GAS - Gear Acquisition Syndrome (Part 1)

@joergkutter,
I’ve had the Edifiers for over a week now and it is a definite improvement over the other speakers I was using. More clarity than what I had. If you’re using the speakers built it to the computer and want a change, I would recommend these.

Thanks, @JerryP!

Yes, I am using the speakers in a 13’ Macbook, which are not great, or headphones, but a set of monitor speakers would be neat!

I guess I’ll put them on my GAS list :smile:

I wish GC, Sam Ash and Fender would stop sending me emails about Father’s Day Sales!! I feel my resistance breaking down rapidly.

You need to harden up @JerryP.
Don’t succumb to the pressure.

“Do you want to find a partner”
“Yes”
“Cool - buy a guitar”

But I wanted to find a human person as partner, not a bass guitar! :smiley:

It does not help me when prices are cut in half. I do not need an amp, but…
I have played thru this very amp and it is really nice. At $400 easy to resist.

At $200, a little harder to resist. But I am sure I can hold out long enuf that someone else buys it.
I can do it, I don’t need an amp. I have amps, don’t get it.
Ok, there done, posting here worked.

Now, what about this thing? Anybody know anything about these?
Seems awfully cheap, even for a replica by the maker?
I can withstand this all day, I don’t really even like the things.
Just curious if anybody knows anything about them? Limited? To how many? Fakes? Etc…

It helps it’s an hour drive. The amp is close. That’s bad!!! Lol
Nope, not gonna do it,

Be strong my friend!

He said and then tempted him:
What would you need the amp for / could you sell an old one to make up for the purchase?

I could, but I am not gonna go there, I have too many amps already.

I have my

Orange - Orange Crush 20b 20w practice amp.
SWR WorkingMan 15 - 160w combo
SWR WorkingMan 410 - turns combo to 200w
GK 250w head to use with the CAB for 250w option.

Amps are not like Basses, I don’t break them all out and play each amp. When I get new Basses, I play them often, and if old ones start not getting played, I put them up for sale.

The exception being the 5 strings, I know somebody made the argument to play them and learn them instead of wait, but in myspecific place, and specifically what I am working on mastering is one that I want to do it on a 4 string first, and I am waiting to do 5 string after , so those are tho only 2 Basses I don’t play daily, and I don’t look for 5 strings if looking.

But amps, not the same for me. Appreciate them and all, love to play thru bad ass amps, but I can’t even turn them up past my 20w practice amp most of the time anyway.

This deal I will resist,

Excellent flow chart.
You can’t argue with that kind of logic… I guess I’m doomed.

Up!!! @DeadLossAngeles.

Hey, you are not too far away from Westminster, go buy the thing so it’s off my mind.

Damn the world.

I just sold this

I got this in a trade for a Epiphone “Jr. Custom”. Les Paul style guitar that I paid very little for.
And I sold this for a very good deal. Reverb lists it between $220 and $335, and this was MINT.

THE POINT IS, I profited $200 on it. And I only sold it for a very smoking fair price.

But now I have $200 in my pocket.
Damn it.

Still do not need another Amp.
I DOOOOO NOOOT NEED AN AMP.

I really don’t want it.
I really won’t get it.
It’s more for fun. I don’t want or need another amp.
If I did wish to upgrade my larger combo amp, this would be a nice one.
But I am perfectly happy with my
Orange
SWR
And
GK

I had a fleeting thought about getting it and selling the SWR, but Then I lose the 4x10 cab that works with the SWR combo OR the GK head.
The pay off is not that good, and may be a small set back in reality.

This time without any temptation thrown in.
You don’t need it. Be strong.

I can pass on the amp.
Problem is today, GC opened back up to the public.
I have something to return, plus cash in hand.
Uhhhhhh, will see what happens.

I think it will actually help to curb my GAS just getting to go in and play with things.

Probably just leave with a cpl sets of strings that I have been meaning to get.
