GAS related...does anyone else share this feeling?

[Robert Burns]

You spot something...research it...decide to go for it...and then buy
it, wait the 3 to 7 days for delivery...and your almost tired of it before
you play it!
This is my question.. I have found that if you have to wait for
something... back ordered.. maybe having it custom built.. or just
tight on $'s... the anticipation is better than the quick GAS relief?
Am i saying this right? That the axes that take at least a month
to acquire... are actually sweeter, in the long run, than a quick Ebay
"your the winning bidder"...conquest?
Maybe that 18 to 26 month wait for a Charvel/Jackson Custom shop
IS a good thing? Keeps your mind occupied and "into the quest" for
much longer! This "Catch and Release" program that some of us do
might just be because EBAY and the internet, and fast shipping make
purchases happen too quickly? Your thoughts?

I've already waited 23 years for my Kelly. I could do without the six month wait now that it is actually ordered.

I get this, but not with guitars.

I am a bit OCD and I go through phases where I am all into something and then, I couldn't care less just. I go through that with music mostly. I mean, I'll be all about a band for like 3 months and then pick up another band and be all into them. I have a rotation of about 8 bands that I do this over a period of about 2 years.

This year I was all about "Kittie" (don't laugh, they are killer!) and saw them all over Ontario and NY State. I met them and got tons of pictures each time and loads of autographs. The last time I saw them was Halloween and drink with us after the show. Kinda neat when that thing happens.

Anyways, I am in my Megadeth phase now and have been listening to them for a month solid now. This will go on for another month at least, then probably White Zombie again as I'm feeling the music creep on through.

So, not with guitars, but with music. It's always the same bands, sometimes just a different line in the rotation.

I have been waiting 2 weeks for my 2 Jackson's to arrive and am getting giddy. I love eBay and love the God like power I feel when I win a bit. My pants get tight when I know that I have a package just for me on the way and the Super Turbo Lucky Happiest thing I could get is a Tracking number for that package. I track packages like a man possessed. When I see that it is "out for delivery" I snap!

The only problem is these last 2 sellers forgot to give me tracking numbers so everyday is hell. I also Hijacked a Canada Post truck yesterday feeling my guitars were on board and he just didn't want to give them to me.

Anyways, sorry for the rant.... What I mean to say is yes... I know what you mean!

hah, "gas released"

[Gartron]

I've kinda know what you mean , I've got GAS in reverse because I'm tighter than two coats of paint.
I'll see a guitar on the bay, bore my wife to tears talking about how I'm going to buy it, talk myself into it, out of it, into it , finally wont bid, kick myself for not putting in a bid when it ends at a reasonable price, then go onto the bay, bore my wie to tears talking about it.....and so on!

I keep telling myself that I'm waiting for "the one" to come around , I'll but it and finally be happy!

[eiopago]

once i order a guitar/amp/effects etc i start counting the seconds that separate me from them.
and when i get the stuff, that`s when the real fun begins...

+1 The only thing I'm burned out on, is the problems with the shipping carriers. Shipping delay's, cue times, damaged items and Customs problems. It doesn't really matter on who you use, UPS, Fedex, DHL, etc. It makes you want to take a vacation
