What have you got GAS for at the mo?

Despite my attention being diverted by other basses, Spector GAS is still rampant... especially since I saw this today:

I'm GASing like frack for a Sandberg P bass, even though I have absolutely zero use for it. It's just as well I can't find a UK-based Cali VS to try, otherwise I fear I'd be a lot poorer...

And when on earth is the Nano POG going to be released?!? I waited patiently (well, not [i]that [/i]patiently) until April 14th (Anderton's predicted shipping date) only to see it slide to mid-May... I'm not sure I can take it...

Was fettling my MIM bitsa Precision Sunday morning after a gig and realised what I have REALLY wanted all along is to get my old (stolen in 1964) 1962 Sunburst Precision back. *sigh*

Since I couldn't afford to buy a real one, I guess I am forced to GAS over any of the 62 reissues that actually have that same wonderful wide-flat neck profile as mine.

So... Squier? MIJ? USA? Don't seem to be too many in the for sale section at th moment, either...

Ah well - At least I am over my Pedulla Buzz addiction now. Not too useful in a rock and roll band!

Me too - I especially like the zebra striped P with the MM humbucker in the bridge position! :gas:

I really shouldn't have any GAS
But I do keep coming back to look at this;
It was posted by Dazed on the Limelight thread
(apols for borrowing your pictures Dazed)

But it's just such a gorgeous colour
and the wear & tear just gives it a real vintage look

... but maybe I'd go for a P, rather than a Jazz - as I've already got too many of those!

Still got bad GAS for a medium scale Jazz bass JB-63M in black or white. I'm sure one will turn up eventually. Of course I could always order a new one from Japan but that isn't the point, really. Thrill of the chase and all that.

Silly GAS for a Squier Katana bass preferably in black.

GK MB 500 Fusion, or whichever order those initials go in. MB Fusion 500 GK? Quite like the idea of a valve preamp again.

All of which is pretty tame by some GAS standards. I must try harder! :)

Suddenly I have an urge for a 5 string, although having tried a Squire, I did not like it all.

Speaking as one who has owned (briefly) a Squier 5 along with many other 5s, I would say that that's because the Squier 5 is quite an unpleasant bass to play and there are many, many better 5s out there.

I don't have full blown GAS at the moment, as in GAS for stuff I've convinced myself I need to improve my setup (this is true GAS), but I still have GAS for things I like the look of...

A quick blast through the Bass Direct website has turned up these four I would very much like...









That Brubaker at the top is £499.... I really have no reason to click 'add to cart' yet still I keep hovering dangerously close to it.

For the moment, I am done with GAS!

Just looked at my last post #511 just 8 weeks ago and two of the three items I now have - a black Squier Katana and an amp with a valve preamp (albeit a Little Mark Tube 800).

Just need the medium scale Jazz in black or white and, er... well... maybe not an end but, you know...
