I'd be happy with my old G1000! It made me money for nearly 10 years. The music and the audience hasn't really changed since then! I think most of us could go out on 20 year old gear and TBH, I doubt you would hear a complaint from a single audience member or club manager.

Truth is, most of the new stuff is for US, not them! I know I'm a bloody sight harder to keep happy and entertained than 99.999% of my crowd! Something new every now and again (say once every ten years, LOL!) gets me stoked, but the truth is, I doubt the audience cares as much as I do...

I am just happy now, with most of the G70 in a 20 lbs package, and the return of the Chord Sequencer, audio playback and live loops in my BK-9. This might be my deathbed arranger..!
