travlin'easy Senior Member Registered: 12/08/02 Posts: 15576 Loc: Forest Hill, MD USA	PSR-3000 - so long I've lost track of time. I purchased it a week after they first became available so it's probably pushing 8 years now. Still looks and works great.

I don't see it as a badge of honor to keep gear for years although if some prefer to do so surly that's their prerogative and enjoyability. What does it all prove?, ..... absolutely nothing. Enjoy what you have to play.

Dnj Senior Member Registered: 09/21/00 Posts: 43703	I would also add that an everyday working Pro vs a Home Player is another thing to factor into the reasoning besides financial means also, I see no right or wrong in either scenarios...keep or change its all good.......just sayin' Edited by Dnj (02/03/13 08:14 AM)

Bill Lewis Senior Member Registered: 11/12/08 Posts: 2447 Loc: Bluffton/Hilton Head SC USA	G1000s since they came out, is it 10+ years ? I had three for a while and now down to two as I'm slowly moving on to the BK7M. They still work great. I'm amazed how some of you guys switch to a new board and have it out on a gig in no time. Its taking me forever to program all my Styles. In the days before arrangers I also moved slowly and didn't feel I really had a true mastery of a board until I worked with it for about 6 months. And that was when I was gigging a lot more. Once I would get in that comfort zone I would hate to leave it as many here do with their arrangers now. This has given me an idea for a new thread, your favorite setup of all time. _________________________ Bill in SC --- Roland BK9 (2) Roland BK7M, Roland PK5 Pedals, Roland FP90, Roland CM30 (2), JBL Eon Ones (2) JBL 610 Monitor, Behringer Sub, EV mics, Apple iPad (2) Behringer DJ mixer

What are your experiences so far pro/con? personally I never had luck when I went the module/controller route thru the years, I just like it "All In One"... good luck.
