Man, I started listing this stuff out and wow does it add up. Almost embarrassed to list, but fuck it, this is therapy...
In the last couple months I've gotten the following either through trades or purchases:
- new Mac Pro desktop (and upgraded) as my music computer. Clearly the largest single dollar purchase, but should last the next 10 years as my last music computer (MacBook Pro) last 6 years.
- PRS SC594 McCarty
- PRS SC245
- 1984 JCM 800
- Charvel DK22 SSS in gold
- PRS Custom 24
- Fender American Pro Strat Limited Edition solid Rosewood Neck in Desert Sand
- ESP LTD MH-1000 Deluxe
- PRS SE Bass
- Toontrack Superior Drummer
- Native Instrument NHK 61 key keyboard
- Heavyocity, Sonokenetic and Native Instrument libraries
- new WiFi 6 routers and extenders
- Friedman Golden Pearl pedal
- multiple sets of pickups; Seymour Duncan Black Winter sets (2), TB14, Dimarzio, Suhr, Bare Knuckle, at least 12-14 pickups in all
- tons of parts; switches, pots, straps, cables, installed 16 guitars with strap locks, patch cables, strings, guitar racks, tools, picks, polish, fretboard oils, keyboard stand, new studio chair, new computer monitors, tubes
I have sold a bunch too that paid for a lot of the above. And I've actually played guitar more than ever.
