It just occurred to me this minute what a major cause of UAS is. It's posting here on these forums.

I don't think the forums create UAS, but they sure help me find stuff that feeds my UAS!

This. And the search for "your" sound, the personal holy grail of sound, size, playability, materials. That and the whole "well there's always one better..." Which of course there is, but seriously, we must take time to play. Because as a previous poster stated, more stuff can't buy you a game, or here, make you a better player.
And yet we search on!
for me i see stuff on the forum i'll never afford, like a national resonator uke, a risa LP tenor/soprano
and any kamaka and i want to cry so i feed my uas with cheap ukuleles i can afford. I know the search
would be over for me, if i could obtain a few different types of high end ukes, but at this point in my minimum wage life
and the age i am and still not making any money i don't see myself affording any of these gems.
You know, it's funny; I'm one of those who has been fortunate enough to acquire some of my "holy grail" instruments. And while some of them are really spectacular, I get the same amount of pleasure from playing a more modest uke. There are definitely folks on this forum who acquired a Moore Bettah or a DeVine or what have you, and that was it; they never wanted another uke. For me, I enjoy variety and the thrill of the hunt, and I imagine I will always be like that.
The other thing I'll observe is I used to be as enthusiastic about mandolins as I am now about ukes, and acquired a pretty impressive collection. Over the years, as my mandolin playing fell off, I felt silly having so many, and sold most of them off. The three I kept were neither the most expensive nor the fanciest; they are the ones that I most enjoyed playing, period. Well, okay, one of them is pretty darn fancy, but it sounds sooo good!

Thank you! I think what fuels mine more than hanging out on UU is visiting B&M stores, seeing what my firends are playing that's new, and going to TBUG, our festival....got my 1st taste of UAS at TBUG....I drooled everywhere, my eyes bugged, and I couldnt stop blathering "gimmie, gimmie".
