I am a player and I play most of my basses. I do record and I do play gigs but that aside I suffer dearly from this G.A.S. written out in a most illicit manner. How about you?

Funny, and unfortunately true! I'm going to share this with a guitar body of mine, who qualifies on almost all levels of this description!

Addition to the word "bass", you should also change the "by Walter Becker" to "By Thumbslam"....

This is very well written and compelling!

Here is another good way to cure GAS: live in a tiny NYC apartment where there is literally only room to keep one or two instruments around. The other option is to spend $$ on storage space and put them there, but it means they will be inconvenient to access to say the least. Problem solved.

I've considered the storage space option from time-to-time because my little studio apartment is rapidly losing floor space, and it looks like a horder lives here! But I don't live close enough to one that has 24-hour access, and I don't want to worry about how well the climate control system works... would hate to grab a guitar or cab from storage and find the neck warped from the heat and humidity here in Hawaii, or find my speakers brittle and mildewed.... just had a little shudder pass over my shoulders thinking about that scenario!

Say NO to storage space! (Or, at the very least, make sure they're heated, though few are humidity controlled). I used to keep my stuff in one. A pipe broke and flooded mine during the winter and then froze over. Luckily no guitars/basses were kept there, but I had to chip ice off my Roland U20 keyboard and dozens of books, records, etc. were destroyed.

Da-yum! Glad it was no worse than that! Just can't give up control and responsibility of my equipment to strangers..... that's why I keep my money and my mattress too!
