Are our rigs proportionate to our talent?

Definitely not but if I leave a hole in my income my neighbor and family members will try to get me to take up golf. To me I draw the parallel to people who collect classic cars. No Dales in there but most can do a burnout.

Fuck it I blame this site.

My main rig is a Caparison into a $1200 pedalboard into a Diezel Herbert MKII into a Mesa cab.

Do I do all that justice? Fuck no but my rig will pass muster around here lol

I got some chops, but not enough to justify my rig.

I also own a 964 and an R1. I don’t do those justice either. I got money, I like nice shit.

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.

I have the passion but more pain in the tendons, back and legs. My bandmates are younger than me (drummer is 15 years younger) and I don't think he realizes what it feels like for someone like me to do a gig.
