Basschatitis: Symptoms & treatment

[Beedster]

So in a PM just now I described the condition Basschatitis. In the interests of medical science, I suspect we - as suffsrers - need to clarify symptoms and define treatments.

 

Feel free to contribute......

The pathological compulsion to advocate for the merits of the P-bass with flats.

No cure known to medical science.

Ah, but no cure needed for those afflicted  

[TheGreek]

Our need to justify our own GAS by encouraging it in others.

[Old Horse Murphy]

Huge build ups of GAS

[lozkerr]

Asking if something is good for metal.

[Downunderwonder]

More basses than days of the week.

[Downunderwonder]

Has two of a pedal.

Checking the 'for sale' thread every ten minutes, looking for the 'one'!

[Clarky]

Posting "I am done, GAS is over" to be followed by selling on/replacing every single bass within days/weeks. And repeat

I resemble this remark.

 

Also arranging two hours drives to meet up at a service station, audition each others bass in the car park and then geek about bass over a coffee inside.

Check. 

Days of the month.... Check. 

Looks like days of the year is the next logic target. 🙈

You have bassburstitis, in both elbows!!

[acidbass]

Possible cures:

 

- Fitting with a Kiogon loom (if allergic to passive - try a John East pre)

- Try 'wearing' TI flats

- High quality bitsa

- Needs to be sub-8lbs

Ah yes, another symptom. Inability to see beyond basses designed at least 60 years ago.

Oh bugger, is that actually a thing? I said to my band on Thursday that I might need two Octave pedals as I feel one is not enough.

[Gasman]

Buying 2 new shorty basses (a 4 and a 5) for our guitarist to play on three numbers so I can play sax...
