seren Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Is it GAS if it's something you need? I'm sort of broke and I just bought a bass after not having one for a while. Now I need an amp and stand and strap and case and strings and maintenence kit, etc. I don't have any of this stuff, and I need the stuff in order to play. So is that GAS? Now look what you made me do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddiePlaysBass Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Seren, GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) means you want something. Needing something and wanting something are two different things For more info on GAS you could try the search funtion, but I think you'd get flooded with threads where the acronym has been used, without giving a proper explanation "I'm a work in progress."

If those are tools and yo make a living with them... is not GAS! If you need them to enjoy your music and be happy, is not GAS, IF you have money to aquire them is not GAS [You know I'm not telling the truth somewhere?
