Re: GAS tank empty...?
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Re: GAS tank empty...?
My GAS tank will never be empty, that's just my nature.
But...
Home sick today and I had a blast on my rig, just guitar into the Line 6. I could honestly probably just by the FBV shortboard for this and never need another pedal, or amp. It is an odd beast though - it has days like today where it just sounded bloody good through all the settings I threw at it. Other days, I get weird volume issues, and this is what's making me think about another amp - that and this odd desire I have for simplicity, which doesn't gel with my equivalent desire for flexibility. I also want to (and have been) build up a pedal board again, which feels harder to justify to myself when the amp's on-board effects are perfectly serviceable. But if I'm being honest, I probably have all the gear I really need.
Now guitars on the other hand, that's a different story. I have mad GAS for a Gibson V, and an ESP Eclipse or a nice Les Paul. I'd quite like some sort of hollow and a really nice acoustic too. For a while I really wanted a strat, but I had one for a while and realised I was kind of over it. A good SG though, keen on one of those too. And one of those Mastodon dude's Explorers. But other than that, I'm good. Fortunately the Charvel is versatile, kicks ass, and is totally me, so the GAS monster isn't killing me like it used to.
TL;DR version: no, I still have GAS.

Re: GAS tank empty...?
My tank is empty purely as I don't and can't get the funds together to fill the fucking tank up
No one is buying/selling as much it seems to be rather stagnant at the mo
Perhaps need flybuys to jump on board

True. Nothing interesting on TM even if I did have GAS.Olderama wrote:it seems to be rather stagnant at the mo

Re: GAS tank empty...?
I think that's the trigger for me - the every-other-day TM browse. Something usually ends up on my watchlist, or nabbed if it's a good deal. Sometimes I've just purchased stuff I wasn't really that interested in simply because they were a bargain.Molly wrote:True.

Re: GAS tank empty...?
I sometimes try to just sit on any spare money and wait for a fire sale bargain, but i am not patient enough. Any really good bargains usually get pounced on and then flipped for a profit by one or two usual suspects.The Scarecrow wrote:I think that's the trigger for me - the every-other-day TM browse.

Re: GAS tank empty...?
Not sure. There's meant to be a known master volume issue on these amps, and in fact I've seen one of the combos on TM or FB for sale just this week where the guy is having the same thing. I'm also not sure about the history of the tubes, and whether there could be an issue there. It doesn't happen all the time either. I had it at a real sweet spot yesterday, with the master slightly higher and the channel volume and drive slightly lower. I'm picking it's something around the pots though - the presence control is right next to the master volume, and at one point changing the presence caused some crackling/popping/volume jump/drop issues.AiRdAd wrote:Would an eq pedal help?
