Suffering from an affliction that all of us have from time to time...

GAS!

Damn the Internet.
Damn digital photography.
Damn the power of suggestion.
Damn the appeal of these instruments.
Damn all you fanatics for stirring the pot.
Double-damn eBay!

My one and only salvation is the discipline that got me debt-free in the first place. I won't spend money I don't have any more.

After all, I already have the bass I need. I don't need another one. Or one of those tasty EBMM geetars.

Yeah. Just keep telling yourself that, Mr. Douglas. One day at a time, pal.

You have a nice bass.

But just think about how nice a HH SR5 would look next to it.

That's right. Just think about it.

You are an evil marching-band-member bastage. Even if you do share my first name.

There's one of those rare copper-pickguard SR5s hanging on the wall at a GC near me, and don't you think for a moment that I haven't thought about snapping it up.

Come on, people, BRING IT!

I can handle it! GRRRRRRRR!

Hey. You know how rare copperhead bronze is?

You know that chicks dig that copperhead bronze?

SR5s, in general, have large sex appeal.

Think i'm lying? Try me.



:D

You can talk about discipline, about not spending money you don't have. Encourage yourself with post it notes, hell, put it on a billboard if it makes you feel better.

You want that SR5

YOU NEED THAT SR5


Go ahead, what are you gonna do with that money....



You'll get some more money.


Get the bass..... without guilt(it's not good for you)

I'm a Grand Master 12th Degree Black Belt of Rationalization with Oak Leaf Cluster. I know this phrase all too well, having used it myself many, many times. I recognize the subversive EEEVILness of it.

I am a rock. I am strong.

That bass isn't even on my radar, cool as it might be.

(All I can say is that it's a damned good thing I don't like MOG...it's tough enough as it is.)

But you are not an island. And every peninsula needs an SR5 or Bongo or Sterling or SR. Especially if it is a cool color. Like a DD or copperhead bronze or envy green.

seriously, debt free is a good thing so take all of the above with a huge salt lick that could attract all the deer you could ever eat in a life time.

Stank, we planted the seed. It will blossom in its own time. Our work is done here.

Spoken like a guy who truly understands how this stuff works.

All it takes is the initial thought. Then you're DOOMED, eventually. It's only a matter of time.

Want evidence of my intestinal fortitude? I just celebrated my 20th wedding anniversary.
