    Default Severe GAS attack...

    So I'm perusing the local buy, sell and swap guide today and found a fellow selling his Fender Hotrod Deluxe for REALLY cheap. Figuring it was AFU, I decided to check it out anyways. The thing is *cherry*. As in "has never left his bedroom". Sold.

    I also checked out a not-so-local music store today (it's about 90 minutes north of here), hoping to score the elusive used monitors, which they didn't have. I scanned the wall of guitars and bemoaned a lack of semi-hollows. "Oh," said the lady. "Just got one in... wanna try it?"

    And I did. And for the price, I couldn't not take it.

    Meet "Fat Girl", my new hollow body Oscar Schmidt.








    (Oh, and I wound up with a couple of sweet brand new Peavey monitors for what I was looking to pay for a set of used ones. When I finally got cell signal, I called the woman to let her know what I'd done... she screeched with JOY and said she couldn't wait to hear everything... and now she's even happier!) :-)

    Thanks, maine.

    I feel a lot better about only having bought one guitar this week...
    Ah, nothing relieves the discomfort of GAS pains like the sound of the UPS truck rumbling down your street. It's like the musician's Beano.

    @Blooz.. but I only bought one guitar too! Damn near walked out of there with an acoustic resonator too, but I didn't like how it sounded..

    @BBW... my woman is from northern California, actually... and she LOVES blues. And for whatever reason, she really loves them when I play. :-)

    In all fairness, the monitors have been "in the budget" for a couple months now. All in all today, I spent less than a grand. Tax returns are wonderful! :-)

    Not really, Kazz.... I've never seen a Squire that well made. ;-) The damn thing weighs twice as much as my LP. :-)
