tauzero Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 On 18/11/2017 at 20:54, FinnDave said: I must be getting ill. I was in Oxford today with my wife and she asked if I wanted to drop in at the music shop (our rather splendid newly located PMT on the Cowley Road) and I said...no....I can't think of anything I need....even worse, I couldn't even think of anything I wanted, either! I'm sure there must be a cure for something as serious as this, but what is it? Go to the bike show instead. Your GAS may have been transposed.

super al Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Hey Dave has your wife got a younger sister? I think my wife actively avoids going anywhere near music shops!

fleabag Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 You have a seriously sh*te bass, as witnessed by me at many Fat Lils jams. You seriously need to get a damn good plank in your arse nal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiophonic Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Fortunately PMT in Nottingham is utterly useless for bass gear. This allows me to regularly play the 'of course I don't want to take a detour via the music shop' card, thus giving the false impression that my GAS is in remission.

dmccombe7 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Don't think its an illness you have. Good chance you have a chemical imbalance causing temporary insanity. If it doesn't pass relatively soon i would suggest giving up playing bass and send all your bass gear up here to someone who would look after them and give them the care, love and attention they so rightly deserve. Failing that we can offer the use of a white jacket that zips up the back if that helps. Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) Thanks, Dave, glad someone appreciates and understands the mental anguish this is causing. I'll get all my listed and offered at too-good-to-be-true prices and then, once my spare room is empty, hopefully the pleasing reassurance of GAS will return. Your offer of a smart white jacket is noted and appreciated. My size is XL. Edited November 21, 2017 by FinnDave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's my duty as a responsible member of society to have GAS and purchase more gear??? Right, I'm off to the "For sale" thread.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmccombe7 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Think its nice to be content in life. Altho an Orange ad2000b might be the trigger point for some severe chemical imbalance on my part. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebass456 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Ever tried a ukulele bass? I got to the same state as you a couple of years ago, then bought a kala ubass for an acoustic duo i'm involved in and bingo!!! Got three now, and always get the centre of attention when we play? (much to the frustration of the singer/guitarist!). Now having a go at making my own solid body ubass, so the world of components, tools and late nights in the shed with Planet Rock on the radio are now my addiction??

FinnDave Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 No, I don't feel the need for anything new, that's the problem, the puzzling absence of GAS. I perfectly happy with what I've got for the first time in living memory! Be interesting to see how long this situation lasts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
