Brain and ears, are they connected?

Ed's thought for the day

Why do I keep imagining that I really need stuff and then find I don't use it, while other times I end up with stuff almost by accident and love it?

Examples:
Bassballs, wasn't looking for one but was offered one along with a guitar case. Found an immediate use for it recordiing.
Harke VXL Bass Attack, bought it 2nd hand to try it and I now use it all the time. I seem to find the sounds I want really easily.
Boss ODB3 distortion pedal. It sounds how I expected and I just don't use it.

So what do I do yestarday? I just purchase a MXR Bass Blowtorch. It hasn't arrived and I'm already asking myself "why?" I don't use the distortion pedal I have.

What I want and what I end up uising all seems too random to me, I think there is some sort of disconnect between my ears and my head or maybe its just good marketting?

It's called GAS. There isn't really a cure for it and a lot of us here on BassChat have it... welcome to the club!

The worst part is when you think it's done with, two or three weeks of contentment, that's it - I've got everything I need..... well, nearly.... ooh look at that...

Then it starts again

Yep that sounds like the problem
