Diki........nothing lasts forever in my world....I use em try em out MAKE Mucho Money with them & move on if necessary no biggie my friend. My philosophy is this I pay X amount for gear....I play a few gigs and get paid back for my initial layout....after that its all gravy. If I dump it, throw it out, give it away, trade it, or sell it so what? its my prerogative, many times its not because the gear isn't adequate or not good its just a business decision....my needs are not other peoples needs. Keep stuff 2 years? Oh Come Now!
