How to control your GAS ?
You can’t .
Okay man , the truth is ..GAS cannot be cured ..BUT it could be reduced …
HOW TO REDUCE GAS ?
gapnap says : Be a playboy
Just like a college kid , you want Samantha, then you want Jessica , you want Sarah , you want Caryn …
After getting all of em’ ….then you will go like ..”I am sick of all this failed relationships , game playing shit ..and I am bored of all the normal girls ..i want an extraordinary women that I want to spent my life with …” and you found her..and you get married with her …
So..
Same for guitar , be a playboy …TRY EVERYTHING … a Fender , then a Gibson , PRS , Ibanez and so on ..rape it until you get bored of it …until you want to find that one very very special guitar…
When your friends try to corrupt you with GAS ..”hey check out Ibanez NEW LINE ..VINE OF LIFE CHUN WEI “
You need to be that man that says .. been there , done that kid ……I am looking for the one right now
May 2007’s collection
I started trading , buying and selling since early 2007… back then I started with 3 guitars..…within 4 months …i have this …*I have no time to gather my current collection…
Well , I already have “the one” with me …*not telling* …but the problem is …
There Is such thing called unfaithful and adultery ..
So , even though I am married to a guitar..i still have GAS ..like i said , it can never be cured…BUT my GAS is ..
Much much lesser than the average Malaysian chump ,I don’t GAS for cheap pedals , I don’t GAS for Gibsons , I don’t GAS for MIA Fenders , I don’t GAS for super rare Ibanez (just passed that stage) ..
However , I do GAS for John Suhr , LGM guitars , Wayne Guitars , Zemaitis ..
And the thing is …I wont spent RM20k on a guitar … I do want them , but as a MALAYSIAN ..it is stupid to spent this amount on a guitars..
Actually , to think about it …why do I write this ? I still suffer GAS ..argh…I feel like a hypocrite
Question Gap : you make sence , but , I have no money , how am I going to have all the Guitars in the first place ? how to start ?
gapnap says :
You think I have a lot of money ah ? dude , I don’t even have a Job resume …I don’t even have a stable Job ..i started as a student that does part time teaching guitars ..(uhh..i only make 3 digits back then..not much)
Simple , start Trading , you just need to buy 1 or 2 guitars …slowly trade it ..or sell it to get another ..soon you will realized within 1-2 years you have touched more than 20 guitars
**only applicable to used guitars ..you can buy a used guitar at RM1200 , and sell it at RM1300 , or RM1100 …but with brand new , you buy RM3000 , you only sell it at RM2000 ..so..brand new = doomed
Why I don’t buy brand new ? click here to read ..

0.0
as for analogue pedals, there r only 2? enuff?
hehe. thnx thnx. =)

yeap..only 2 for the moment ..
sometimes i might add a volume pedal ..and a EQ pedal
and some effects , depend on what songs i am suppose to play..most of the time just this 2 ..
the truth is ..no , not enough ..i actually need a delay/reverb pedal …
but i prefer reverbs from amp.. than stompbox delay/reverb..
and i havent played in a gig where the amp doesn’t have a reverb for me ..hehe
