Slightly uncomfortable feeling...
« on: June 08, 2008, 12:09:27 PM »
Err, I have no GAS.  And it's unsettling.

There's no guitars I want or need, I have a few amps and cabs that I'm really happy with, and my pedalboard is perfect.

All the guitars that I wanted pickups for have now got those pickups (mostly BKPs) and my Squier Strat project is complete.

I'm scared.  Is the world about to end?   :o

I think this is the dormant state of GAS, sooner or later GAS is gonna smack you in the face, coincidentally as you smack your gob as you gawk at some AWESOME guitar, which you can imagine playing out in your own home/performance. And may result in the sacrifice of your current guitars or even your amp :o

Or yes, the world is going to end.

You are in serious trouble and you may have endangered the rest of us aswell. We should have no more speak of this lack of GAS and maybe get Ol to delete this thread... :wink:  :shock:

easy cure for that is to start listening to (or better yet, trying to play) slightly different music from what you usually do. hey presto, you have GAS for a whole new rig.

No, I've been the same for weeks.  And I haven't got anything like the amount of gear you have (amps or pedal wise, that is  :lol: ).

I have a few projects in the works, but already got all the parts so they're not costing me anything.  And I do have another idea in mind, but can't decide whether to get a custom job (eventually) or do it on the cheap.  So it's not stressing me at all.

It's nice, enjoy it while it lasts.  :wink:

I feel the same, I'm happy with what I have (except for one guitar I'm still undecided about...) and not lusting after much. Still planning a custom job though...

This is the reason I ended up buying a Fender Tele. Listened to a lot of country + country rock for a few weeks, and nothing else would do.  :wink:

How about I 'borrow' your Mira for, I dunno... a couple of years or two? That way you will have G.A.S. to get it back, and when (eventually) I return it, it will be of no extra cost to you!!! What a plan that is, eh?!  :D  :wink:

Interesting phraseology Sambo.

Don't worry Twinfan; a lack of GAS is a shortlived thing.

Sounds like it's time to actually PLAY what you got !

If I spent as much time practicing as I do reading up about different guitar gear online, I'd be as good as EVH.

I do suspect that this state of peace in the Twinfan GAS-brain may be relatively short-lived, so just enjoy it while it lasts.

Hmmm.  What a strange idea.  Play it?  I can't quite get my head round the concept.  :?
