Reflecting on the year and GAS

[LiveeviL2000]

Every year around this time I reflect back at the sickness that grips us all. GAS!!
This year was a pretty good one for me. Only 3 pedals, 1 speaker cab and 2 guitars. Compared to previous years, I came out of it pretty good.
Not counting the guitars a refurbished, I bought the following for my gear collection.

Digitech drop pedal.
Vortex flanger
Corona chorus

Jackson pro series King V KVT 3 tone burst
Gibson signature Adam Jones LP standard silver burst

Randall 212 which I loaded with a pair of G12T 75s


How much GAS did you guys satisfy this year? And is there more to come?

 

[ibmorjamn]

Always more gas.
Not sure what I need but I'll think about it. UA 476 interface. Some autotune device.

Got a Bugera T 5 4 weeks ago today. Hadn't played regularly since 2021. Usually record a lot. 3 times the band got semi together. Re learn the whole set then everybody bails. Disgusted its not like years ago. Poster on a wall in music shop. tear off phone number..find a booth lol to drop a dime. Usually playing live in 3 months somewhere as a band. No discussion-therapy-analytics-daws-0101010-just a few people who wanna make music & are dedicated. Anyways..feel better now

Since Bug t-5

Epihone Casino
Epiphone Crestwood
Epiphone Firebird

Joyo American Pedal

Fender Reverb Pro
Marshall Origin 20

Spent whole month changing my music to a much earlier time. Have the amps gain down & speakers set up to not so much be about the heavies. Figured if i had a shot at playing it would be in less aggressive type environment. Recording binge to follow soon.

Way more to come as i trade off & switch things around.

No GAS for me in 2023. Last piece of gear I’ve purchased was a delay pedal last fall to replace my Carbon Copy that decided to quit working. In 2023 we built a patio. Refinished the hardwood floors. My wife found some cheap airline tickets thru SW…. So we took a couple trips. One to FL to hang out with her siblings for a week and one to Maui. And since we couldn’t be in the house while the floors were getting done, spent a week near Pigeon Forge TN and Gatlinburg.

My trusty Roland Cube died so i bought me a new Boss Katana 50 watt combo. Plus i bought a new Jarod James Nichols Epiphone Les Paul Custom.

I'm proud this year only 3 efx and one guitar and a gig bag some guitar care products
a fancy guitar strap that Brad made that's all.

I’ve slowed up too. Only bought 1 guitar, 2 amps and 3 pedals. Built 2 Warmoths. There might be a Christmas axe too…

I took delivery of my Matamp. But that was actually 2022 purchase. Up until this week, I’ve only bought strings and picks. Realized I had a bunch of “cash back” on a credit card, so I bought a used Gypsy Fuzz with box and original documents.

Excellent, well at least it's a slow year for you Don.lol

 

[ibmorjamn]

The most recent is the Dean Strat and it is currently out if commission for neck adjust ment.
Previous to that the Warmoth "Rabbit Hole" it is slowly progressing with no help from the weather.
Previously a delay pedal , Boss dd3. The list is actually deeper.

Not that much. when I get gas like that, i take these....

 

[gball]

This past year was my quietest in probably about a decade: one new guitar and a whole lot of strings. I have just been very happy with the gear that I have overall and that keeps the GAS away. Although...I have been jonesin' for a LP Custom or possibly a Supreme.

Just do IT!

 

[Session 5]

I haven't bought much this year, Just my Angel Wing chorus pedal. I really don't need anything, I have everything I need, and more.

Not buying into that Norm….. oh wait….. think I said the same thing….. never mind.

You're a bad influence Norm. I think at this point if any new ones come in another has to go out. Not enough hours in the day to play them all.

NEED is not part of the conversation when GAS is involved.

You better delete that comment before one of our wives see it.

My wife once asked me why I needed another guitar. I said, 'The same reason why you need more shoes, except I use my guitars more than once."
