That goddamn J Mascis Jazz everybody's waiting for. And getting my bass back from the pawnshop (-->pets that need medical attention when I'm broke). And finally getting a Ibanez Iceman and...and...and...

Currently almost acheivable list would be:

Les Paul type guitar, currently a Spalted Maple top mahogany Build It Yourself kit.
"triggered" flanger, so the Behringer FLANGER MACHINE FL600 clone fits that nicely.
HAX!!
An effects power supply that doesn't create hum on fuzz pedals (could be the house electrics though)
to go with the HAX - Behringer FCV100 Foot Controller
a new delay, probably a MBM Echo Base.

think thats it.

I have something similar if I'm playing in rooms that have a dimmer for the lights. It plays havoc with my irig as well.

my current GAS is a 72 thinline tele

Now that I have my Dano 59, I'm really content with my gear, and I'm not really feeling any gas for anything I could realistically own at the moment. I've got a pedalboard that'll do me for gigs for yonks, a decent enough amp for band and another for at home, 6 and 12 string acoustics, Squier Protone Strat, Dad's old Hofner bass, Vista Jagmaster and now the Dano. Really no need for anything more.

I really don't need or want any more guitars, but might actually be able to make good use of this thing for all-around studio use, probably the ugliest Tele-looking thing I've ever really wanted. I might have posted it in previous years: the T-Thru by Swing Guitars.

Unlike half of their line (the SE Asia-built affordable bunch), Swing Guitar's unsightly T-Thru is a very solid MIK guitar with mahogany wings straddling a through neck design and a choice of matte rosewood, stained maple, or flat-out "WTF is that" bubinga...each one in my experience averaging no less than 10lbs. Of course, it just has to come with crummy black hardware and a pair of hot rail humbuckers that can be split for single coil toanz. Did I mention how horrible it looks? They're even worse in person, although Fran's chops would likely make it more attractive if he ended up with one.

I wouldn't mind getting one because (1.) it looks sounds great and has incredible sustain, and (2) I just found a guy selling one locally for the equivalent of $180 (half of what one cost new). A beater around the office with bazillion tones on tap, I'm more than willing to trade off aesthetics in favor of such an all-in-one. Sadly, the one I have my eye on has the "WTF is that" bubinga top.

Shield your eyes, it's not Mr. Perkins' Esquire...

Even though I have largely stopped using pedals when I plug in, most of my current GAS is somehow pedals. I really want a Behringer Vintage Time Machine to muck around with, and the Ibanez WH10V2 wah (depressingly enough I have approximations of the effects they'll both get already, so they really are just GAS).
On a more practical note I've been trying to source a nice reverb unit/pedal for awhile... although it's too expensive I've been after a vanamps solemate really bad... I'll most probably end up with a cheaper digital pedal though.

Guitar-wise I'm set, I'm building another DC Junior. The first one I made from a kit is my favourite guitar, maybe this one will be even nicer... that's almost GAS.

This is the cheaper, non coil splitting version. The one I might get is actually discontinued.

I like the way it looks, looks like a 70's hippy sandwich bc rich mockingbird and a Tele had a kid

You should have seen the burl top one that used to be available. It looked like someone salvaged an XKE and got excited while dissecting its interior.

Fender AVRI Jaguar Olympic, J Marr, Ice Metallic, Teal Green, LPB... some of those (not sure if AVRi's came in all that combination but those are my pref colours for Jag).

And one nice small tube amp... not sure whether it is VOX, Marshall, Fender or something else.

This ain't much of a GAS since I play thru cheap Fender valve amp currently.

Fuck it, gave in and ordered it. Set/glue in neck so it should help me get my "Luither not Bodger" badge and provide plenty of swearing entertainment while trying to stick it all together.

I'm not sure if its the "daisy chain" effect or the PSU themselves as I've tried 2 different ones. However with the old Maplins "Power BanK" supplying the power they seem to bo ok. Or was until one of the kids somehow broke the switch FFS!

The valves in my vox are so cacked in it sounds horrible, so firstly I'd love to re-valve that. This looks likely to happen in the next month or so as I'm about to get paid for some cat-sitting.

I'd also like a couple of pedals, mainly got my eye on a Nobels ODR1 and I'd love a Timefactor - but thats not going to happen because of the price of the Eventide. At some point I might pick up a Behringer RV600 to muck around with though.

I'd also like a tele but buying a guitar won't happen.

I'm jonzing for a mustang bass-- either the squier or a used fender one.

also would like banjo lessons, but I just don't have any time left in my life.
