I was unfamiliar with the term GAS until recently-- i knew i had it, without even knowing what it meant.. and i knew i had it bad..
i just turned 19 and i have gone through a ****LOAD of gear..
to name off a few things i have got in the past year n a half or so
-musicman jp (used)
-musicman axis supersport (on its way)
-rg1570 (upgraded the pups)
-repaired / modded a squire (like 600$ CA at my cost)
-modded a mexi strat (like 700ish at my cost)
-bought my podxt n **** back from a friend
-a cheap korg processor for headphone practice
-about 10 stompboxes (voodoo labs, visual sound, boss, ibanez)
-genz benz el diablo 100c
-marshall 1960A & 6505+head
-fender supersonic 112
the list goes on but those are my more memorable purchases.. i taught guitar for a living this year and also worked in a store where i got great discounts.. i have saved SOME money for schooling, car, **** like that.. but the majority of my earnings definately went towards gear.. i am still paying bills for some things, and already I am anxious to get a Gator ATA roadcase for my 6505 & a gator pedal tote for my pedals..
i didnt really make this thread to brag about how much money i spend on gear.. i just want to know::::::: Will i stop doing this when I am married and settled down?? Will I still dream at night about having this certain amp, or guitar?? How often will I get in a fight with my wife over a new piece of gear that I want to buy??
Tell me youre guys experience and learnings about this and list your list of gear that was purchased due to GAS over the last year or two!!!
