GAS effects, marketing, and usefulness

[kiteman]

Well said Lead (that makes me think of nuff said fred)

In my case I just wanted better stuff. I started out on budget stuff and worked my way up. Still I am guilty of being attracted by novelties and learned to be more realistic about it.

Now I'm satisfied with one guitar, one amp and one MFX pedal that I have. I have older stuff that's not really old yet but I've expected too much in return for them when I tried to sell 'em.

You're a fine poet, Kiteman

When I look at your equipment list and see Bogner Alchemist I have liittle wonder why you are happy with your amp!

[Eric***]

I buy new stuff all the time because I get a big kick out of it. That's it really.

Thing is, I think that's fine if you come to terms with it. For some reason it's important for me to define that novelty part of it for myself and roll it around in my head for awhile.

Me, a poet?
Well, you know it.

Thanks with the amp, I can't do better than that.

Shame on you Robert.

me too.

[Katastrophe]

I blame Robert.

It's all his fault, really.

If he didn't play so well, and post so many videos, I wouldn't GAS for half the suff I now want.

I also want to be able to have so many guitars that I have to do a rooftop shot like Spudman. It's a fantasy, though, because if I bought one more guitar or amp right now I'd probably be homeless.

I swear I could have written exactly what Eric has. Exactly how I feel. Right now I need no gear but was just browsing the local buy-sell site for musicians just in case I find something cheap I MUST have, and I swear I don't know why I do that daily...can't help it...
