    GAS blows

    I’ve got it bad for a lefty Olympic white Precision with a rosewood fb. I can afford it, but I’m trying to be rational about it. I mean, it’s not sooooo different from my Jazz, but it sooo is—if that makes a damned lick of sense.

    Thing is, I don’t know whether this is a real desire or whether it’s just the effects of the OCD which is part of my BPD. I mean, I know I can do without it, but I don’t wanna.


    It’s such bad GAS that it’s like longing after a woman you can’t stop thinking about.

    If I buy it, I’m going to be happy I have it—and yet I’ll feel weak for not having resisted. If I don’t, I’ll be happy I resisted the urge to splurge, but will the GAS keep driving me nuts?

    Dear Abbey, what do you do when you and Ann Landers get such GAS?

    Dear bass player,

    You are perfectly normal in this regard. Everything else, er, not so much but heh, whatcha gonna do?

    I'd rather have it and live with the shame of caving.

    as an aside, I received notification that the presonus 1810 audio interface i'm GASsing about is in stock and ready for shipping. I've also been following numerous eBay auctions for strat and tele bodies. I can pretty much justify the former but not the latter. Does it stop me? Not as long as i have a pulse.

    Dear Bass Player,

    You kick Ann Landers to the curb and get yourself a nice, new shiny Olympic White PB.

    Signed,

    Abby

    This is the basic idea, but I'll send actual photos when I get it next week.

    Ooh, that's purty! It's been so long since I touched a bass, I wouldn't know what to do with it. I'd probably do what I do most of the time with my geetars: Look at 'em...

    Dang buddy, I’m suffering the same pains! I don’t know the cure so I can’t help you... LOL

    I think that bass would look killer with a Tort or Gold Anodized guard!

    I love the anodized on that white. I may have to make that purchase too.
