Anyone else getting sick of GAS?

I like gear! Did I really need every item I've bought over the years? No. By far! Did some of the acquisitions make me play more guitar than I would otherwise do? Definitely! Am I inspired by the gear I'm currently using? Yes! Do I have many regrets (gear wise)? Not really. I've sold a lot of gear that didn't fit the bill. I've taken my losses, but nothing extreme. I'm more worried about a few pieces of gear I should never have sold. And my collection is modest in comparison to others

I guess I'm fine.

Do I still have money in my bank account? No! Do I care? No!

I think living in the age of instant gratification has had a very negative impact on people. I learned to play the guitar by sitting down with a record player, and shortly after that a CD player, and plugging away until I learned the song. And when I did, there was a feeling of accomplishment that excited me about learning the next one. Now, all you have to do is go online and there are hundreds of tutorials out there that show you exactly what to do. While there is still some sense of accomplishment, I honestly believe that the harder something is to achieve, the greater the sense of reward once you finally do achieve it.

Our first studio was a stereo with a mic in. We had a split mic … cd press play play and at the same time press “record” on the tape. 5 minutes of one take was what we had. If anybody fucked up in the 3rd verse.. we had to start over.

We did this for years until cool edit came out.
 
I was gonna say i bet you for sure will buy the bluamp x… seems you are pretty jazzed on it even at 2k+
The price doesn't concern me much. I know it will sound great. I'm not sold on how it operates and what fx it will have at release is not known. That's why I need to see more.
 
It’s kinda like my wife buying furniture.
She said it didn’t look that big in the store :bonk

Whaha that might be true. I was in a isolated sound room and with volume 2 it felt like I had my studio monitors almost full open (okay that’s a bit exaggerating, but still)
