Members jshaffer20 Posted May 4, 2012 Members Share Posted May 4, 2012 I was feeling the same way for a few weeks. Came so close to ordering a new 60's Tribute LP but I held off. Then my wife lost her job yesterday so I am REALLY glad I didnt go through with it I have enough gear right now but I know what you are feeling. Sometimes you just gotta have something NEW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NinjaRaf Posted May 4, 2012 Members Share Posted May 4, 2012 Yeah, I get that every now and then lol. Its friggin annoying. Then I play my rig through my 412 and I dont want anything anymore. I do have 2 guitars that are pretty much permanently on my GAS list, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ovid9 Posted May 4, 2012 Members Share Posted May 4, 2012 Constantly. Right now I'm gassing for something but I don't know what...so I've been buying parts to put together a partscaster. It seems to be working as I haven't made a major purchase in a bit... I was wondering why you were looking at Agile's man. I mean, I like my Agile and for the money they are nice guitars but compared to what you already have, yeah, well, you can't really make that comparison fairly. I really "need" a second 2x12 though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MattACaster Posted May 4, 2012 Members Share Posted May 4, 2012 Yeah, that's how I ended up ordering a black MIA Strat and a Silverburst MIC Strat a couple weeks ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pioneerprogress Posted May 4, 2012 Members Share Posted May 4, 2012 All the time. It's usually how I end up with cheapie guitars that I never really use or need.

Members KCTigerChief Posted May 4, 2012 Members Share Posted May 4, 2012 All the freaking time brother. Sucks! I try to just go play the gear I've got when I feel that coming on, and that generally fixes it...But sometimes it doesn't matter what I do, just want something new.

Members NinjaRaf Posted May 4, 2012 Members Share Posted May 4, 2012 wants to sell it to get a mako 412 I hear that. I wanna sell my whole rig and go with a mako 112 and a mini mak on a hand truck and call it a day. Im too lazy for a halfstack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 3volved Posted May 4, 2012 Members Share Posted May 4, 2012 I'm actually to the point where I'm thinking about selling more of my gear to pay down debt. I figure I have a solid amp and a great guitar & I don't gig so WTF do I need all this {censored} for? Time to focus on improving skill and not gear for this guy...

Members Cliff Fiscal Posted May 4, 2012 Members Share Posted May 4, 2012 Yep. In general prowling for gear online has become a daily routine. I can somehow manage living with wanting to own EVERYTHING....dreaming about being rich and having a massive gear collection. That kind of GAS is easy......just realize that I could never afford that kind of lifestyle......nor can I afford to be buying {censored} constantly (or at least shouldn't be). I also don't like trading and selling stuff all of the time. Gotta base my GAS on NEED, not want. I've tried to kill the GAS monster, but it's always lurking in the shadows waiting for a good deal to pop up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sixtonoize Posted May 4, 2012 Members Share Posted May 4, 2012 I've had that lately... just the general nagging feeling that I need to buy something.It changes daily, too. It goes back and forth between a Carvin Legacy, some sort of rack guitar preamp, a decent mic preamp, a feedback eliminator, and the Crate GX130C that's a a local pawnshop that I could get for about $3 more than dirt. But whenever i feel really serious about buying something, something comes up and I have to push the purchase off a day or two.By the time I can purchase whatever I wanted, I've realized that I don't want it anymore.

Members soundgardener75 Posted May 4, 2012 Members Share Posted May 4, 2012 I sold a nice SX LP Jr copy last year, so I was GASsing for a nice LP copy to mod. Found that Goth LP for $200 and a Yafeng Lulz Paul for $65. Life is good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pickinatit Posted May 4, 2012 Members Share Posted May 4, 2012 I fought gas for about 2 years....gas for a telecaster style guitar. I researched and researched watched Craigslist and E-Bay, Musicians Friend and Guitar Center...... I considered everything from $100 cheapies to $2000 Custom shop teles. I finally decided that NOW I'm REALLY going to buy one. I showed my wife a couple I had boiled it down to and she says to me...."They're all real nice but why do you want to buy another guitar anyway? You don't even play guitar in the band." (I play bass). So after that long exhausting, two year search.... I had a new bass four days later.!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ENdtime Posted May 4, 2012 Members Share Posted May 4, 2012 I'll get the feeling, but it's not hard to dismiss it.. Because generally its at a time where I have an average amount to spend.. Say $300-500.. All my gear is better than anything I can get in that price range, so I would never be happy just spending that money on gear that will just end up being inferior, unless it's a used gem like my 80's HM strat I found for that price. When I spend over a grand, I'm definitely not buying just because I have gas, but because I've figured out what will be an improvement over what I have.. But even then I'm finding these days, I have my sounds covered.. I have plenty of guitars that cover all grounds.. My amps are pretty much ingrained in my brain since I've had them for so long and I have some cool pedals and recording gear... There's not one thing I can't do, and do it well, with what I have. And when I do find myself wanting more from my sound, I turn some knobs or add an eq pedal or what ever can get a new tone but still with my gear.. And that has been working for me.. Like today, I scooped the mids, then added some back with an eq pedal in the loop. Did a recording that sounds really good and different than my normal tone... I'm happy.. And when I want my old tone back, I just turn them knobs back.. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
