Chriselle 158 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 No....sillies...not THAT gas. In the musician community it's Guitar Acquisition Syndrome. I call it ...Gotta Acquire Shit. Most of my GAS is indeed for guitars, amps, and other musical gear and I have a room FULL of the stuff. ie.......14 guitars + numerous bodies, necks and parts... 10 or so high end amps, well over 30 effect pedals... Damn I need to sell some of this stuff. So, what's your outlet for spending vast sums of dinero? Just curious... Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 You get used to them. I still am. I'm half way using both PC and Mac now but soon will be gradually going over to the fruity side. It's a real pleasure. Kick myself for not trying sooner Link to post Share on other sites
