Are our rigs proportionate to our talent?

[DanTravis62]

No it’s not. In my case anyway. But I also don’t have near the expensive gear a lot of the guys here have.

Same here, my gear collection is absolutely pedestrian compared to most RTers

If I spent as much time clawing for income as I do woodshedding endlessly to try to outshred and outriff everyone, I'm sure I could change the ratio

But that's the Senator Palpatine level irony, good gear is wasted on those who can afford it

 

[gibson08]

I def have more gear than talent, but I enjoy having the stuff around.

Sometimes.

 

[Philhouse]

My hand truck is far more expensive than what I need it for, but yolo. I used to dream of carting two fridges - two trucks at once, up steps, like Michelangelobatio's National Removals INC, but that was when I was young and naive. Now I'm just happy with some solid Nu-rubber wheels and a TIG-welded frame with some tasteful relicing. Ratchet straps are for folks with neck tattoos and anime girl looks.

 

[Techdeth]

In my case, i am all gear/all hack

Dude you have a killer amp and cab . Really all we need .

This sounds suspiciously close to something your best friend Reza once said. And besides, fairly sure you have had more high end gear than most of Rig-talk.

I spent a long time searching for the gear that i felt was best for me. Now I need to learn to play it

 

[Techdeth]

Once I got the Larry I found the amp and the man to match my playing with sound . So ya . 2 crazy geniuses leveled up

lol I’m jk I just wanted to say something stupid . I don’t even thing stuff like this

I mean in quantity, not quality - i've had a ton of nice stuff, 1-2 amps at a time

I'm talking about the people who can afford walls of stuff - generally to be able to afford walls of nice stuff, you aren't gonna have time to work on your guitar playing

Dude . You always dumb shit like they lol
You got some killer riffs . Just make some songs now . You good to go . You have a unique half stack . Killer and original . But I’d say blend it one other head just to go next level . The 90s recto coming to you ?

I got lucky . At one point in the 2000s I had like 80 students . I found a nich thay worked for years . That’s how I got my wall. But the business closed . So those days are over

I could never do the wall of amps. I would pick my favorite two and send the rest packing. But there are a few bastards here that actually play all their amps. @RedB4Black and @Techdeth

I have tried talking Matt into thinning the heard, but guy genuinely enjoys playing them all

Yeah, that's the literal ONE exception - if the way you're makin money is teaching guitar

Honestly I think the MGL has the marshall sounds covered for chris, he needs a recto

Problem is, i think of buying another amp and doing stereo after trying it at matt's house. But i barely play the shit i have now. Everyonce in a while I hear something in my head and go to make it into a song. But lately, i hear it and just ignore it..

Man. It is weird all the amps i tried that it took so long to play a recto. But goddamn is it good with a boost

 

[rsm]

I have 11 amps; I play them all; just not enough.
