Anyone else lost gear through being overpowered by GAS?

It's easy to lose sight of the fact that it's your attitude towards playing and what you play that counts. Gear is only part of the equation. What am I saying!? GET OUT THERE AND BUY MORE GEAR AT ONCE!! BWA-HA-HA-HA!!

I'm of the opinion that you only need one bass.



One in the lounge
One upstairs
One at work
One for gigs where it may have to be used as a weapon
One for best
One in blue
One in orange
And so on and so on.

Oh man, that is the saddest first line in a blues song ever. Congrats, I suppose, but I think even playing this song backwards will not get you back to where you once belonged ...

I have the kind of GAS with 'exchanges disabled mode'. I'd only buy new (in terms of not having them previously, not the condition) basses, specific ones I desire, not every one and if I'm satisfied, I never sell them. The only bass I sold was Ibanez ATK310, for it was too modern for my tastes, and not too comfortable.

Within the last year I've bought three basses I've always dreamed of: Fender Precision Bass, Peavey T-40 and Fender Telecaster II bass (well, sort of). And while Peavey, a great player in fact, is a bit whimsical part of the collection, I'm quite sure the both Fenders are pretty much everything I need. But still I want to have 51' P-bass and Fender Jazz Bass and I'm sure I'd find a good use for them, too.

I think we all get over GAS sooner or later. Having bought, traded, made and customised many a bass in my time I find myself looking for the next bass constantly but in the last 6 months I keep finding myself thinking... Is it going to be any better than my No.1 bass? to which the answer is inevitably no. The journey I've been on was extremely roundabout but I have finally realised that what someone once told me is true, one day you'll find 'the one' and all other will pale in comparison.
I've bought nothing but strings and picks this year! And do you know what. I'm happy about it

I'm fond of my Fortress Masterman (5) too. Cracking bass. I've only sold on a couple of basses , and then only ones that weren't getting enough use. I'd never sell a "keeper" to assuage my GAS..

I think you're a lucky one voodoosnake, I still have my favourite bass ever, my '72 Precision. My problem is that I need 5 strings for one of my bands, and I really like having a low B, so my ideal bass would be a '72 P, with 5 strings.......even a modern Precision 5 just doesn't do it, I don't like the low Bs. I like my SR5, and my G&L5, but they're just not the same.........I fear I'll never have what I want.


I'll guess I'll just have to keep buying more basses.

So far this year i've bought a precision, pedalboard, pedals, power supply, cables, strings, strap, picks, and i need a few more pedals, some more strings, a pickup, bridge and P bass wiring harness. Safe to say, i have a severe case of GAS, but thankfully, a lack of funding to support said GAS.

I've had the same bass for over 2 years now and use it every day. Before that i was chopping and changing but found a bass that plays like a dream and sounds phenomenal. I toyed with selling it a while back and came to my sense. Can't see it going anywhere any time soon.
