Hey folks,

I suffer from a disease called the "No G.A.S. Syndrome".
I aquired my last equipment in January 2007 (Toneport UX1).

Although saving money for pedals, I took the safed money last saturday and bought two Australian parrots with all accessories for my kids - can you believe that????

Something was wrong and now I figured out that it is the No GAS disease.

Do you guys have a secret cure for this?

Jimi :)
 
Oh, my, this is serious. You, must, MUST, travel to the nearest music store and buy something, even if it's just a pick or a pack of strings.

That'll jumpstart the GAS, when you walk in and see all those purty guitars and shiny amphs sitting around, all lonely and needing a good home to go to. It is imperative that you try as many different products that you can, in order to find something you like. The purchase will get you in a spending mood.

Always works for me. If that doesn't get the GAS back, then nothing will.:AOK:
 
Oh my God! You have transcended GAS. All hail to the enlightened one.:DR

I must come study under you to gain all this wisdom and control.:)

Just out of curiosity...what gauge strings did your parrots come with.:rolleyes:
 
Don't worry, Jimi, G.A.S. is like malaria. It never goes away completely, it just becomes dormant for a while. You'll have a relapse sooner or later, it's just a matter of time...;)
 
All my GAS has been diverted to my new hobby...1:32 scale slot-car racing. Here are my car, and my son's car:

Very cool cars, my father and I spent many a hour racing our RC cars down at the local church. I have to spread my GAS as I have to many hobbies and not enough job.

Mind you I bought 3 guitars in 2 weeks so I am all gassed out on the guitars, with winter coming to my area we tend to slow down on the spending and look forward to doing things at home.

Mind you between video games, guitars, movies, and music I have no time anyhow..

man, looking over my post you would think I was 3 not 33 :thwap:
 
Me and a grown up? Hell, no way my friends.
Forever young.

I will visit a music store soon - very soon!

:Dude:

What is this "maturity and a sense of fiscal responsibility" of which you speak?

Ignorance is bliss as they say. You'll probably have to get on top of your house soon to take your gear photos.:AOK:

Do that, but don't fall into the trap of believing you need to buy something. I respect your restraint.
 
hmmm yes i see i have had this problem before. the answer is do your guitars poop everywhere
 
I think that Jimi, with the purchase of TWO parrots at once, has clearly moved beyond G.A.S. to P.A.S. - Parrot Acquisition Syndrome. In other words, it would seem that he has P.A.S.sed G.A.S.:D

Speaking of immature, if not juvenile... Sorry, Jimi - no offense intended - when it struck me, I just couldn't resist...

Oh man, you made my day! I am still laughing reading your words!

P.A.S.

Thank you for that!!!! Great!!!!!

Jimi,

If you want the GAS to return, I would suggest selling some stuff you are not using. The void this creates, along with the gear money it generates, should re-ignite your gas.

Quite true. Nature (and guitarists) abhor a void.
