Very true EPU. I'm glad you pointed that out!! Gotta work to get the goods. I work, but can only a little bit of gear here and there. However, I am happy with what I've got for now and when I 'really' want that new stuff, you can bet I'll be the first one to work for it. About the lottery, I've heard it referred to as a "tax on the stupid" so take of that what you wish. I'm thankful to participate in music on any level, no matter what gear I have. But GAS gets to everyone eventually! =)
