Maybe the peace of mind that Donny gets from upgrading is worth a few bucks in "trial" expenses. Some people buy lotto tickets, others play slot machines, still others piss away their money at the bar during the gig. (yeah, yeah..I said the G word) It's all in how you rate the cost of entertainment. I, for one, can be very entertained at the casino spending no more than $20 or $20 dollars. That's it! That's all I need to spend.If I win a little - great, if I don't, then I've PAID for entertainment value.

Donny doesn't get hurt too bad in the long run. What he losses on one, he makes up for on another. It's a bigger mistake to keep an expensive instrument that isn't right for your needs than to cut bait and move on, right?

Donny's fickle with gear, but he's got a heart of gold, and I know if I need someone to watch my back - he's there. Make yourself a few good friends like that in a lifetime, and you'll be a successful man!
