yea now i gotta expand my rackmount setups with the addition of the headphone and the preamp has a mount too. so next are some monitor stands and some rackmount stands...OOOh this GAS is killin me..guess thats on my christmas list as well as the Bass too. great sugjestions thanks again guys.
The last guitar I sent in to the Gibson Custom Shop for repair was a $$$$ Birdland. Gibson sent it back with a warped fingerboard and a lot of poorly seated frets. It never did play good again. It's in the closet with my SG.
It sounds like that crappy old Bridland just bothers you sitting in your closet. Since I have never played good anyway, I figure that damaged Birdland is a perfect match for me. I'd be willing to pay the shipping to help you clean your closet. Since Shredd is willing to help you with your SG, I expect you could have a clean closet and more room for new dream guitars. See how helpful the forum can be!

OK. My DT, my oreos, my rookie card, shipping and packing, AND my 8X10 of Elizabeth for your SG. I'll even throw in a bag of pucks and a future draft pick.
Seriously though - I haven't lusted for an ax like that since I owned a 355 back in the 80's. Please help - GAS is a terrible thing to suffer with!!! And since I can't seperate ACWild from his PRS, I thought perhaps I can help you with your closet clutter problem...
I'd like to help, but I also have a Goya gut, an Epiphone Zenith, and an old Les Paul or two in there. They would get lonesome, to say nothing of the Polyphonic MemoryMoog to whom they all like to tell their bandstand war stories.
I keep all the new stuff in another room, so as not to make the old stuff feel left out. They don't know about \"them\", and I'm not about to rag.
I used to think that I was obsessive compulsive. Then I realized that I just liked to have two or three of everything. I also like to meet peeps that feel the same way. Whenever we get together we all feel normal. {Whatever the crap \"normal\" is.}
I do have a couple of things on my Bland page { Band } that were picked on the SG. Probably couldn't tell it though since I hot wire everything.

Man, it sounds like Slacker G has been really suffering through life with GAS. These latest statements smack of bragging or total denial of his condition. We should, as concerned musicians, do an \"intervention\" on Slacker G. If we knew where Slacker G lives and when he works, we could take his gear...I mean liberate Slacker G from his objects that perpetuate this disease. It would be in his own best interest, I would think. It would be in our best interest too, because I don't even know what a Polyphonic MemoryMoog is but now I want one! Obviously, Slackr G is not content to suffer alone, now he is looking to cavort with other GASaholics in some Bacchanalian GAS orgy. Unfortunately, there are too many enablers in this forum and I fear noboby would join me in my \"tough love\" approach to his recovery. Wake up people, Slacker G is crying out for help!
True, true, true,. I used to need help. I am OK Now. Lots of peeps just like me out here to make my condition normal as opposed to the outside world peeps who just don't understand about GAS.
I played with the Memorymoog for a while. Just enough to get some really neat sounds out of it, but guitars are my bag. I'm not bragging. I do have a lot of stuff from years of purchases, repairs and swapping. The problem is that everyone wants to rob you blind when you say you would sell something they would like to have. At least that's the way it is in my neck of the woods. Probably in yours too.
I'm one of those guys that would rather run my gear through a toothpick making machine than let some cheapskate rob me blind. On the other hand, I gave away a nice Fender Strat, a nice Gibson Flat top and some other guitars to peeps that I knew just couldn't afford anything nice. Other people have given great guitars to me in the past. Kinda like pass it on.. :P
Reguardles, my daughter will probably sell everything for little or nothing when I croak. :shock:
I usualy have to sell one to upgrade to the next...but i told myself no matter what I aint ever selling my SG standard. The rest is up for grabs if I can trade up without getting too ripped of.

I was just having a little fun with you Slacker G. Over the years I have outgrown my \"official\" music room and now have filled up our guest bedroom with music gear. I don't think I have ever sold, or traded, any of my gear. I keep trying to encourage my younger nephews and nieces to explore something in music, but so far they have not shown much interest. Like you, I would rather \"pass on\" my gear than sell it. On the other hand, my wife is just waiting for me to go senile. She told she will sell my guitars off one at a time and I'll be too confused to know! Ouch! Then she will go out and buy new jewelry for herself.
Wives don't comprehend G/A/S. It's a law of nature. Unless the gear in question stimulates their \"shiny things\" olfactory or the \"new shoes\" gland.
When ever I start to suffer from G.A.S., the wife gives me a double dose of, \"Gear Be Gone\" :shock: Prime Ingredient :?: , anything I have not turned on in the previous 3mths.( sub-clause; excluding her ) must go! So sad about the SUB-clause :P
It's nothing less than a full conspiracy against those of us with acute conditions of GAS. Notice that all the sexy new gear is on display with a young sexy female model? The reality is that GAS does not get you the girl, unfortunately. And if you already have a girl, she more than likely will not be as impressed with your purchase as the girl in the ad seems to be. But I know I'm preaching to the choir. Many here have wives that misunderstand our condition. There are so blinded by their own anti-GAS condition which I will offer to name as SAG, which could stand for \"Shoes And Glitter.\" But guys, don't tell your wife that she is SAGging unless you can afford rent at a place of your own!
\" Wives don't comprehend G/A/S. It's a law of nature. Unless the gear in question stimulates their \"shiny things\" olfactory or the \"new shoes\" gland.\"
Very friggin funny!!! Yeah. The anti GAS coalition. They sound like someone sucking a fart through a straw every time they give you an opinion on how to spend your money. All members of the \"Beano\" crowd for sure.
Perhaps this would work. The next time you have GAS, and return with home with some goodies, tell her just to think of them as \"Men Shoes\"
Yeah. The phantom girl that comes with every piece of gear. I hear ya, bro... What a deceptive bunch of bastards ad peeps are.
\"man shoes\". That's GREAT. Do you think that would help explain other \"man toys\", like big screen tv's and a cell phone that gets HBO???
Hell, I'd buy a new guitar every week if it came with \"the girl\" it's posed with... Yes, I'm the guy who sits around with the Victoria's Secret catalog thinking to myself \"she's hott...I'll order two of her...\"
Hubby walks in with a new guitar and a bag of strings. Wifey spins head around like in the Exhorsist movie. She instantly goes to the blank stare jaw hanging partially open just got hit between the eyes with a mallot look.
The look is directed at you, standing there with your bag of goodies.
You quickly expressionlessly glance back at her for a moment, just long enough for her to see that you recognized her expression, then rapicly glancing away you simply begin going about your own business and start walking away, as if this was an approved shopping expedition.
As you proceed through the doorway, give her curiosity a small bit of satisfaction, and exclaim \"They're just Men Shoes, Sweetheart\".
Most likley she will simply mutter to herself, \"That's funny, they didn't look like mens shoes\", and then continue on with whatever she was doing.
Very simple plan indeed that can be executed by most all males with GAS.
I'm gonna haveta remember this technique, in case I ever have a wife. Of course, in MY reality, Elizabeth Hurley will adore me so much that she'd NEVER complain. :roll:
That's a good one SlackerG reminded me of the phone call home I made the other night and was asked by my wife how many guitars I owned. Apparently she looked in the utility closet :roll: I jokingly replied that they must be breeding. It went over well and covered about 5 purchases all at once.
Strange. In both my posts I meant to type Man Shoes and instead typed Mens shoes.... even though I was thinking mans. I think I need a new drug dealer. The crap the VA Hospital is pawning off on me just isn't stellar enought. ':roll:'

Electronic Musician has a nice review on this noting to still use an amp load or hook up speakers. I could use my Power Soak as a load and may try one. http://www.emusician.com/mag/emusic_big_guitars_small/#
