Are our rigs proportionate to our talent?

Disregard the singing… I’m just working up the part for the band.
How’s it sound?

when I was young, driven, passionate and playing all the time I didn't have the money for much of the gear I really wanted.

Now I have money for most of the gear I want, I no longer have youth, drive or passion, and my playing isn't as good as it was.

A trick of fate.

This.

This x1000

that's just too much nigori sake talking tontight

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

Me too . I rank them first to last . I have 3 main amps then rotate the rest

 

[Techdeth]

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

Ya . It was a blast . But you know about mom and pop stores . Dying breed

 

[Techdeth]

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..

Well stop ignoring it !

Well stop ignoring it !

i am inspired. I am actually playing right now. If I make you a clip, will you tell me if you like, hate, or whatever my tone?

I just like knowing my gear isn't holding me back. I want the weakest link in my chain to be me. No more excuses that way.

Legit. I’m the same way with other things. It’s like working on a walk-board 50’ in the air. You buy the best ladders, boards and jacks money can buy, set them up properly and tie them off. You know they aren’t gonna fail. Now if you fall off and plummet to your death it’s because YOU did something stupid. So just don’t do anything stupid.

Don't comment on the shitty playing. Just the tone. Is it too saturated? Too much gain? Does it sound good or like shit? etc.

Of course . Idk why you stopped sending me stuff. And man . That’s why I love most is if I inspire people to play more and even make songs . Send some

You never taught me how to play rhythm, only sultry neo soul leads I can't write a song to save my life.

Sounds brutal

 

[Brandonrz]

I have way too much shit. I deserve maybe a 5150 and Mesa cab. But it’s about my only “fun” expense in life right now aside from taking the family on vacations. So, living out the fantasy I had when I was 13 of having this much gear. Some days I do really think, yeah I could sell most of this.

 

[thegame]

are we way more loaded than we are skilled?

Not so much anymore. They both left recently
