lockdown-induced GAS
- Thread starter tommy p
- Start date
In light of the pandemic and some of the idiocy I've read about happening too close to home, my GAS switched to another G word.
Latest acquisitions are a couple thousand rounds of 9mm & 12ga 00 ammo and the brand new Springfield Hellcat OSP, plus the appropriate Alien Gear holster and extra magazines for all my carries.

The best ones that I have played have all had neck resets. I don't mind one that has been played in and ready to rock.
Damn...@SteveC and I were at the Robin factory in 2004 and bought matching Slabtop Supremes; his a Ranger and mine a (then called) Wrangler.
Each of us wanted to buy both and is still waiting for the other to blink. I won't. It's a perfect guitar.
I've been absolutely out of control since Thanksgiving. My wife had some medical issues that consumed the last 5 months, she's all better now so during that time we couldn't vacation or do much so I started curing my stir-crazy with GAS. Now I'm out of room and I just realized that some of the stuff I bought is just NOT going to get used. So, it has pretty much cured my Covid-19 induced GAS. As someone mentioned though, it's nowhere near as fun or easy to get rid of stuff, so I haven't started yet...but it's coming.
I do still (and always do) have my eyes out for a TLE. Especially since the one I just bought showed up almost in two pieces and had to be turned over to USPS for the damage claim. So if anyone needs to thin their herd.........

Hillbilly break-ins, nothing too serious but I like to be prepared, and this TP and disinfectant t'ain't goin' nowhere...
I made a joke the other week about the increase of gun sales being for the purpose of protecting the toilet paper supplies stocked up by the hoarders. Now I have a face to the name...Hillbilly break-ins, nothing too serious but I like to be prepared, and this TP and disinfectant t'ain't goin' nowhere...

I've been getting it too, but then I remembered that all my anticipated gig income for March and April went byebye (and who knows after that). So I've scratched the itch by putting some better operating (but original era) tuners on my "other end of the SG spectrum" SG Junior. A Junior and a Princeton Reverb were my original rig back in 1965. So, Bubs, you're halfway there, Oh Oh livin' on a **slap**
Well, a couple things have popped up that I'd have likely jumped on quickly a few years ago. TBH, I cannot really ramp up any real enthusiasm for any of it. Things may change. They always do. But it is a good excuse to stick to my goal to "sell another 6 or 8".
I got GAS but not that bad. I've been busy selling an American Deluxe Tele and a Rivera amp. I have my eye, and dibs, on a Newport Pro. Deconstructed, refinished and rebuilt a free Brownsville HSS. It didn't come out too bad and I'd like to do another project. But yeah, a Newport Pro!
Everything seems cheap in comparison to what we've spent on concrete and lumber this far, I meant I'm not buying jack shit for awhile after this project.
I am happy with the stuff I already have though.Phase One: Denial LOLEverything seems cheap in comparison to what we've spent on concrete and lumber this far, I meant I'm not buying jack shit for awhile after this project.
House is coming along nicely.
I thought I was the only person who tended to buy more shit when he wasn't playing. Good to know I'm not alone, haha!
