Diki, I think you went too far with your "it's a laziness thing" remark. Looking back on most of the equipment I've owned, I think I could happily still be playing with/on most of them today, but I have always felt the need to keep my equipment current and saleable. Admittedly, my long gone Deluxe Reverb would be worth a good chunck today, but I good chunk for it when I sold it 20 yrs. ago. Laziness in learning my trade is far from the truth. If I were the same player I was 25 years ago, I wouldn't hire me today. I am much better and more experienced as a keyboard player of all types. I understand the music better and translate it to my audiences much better. New equipment is a personal choice. I've always felt that being a keyboardist involved some sort of addiction to new technology. On the other hand, my 20 yr old Kurzweil Mark 5 sounds as good today as any piano clone I've played.

So what am I saying? I don't know, but it seemed like a good idea at the time. Any way, I was offended by your remark.
