposit . 10 years later given permission to start playing in a band again. Decide to go active so get a Cort, convince myself that I could do with a passive bass so get a Yamaha BB414. Wife buys me a Sting Ray (eventually got the bass I've always wanted, or so I thought) sell the BB to put money towards the Ray. Need 5 string for new venture so sell Cort and other bits and pieces to pay for Yamaha RBX765. I regret selling the 2 Fenders I had. Starting to crave a nice P or jazz but can't afford to buy one without selling the Sting Ray. But then I would probably regret selling that. Just have to wait for that lottery win.

Soulfinger Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 In a recent fit of Anti-GAS (brought about by the acquisition of a seriously wonderful MM SUB Sterling) I sold three Fenders and a Yamaha. Just when I thought I had everything under control, a tax return came my way - and the opportunity to buy a pair (!) of Jazz basses for a very reasonable price. Now what am I to do? Good grief, it never ends... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
