What's on your GAS list for 2012 ?

Ray wrote I want a 6 string banjo. I went to the workshop at Mucic Connection a few weeks back to talk about something else and there was one lying on the bench getting sorted out. But upstairs the okes just said they dont think I'll get one in South Africa. So I'm thinking I'll get a Gold Tone shipped in. I also want a steel body guitar and cant find one here either.

I've seen some Nationals around and I'm fairly sure they can be gotten here - though not off the shelf at Pick 'n Pay so to speak. Have a chat with Richard at Music Connection.

A PRS Custom 24 with birds,,, preferably whale blue ?

just like this baby http://www.dv247.com/assets/products/62176_l.jpg

and thinking about a multi-effects pedal.... :-\

One of the Fender resonators available locally is a metal body - didn't really impress me as a guitar though - way to quiet for a resonator.

I was also looking at the six string banjos lately - the electrified one that the guy in Mumford & Sons plays. Quite reasonably priced (can't remember the brand off the top of my head though).

Also...a tobacco sunburst Stagg started flirting with me yesterday at a pawn shop...not too bad I think at R1499..

Paul Cochrane Tim (already on its way ? ) to see if it measures up to the years of continual hype.
Practice amp (VOX Pathfinder 15R bought yesterday actually). I'm tired of always having to use Guitar Rig with headphones for the sake of the neighbours.
A good Tele (well an ASAT in my case). My mate's AVRI 52 Hot Rod Tele gave me bad GAS after using it on some tracks in the studio, adding to a pre-existing condition from being faced with ASATs lying around at work every day.
A Silverface Deluxe Reverb or Princeton. Gonna be trawling Ronnie's shop regularly. This GAS also induced by the aforementioned friend.
An instrument mic of some kind to replace the SM57 I sold thinking I wouldn't need it. :?
A hard case for my '83 Roadstar.

That's pretty much everything within reach. Everything else I want is way more than I could afford.

a new amp, which is looking more and more like it's going to be the albion tct35c.
for guitars i'm sorted, and i've got enough on my plate just get to grips with these without seeking out different instruments to add to the miz.
i want to turn my outside room (could actually be an income-earning cottage) into a guitar room for me (income-sucking)
that's about it...

Nitebob

Knowing your neighbours MrT, they'll still be complaining even with the smaller amp. Sicko's might even try to run you down again...

Please excuse my ignorance, but what does GAS mean?

Nitebob

Dom...a good way to get pasty the wife is to tell her you're going to turn it into a studio....(also income generating) ?

Gear Acquisition Syndrome ?

No serious GAS for me ,,thus far anyway. I would like to experiment with a pedal or 2 but for the most part i am sorted...

guitar wise , my cup runneth over and my 2 mainstays are there to stay , i want for nothing more.

Amp wise i am sorted too but would like to finally get my mustang mini sometime this year ,century , millenium.

so all in all i aint lusting for anything right now , but who knows what tomorrow brings ?

Quite possible - both the complaining and the running down. I'd rather have the former than the latter though. ? Hopefully I don't have any more trouble with the crazies. ??? Haven't hear a peep out of them since they were threatened with legal action. ?

yeah, i've been trying to sell that line for some time now. she's nearly biting, but i'm gonna need a different fly methinks. the white death hasn't been working, time to switch to the walker's killer... mwaaaaahahahahahaha...

Blues-Brother

I think a Tele would complete my guitar collection

Maybe add some pedals as well: Whammy, Compression, Overdrive, and a Looper?

18W clone

Mannoroth

Tokai guitar - Probably an LP. About 90% there, just need a little bit more persuasion ? I've heard so many good things about them - there are about 3 models to choose from - for a lefty that's insane variety!

Norman86

on my GAS list...
a nice reverb pedal... gotta go test them out...
and probably a zoom G3 for other effects in the effects loop! trem / chorus / delay!

now you see, that's the problem with this kind of thread. it reminds you of the stuff you left off your list. i need to get a good mfx and a good reverb pedal too. in fact, i think it's all your fault norm. you got me gassing after the albion in the first place, and now you've reminded me of the other things i need. sheesh man. it's all your fault.

thanks! ?

Norman86

im SOOOOOO sorry Dom ?

I have this damn ITCH ! to get another R9 Les Paul...a lightly flamed tea burst.....maybe an aged one, I dunno. Either from Route 66 guitars or....or when I'm in London in July this year. But first I will have to do some serious saving ...... ?

Hi Vic,

I have a similar itch, except I'm looking for a nice '58. Route 66 were an absolute pleasure to deal with when I bought mine. I was beyond impressed, but I think my next one will come from Mark's Guitar Loft. If you haven't seen the guitars on Mark's site, your itch is going to get a whole lot worse when you click this link:

Take a gander through his current inventory as well as guitars he's recently sold. Click the images for HiRes photos.

PS: I very nearly bought this '58 Stinger from him a few months ago, but missed it due to the time difference. He told me the guitar sold within 15mins of him putting it up on his site:

Thanks Shaun ! WOW....great guitars here.

EDIT: That '58 is amazing.
