Wilco Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Spotted another Maruszczyk I REALLY want. Haven't got the readies to buy it & equally really do not want to sell anything I've got. Gonna end up in someone else's hands ain't it - dammit!! GAS - a first world problem admittedly, but a very annoying one! ☹️ Quote
discreet Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 It's not GAS that's the problem, its not having the wherewithal to do anything about it, as you know... Quote

Well I used to think that but I recently received a cheque from my wife in payment for agreeing not to be married to her any more and as much as I planned to salt it away it's been pouring through my fingers like sand. The only truly bizarre thing is I've not bought any bass guitars . Yet. Quote

stewblack Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Just now, discreet said: You had me worried right up to the 'Yet.' Well, If the Bass Centre had the Bruce Thomas sig in stock things may have been different. Quote
discreet Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Just make sure you buy a bass before it all gets spent on things you don't need. Quote

Like the deposit on my daughter's house which she will then let me live in? That was kind of the plan. Actually my excuse is the Brexit economic meltdown will see us wheeling barrows of money to buy a set of strings before long, so I'd better shift it all now. 1 Quote
stewblack Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Back to Wilco's post. Those Maruszczyk bases are absolutely gorgeous and I cannot justify buying one so I feel the pain. Also my absolute ultimate P bass was up for sale here recently and I definitely dare not go near it. It will disappear over the horizon and I will have to wave it goodbye from the beach Quote
Bolo Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 I NEED NOTHING! However a Spector lx5 in trans red keeps haunting my dreams. 1 Quote

NickD Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Maruszczyks are rubbish for curing GAS anyway, I've got a pair but I still go twitchy everytime I see one in the marketplace. Quote
stewblack Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 A new bass cures GAS like vodka cures alcoholism. 1 1 Quote

See where you're coming from. However without the initial GAS, the question of the wherewithal would never come up! 😆 22 hours ago, NickD said: Maruszczyks are rubbish for curing GAS anyway, I've got a pair but I still go twitchy everytime I see one in the marketplace. Glad I'm not alone. Trouble is, they are so distinctive they are difficult to sneak past the Mrs without her noticing. Not that I would ever condone that sort of behaviour obviously..... 😳🤥 Anyway, GAS frustration has subsided a little as said instrument is for sale used, & after a play on the configurator this morning, I have sussed that I can get a new virtually identical one for pretty much the same money if i wanted.

The one thing we both agreed on was no solicitor would line his or her pocket as a result of our unhappiness. We came to an agreement at the kitchen table. she kept everything and I only got paid as much as she could afford. Quote
