Just read your topic to late..
And made another post about my latest toy..
Sorry about that...
Because you are probably right..
But i just can’t help being happy with every new toy..
And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. I was just questioning whether the act of purchasing new gear should be the main focus of the forum. What you DO with the new gear is far more interesting to me than just the fact that you were able to purchase it. I think the part that is annoying is the 'egging on' of others to get in on the buying frenzy, especially people who may not be able to afford it without negatively affecting family finances. Buying new gear is fine; making it seem like some major musical milestone is not. I'd prefer to see a brand new post stating "check out this tune I just did on my new ***fill-in-the-blanks***" rather than "Okay everybody, gather 'round. I'm buying a new Yamaha Penis...uh, I maean Genos". I mean "UNBOXING"!, come on, man, who really gives a damn? JMO.

I can see your point...
In general i buy used gear..
And sell it a few months or years later
Witouth loosing money..
And buy something else..
Discovering a new instruments is as much fun to me as making music and improving my skills... all instruments have their own character.. espescially when you don’t just stick to arrangers (but then there every brand has its own character too)
Discovering new instruments and ways to play also helps (a little) improving my musical skills.. its not as much about buying the gear... but much more about exploring new things.. and older high quallity things are often just as much fun to explore as newer things..
But then, i think i am the only one that asked 2 questions this week about actually making music..
