Wall of Mouths

I get your point Messiah, in that you don’t have to have the very latest or most expensive equipment in order to sound good. What you seem to do though is take everything to the extreme, which makes your views less credible. I probably don’t like gear junkies any more than you do but I can appreciate that musicians, including myself, want to play on good quality instruments in order to improve the quality of your sound. Of course good gear doesn’t have any bearing on your creativity - you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to work that out.
