GAS Fund but no GAS

monquixote

Just got my hands on £600 from selling my old bass amp, but I can't think of anything I want with the possible exception of a Redbox 5.

How puzzling.

You are clearly feeling out of sorts

hubobulous

It's like being sick when you're a kid. You know it's coming, your Mum rubs your back in encouragement and sympathy, and then Whammo...!! And you always felt better once the inevitable occurred :-)

Anything super bargainous at Thomann it's worth picking up as I'll be paying the 10 Euro postage cost?

bluechargeboy

I would feel the need to spend it before it gets frittered away! I've got £300 in the fund, panic!

It's your chance to get a deposit on one of our beauties...especially as I'm about to have a big clear out sale of a lot of stock

Much as I'd love that I fear it would end in divorce.

jensen c10q is like 28 euros. admittedly that's fairly dependent on needing a 10" vintage-fender-voiced speaker )

EHX soul food is really cheap but out of stock for a few weeks

the digitech hardwire pedals are a pretty good price (at least the ones i was looking at).

that's all i can think of offhand

EDIT: schaller floyd rose and lockmeister are pretty cheap compared to UK prices, but again very dependent on actually needing a retrofit floyd rose-type tremolo... )

Don't worry, the GAS will be back as soon as you're broke...

Now look what you've goe and done @monquixote!

Nunogilberto

Go and get yourself a Gordon Smith - that amount would cover a few of their models...

@monquixote I fail to see the problem?

Maybe something for your band? Live sound/PA type gear, boring but useful stuff like equipment cases, possibly a custom pair of spandex trousers for stage wear?

You'll probably be wanting a G&L Bluesboy :-)

Kepp the £600 safe. Add a bit as/when you can/want. Then when you see something you want you'll have the cash ready.

Or just buy a shed load of dirt pedals like me.

buy a klon KTR

Holiday?

Drugs?

Hookers?

Or combine the 3 and go to Amsterdam?

Don't worry, as soon as you spend it on something sensible and once again have no disposable income, you will no doubt stumble upon the guitar/amp/pedal/NOS pickup screw of your dreams. 

I always find my level of GAS is always inversely proportionate to the amount of spare money I have floating around. ( )

I can see 2 from 3 ending in divorce......

Could make it 3 if he leaves the wife at home when he goes on Holiday to Amsterdam.

I think the main cause of my GASlessness is that I don't really have the room for any more guitars or amps and I've already got all the pedals I need. That means I might end up (gasp) putting it in my savings!

There are a couple of practical things that I'd quite like. 

Redbox 5 would be very useful for live and recording. 

A decent isolated PSU would also be useful (if quite boring).

I've also got a hankering for a Wampler Velvet, Suhr Rufus, WH Dirty Donny, or an MXR Super Badass.
