Guitar Gear

It is totally weird not having a case of GAS right now. Since 2007, when I first started this blog, I’ve been GAS-ing. Not a week would go by without me getting some kind of gear. But since I purchased my KASHA Overdrive a couple of weeks ago, and finally started using it, I haven’t had any serious case of GAS.

Mind you, that doesn’t mean that there’s not gear that I don’t want to get. For instance, I’m still going to get a TC Electronic Nova Repeater, and I’m working on the design of a new amp that I would like to have built for me. But I don’t have that uncontrollable urge to reach into my pocket and pull out my bank card to get some gear. I’m much more calm, and for the first time in a long time, I’m not in a rush to get that other gear.

But I think that’s the disturbing thing. I’ve had this GASeous urge for so long that I’m in kind of unfamiliar territory. F&$k!!! It’s like having nicotine withdrawal symptoms! I’m not used to this. But I can tell you, my bank account is thanking me right now…
