dealing with GAS

[rnolan]

Hey RG nice  :thumb-up: , but you had me gong with the ebay break in theme also  :facepalm:

[rabidgerry]

Ok well just for the record as I don't want anyone else concerned, I didn't havbe an intruder in my ebay account buying me nice things.

I just said that as I needed an excuse for the GAS!

[tomy]

Excellent now I am quite glad I fooled you as I have provided you with an great excuse next time you need to buy a sneaky bass purchase!

Yeah ! but in return my wife also can say :" Look... Someone broke into your ebay account and bought you a........LOVELY, NICE, AND BEAUTIFUL EXPENSIVE HANDBAG" :facepalm:

Well it is very me that axe!  Superstrat and not a common variety one.  I like Tokai guitars, I think their very under estimated and underated.

And Me thinking ;" Please God, send me someone who hijack my ebay account in the same way"  ;D

Nice score,  Gerry. As cool as that guitar is, I think I'm more impressed that you managed to convince some people that someone had hacked your account,  bought a guitar and then had it shipped to you. Well done.  :bow:

Hey RG, the fact you're laughing at my lack in english leave me with... NOTHING BUT A BITTER TASTE !  :lol:

Nice looking axe, Gerry!

don't you guys hate it when you find a piece of gear for a good price but someone managed to snatch it up before you do.

my local store had an eventide eclipse for 899CAD, i wanted to buy it but it was on hold.

pissed off as hell.

[rnolan]

I kind of console myself with, if I was meant to have it....then I would, there's always more gear to be had. But I understand your disappointment. Then again, GAS isn't necessarily a rational thing, many of us have much more gear than we need or can even use.

Nice looking axe, Gerry!

Cheers man, I think so.  Never really liked the pointy headstock on strats but this guitar as a whole seems to appeal to me.  I have a very similar Custom Edition Tokai and it featured on the album a lot, sounds great!  Pickups including the single coils really have a nice tone!

Then again, GAS isn't necessarily a rational thing, many of us have much more gear than we need or can even use.

Yes I agree, I'm excessive.  I cull down once and a while though.  Once I shift a few things I have for sale the balance will be restored.

i limit myself 2 pieces of nice gear a year. i didn't buy anything this year. my focus have been completing my rig. it's not common to come across a good deal on some nice rack gear. i am going to call the store again on monday and hopefully the guy did not buy the eclipse. i have always wanted a h3000, bought prices are going up and i have never seen one for sale used.

[rnolan]

So does that mean you can buy 4 pieces this year  >:D ?

[Kim]

My G.A.S. changes whenever my "needs" change.  lol

I'm really gassing for a different amp for the Home Studio, and it's a great price.  BUT.......the stars don't always line up the way they should.  I have the money for it, but my truck must've sensed that somehow so it broke down and now needs repair.  sigh.

So does that mean you can buy 4 pieces this year  >:D ?

i wish. last year i bought a pcm 81 and a fulltone terc.

i am aiming for an eclipse or a H3000 this year. for sure i will pick up a 18 space rack case. i really want to replace my g major.

we are planning on selling our place and move to a bigger house with a basement finally. so in a few months time i can finally start building a studio or a jam space. i am really looking forward to a new city, new house, smaller population.

eventide eclipse on the way :headbanger:
