mortlock · January 05, 2012, 01:34:06 AM

..under the influence of drugs and alcohol..
i do it alot..most of the time i grab a record off ebay for not too much damage. ill occasionally dabble in gear..but i like to do that sober..

I'm real bad about that - SunnO can vouch for that. I go back and forth for days deciding if I should buy something, then I have a few drinks on the weekend and bam! New guitar coming in the mail.

Instant Dan · January 05, 2012, 08:39:32 AM

I just bought some bullet cables the other weekend when drunk.

grimniggzy · January 05, 2012, 09:34:04 AM

I used to do this a lot. Now I hardly let myself buy anything.

bass sic · January 05, 2012, 09:51:29 AM

Deaners statement exactly. Alls it takes is a couple cocktails and I'm pulling the trigger on something I've held off for a week/month. Damn technology.

justinhedrick · January 05, 2012, 09:56:31 AM

i never buy anything online really. usually it's just craigslist, but usually i'm too damn broke to drop cash on something.

MichaelZodiac · January 05, 2012, 10:04:27 AM

I used to do this with records all time, not so much lately. I did buy my Bassballs on a hunch, just walking in a music store when I was getting some cables.

zachoff · January 05, 2012, 10:29:42 AM

Mine's usually music, but not very often.

VOLVO))) · January 05, 2012, 10:58:27 AM

Do it with inexpensive shit... "new belt?" Bought!

I buy a lot of "preparedness" gear, always upgrading something I carry.

Sadly, I am totally unprepared for the zombie apocalypse. If it was just me I would be, but my son essentially makes me fucked.

Yep, when end-time cometh, Sunn0))) will be able to change a string like that!

VOLVO))) · January 05, 2012, 12:24:41 PM

you bet your sweet ass I'll be able to!

Also, start fires, make shelter, have 20 hours of 150 lumen light on me at all times, and if we have my truck... MREs, thermal blankets, two tents, two sleeping bags, a full medical kit (not some dinky first aid kit,) a thousand waterproof matches, wire saws, a couple hundred feet of rope, walkie talkies, a full set of tools... hahaha.

bass sic · January 05, 2012, 03:59:38 PM

No twinkies? You ain't gonna make it pal.

Jake · January 05, 2012, 09:21:55 PM

Hahaha. Funny topic.

I guess I put this in my shopping cart after a drunken night last week. Don't remember doing it at all and only found out after I got a "hey, you forgot to pay for this" email.

LOL, that's one of the things I did pull the trigger on.

Jake · January 05, 2012, 09:47:46 PM

Wow. That's pretty funny!

If you don't like it, maybe I'll get drunk and buy it from you one night.

Lumpy · January 06, 2012, 12:26:18 AM

I like to shop online for GAS that I never follow through on. I look at Craigs List almost every day, Ebay once a week, various Classifieds forums (Talk Bass etc) almost every day. I don't really need anything though. $:-\$

mortlock · January 23, 2012, 07:47:36 PM

fuck..i just did it again..im not going to mention the $ value, but its a little more of a hit than i would have allowed my good judgement to take if i was sober.
however i do got 2 new killer table top synths coming..

Hemisaurus · January 23, 2012, 07:51:24 PM

yowch

unless you got like. WSG or something cheap.

mortlock · January 23, 2012, 08:42:51 PM

i wont regret it..im actually kinda stoked..

neighbor664 · January 23, 2012, 09:21:03 PM

No gear shopping lately. But I did buy this shirt the other day while intoxicated.

A wise purchase.

clockwork green · January 23, 2012, 09:46:35 PM

The real dangerous ones for me are Amazon Prime stuff...next fucking day shipping for $4!!! iTunes is the other bad one...buying music and movies all the time. I'm pretty good at only getting gear I plan on getting but I plan on getting a lot of gear. If I could have things overnighted to my house for $4 the Craigslist and eBay would be a lot more trouble. I have no patience for ground shipping anymore.
