Thx! I had an understanding wife that was generally very supportive of my three vices (Cars, Guitars and Guns). She felt guitars were the safest of the three and routinely encouraged me to buy what I wanted. Don't confuse great gear with talent though, there’s a reason I’m in the “Crappy bass players with Cool Gear club”. For me, Guitars are a hobby not a living. If I were a performing artist I’d have completely different gear, a lot less of it, and more time spent in the woodshed, those are actually the people I envy, we have a lot of talented ones in this club.
