GAS threads need pics!!!:D

I can't see this thread living for too long. Rectify it.

This has been tormenting me with gas since it was announced:

Dord

I'm GAS'n for this, don't think I'll buy it though. I've run out of space and my plan to thin the herd didnt work. I had an ad on adverts but no response


G&L L-2000 in sparkly blue






Oh yeah, I got GAS for a fretless last week but since I have no more space, I bought a fretless neck for one of my basses. Expect pictures in the next week!!!

Voodu Child

Still don't like that finish on that Petrucci for some reason KH..:( Not sure why, just prefer the old model with the snazzy chameleon finishes, or some of those cool metallic reds & oranges.

Im ashamed to say im not really GASing over any guitars lately..but I have been gassing over one of these a little:


Yeah, it doesnt quite compare to a sexy guitar or amp in the GAS stakes, but im not sure any effects units can anyway. It's shiny and aluminium, so that's at least something, plus it does all sorts of clever things. Me wants;)

Joebot - that bass reminds me of Dougal's jacket in the 'Eurovision' Father ted

the G-Force pedal

Yeah, the G-System is one cool pedal. I didn't think it was as GAS worthy as a slab of flamed maple of whatever, but it does loads of cool things. It has a bunch of loops & power supplies for your pedals, so you leave them all switched on and bring all them in & out of the chain as part of each patch, and it's got a rake of switching jacks for changing amp channels etc. Plus TC's usual brilliant chorus's and delays. Yep, GAS for me

feylya

Couldn't justify €1500 on a pedal though.

Voodu Child

It's multi-voltage, works perfectly off 110 or 220-240V, and a US import wouldn't cost anywhere close to that thankfully. For a top end processor, midi pedal & midi switcher, you'd pay more separately.

I love them all! lol! But If I had to chose one (which I will) It will be the black start!

It wasn't me!

Currently GASsing for:

Engl Fireball
Edwards Explorer
Schecter C-1 Plus
Ibanez J Custom
Bacchus Duke
Warwick Streamer Stage II Five-String
Good Bass Rig

Yeah, that sounds about right. I'm leaving a few off, that's my stripped down list.

mr_fruitbowl

Better than anything!

Morf

this if i ever win the lotto



(but only if i could play like victor to match)



spector euro 5



bacchus 5

Doctor J

At the moment I'm hankering for a P bass and my instinct is to stick with the mighty Bacchus so this is on the list



and an old school P too, so this too



TBH, anything Bacchus hand made is rocking my boat in a bad way. I want to pick up a Bacchus guitar soon, so yeah add this to the list



and this (and I don' even like Les Pauls )



Sad really

Killaqueen!!!

I started off planning to buy a Japanese Strat....





not this one, but it is sexy! Zebrawood!!!


Then I thought, why not get an American Strat over in Bostan...or even a Tele......




Then I realised I want the real deal. A Gibson Les Paul. True Blues/Rock sound...




But then from the advice of boardsies Edwards were better quality for the price...



Now I actually want a Gretsch...:p





I do like these Vintage guys though...

deaddonkey

plaintop les paul, honeyburst, 2 low output PAFs

edwards or tokai

and i'd like a natural gibson j200

Don1

One of these in Adlib in Carlow for ages. (not prestige though) Love it! Too expensive here and haven't found that finish/neck etc. anywhere online.

And the nicest strat ever award goes to:

Can't tell if the hardware is gold in that picture, don't think it is, but it is on the one I want!

And to top it all off a '59 Gibbo LP V.O.S.


That's a about it now apart from little things I want like an all valve amp of some description, a portostudio, and more stand alone effects to replace my GT-6.
Oh and the Dimarzio Super-Distortion and PAF, but I will be getting them so I don't have to GAS so much about them.

Keyzer

Pardon my ignorance but WTF is GAS?

Don1

An awful affliction called gear acquisition syndrome that causes sufferers to spend vast amounts of cash on often unnecessary music equipment!

From urbandictonary:

Guitar Acquisition Syndrome. Coined by Walter Becker of Steely Dan in a short article in an early 1990s Guitar Player magazine.

It wasn't me!

Oh yeah, forgot, I also want an Ibanez RG 1550. A 550 would do though if necessary.

The Saint

Schecter C1 FR

ESP ECLIPSE-II

Fender Jazzmaster

GIBSON SG3 SPECIALFADED WW

IBANEZ JEM7V-WH

Thats just a few. So many guitars so little money.

Yakult

anyone elses GAS meter go up upon seeing Slaaneh's Edwards??!! Happened to me! lol

Don1

Ditto!

Was just having a look on the G&L site (asking for a GAS attack I know) and this caught my attention!

I think I just found a replacement for the RG1550 in my previous post!! :eek:

Patricide

Ok, for starters this is the guitar to outgas them all



I know i keep on coming back to that guitar but come on its soo soooo perty.

I think that thing is absolutely hideous.

I'm with Fey, I think it's really tacky.

The Boarder Man

Those Edwards LPs being dangled around here are tempting, but I worked out that one of these is about €200 cheaper (not including delivery):



Tasty I say.

ive wanted one of those since they were released. have you heard it?

Awesome sounds.

No, only the demos, & clips that guys have made. Steve Vai used one in Vicar St at the Zappa gig, but i missed that one.

I know TC well enough to know the delays etc are top-notch. I doubt I could swing one either, but sure that's why it's in a GAS thread and not a 'Look at my new G-System thread'....:(

James Hunt

From Ishibashi



Fender Japan '57.....can anyone confirm that \60480 is actually around €360-€365. If that's the case, then, plus tax and shipping, it comes out at under €600.



Absolutely gorejuss, as my missus would say, and circa €700 taxed and delivered if my maths are correct. Silly, but fair.

GAS Implosion imminent!!!!
Ishi say they can get this to my door for 860 euro[incl customs vat]

Edwards ftw. The Tokai is Korean, is it not? The Edwards is MIJ.

Interesting. What are the pickups in the Tokai?

I got onto Coda before and he said he wasn't sure, but he reckoned the model is an EX85.
Think I found somewhere that the EX85 has Tokai PAF MK2 pickups, must do a bit more digging on this.....

Now, this is a GAS-inducer if there ever was one:



Muhammad from Necrophagist's custom Ibanez Xiphos.
