Where would we be it wasn't for people like Wingsdad, Spudman, with their new guitars, Zman with those lovely white Squiers to name just a few. Then you have the people like Mudcat, DVM, and others talking about gear - amps, pedals. Then there is SVL and Warren talking about their lessons. And of course let us not forget Robert and Mark providing lessons that have helped a lot of us and because of that we are so attracted to the guitars and gear. Then we have the European connection talking about what goes on over there and what guitars and gear they are into.
What's my point? GAS creates all kinds of byproducts and entertainment. Without those posts and the excitement they generate the typical thread might go something like this:
Spudman: Man, can anyone tell me what are the best strings to use? I mean, if it's good enough for you, it's good enough for me.
Robert: I use Ernie Ball, I wouldn't consider another brand.
Spudman: Cool dude, I'll catch you next year when I'm thinking of stringing another guitar.
Just Strum: Stop it, stop it, stop it!!! I can't take another string thread.
the conversation you just read is true, the names have been changed to protect the innocent. Any resemblance of this conversation to ones you have encountered are highly likely if you are or were a member of another forum that will remain nameless.
To all of the people named at the beginning of this post and to all of the others - keep the GAS creators coming!!!
