I need to go back in time and punch past me in the face when he goes to buy that electric guitar.
You absolutely belong here; welcome!
I think there's 2 personality types that get this disease; firstly there's the Weka. Anything new and shiny must be collected immediately and immediately replaced when something newer and shinier is available. I love these people; there's no hope for them but they provide a valuable service by depreciating the gear we want to buy a year after the release date.
Then there's the tone seekers; looking for the sound in their head. I have proved this can be a finite process. There are many shiny things I would like but nothing I need. I hear what I've always wanted to hear. It's a simple little rig; 3 guitars, 8 pedals on the board, stereo consisting of 2 valve amps; one combo and one head and choice of 2 cabs...........nothing excessive
Oh and to get there only took 12 guitars, 7 amps, around 50 pedals and 15 years. Easy!
