I hear ya Chas,....but like all of us you have to reach the end of the road by yourself with buying new gear that you don't REALLY need over and over again,...it's almost like trying to stop smoking of which I happily did 35 yrs ago cold turkey and never went back...having the talent to play good music is the majority of it no matter how you do it....the gear is just the tools in the bag to build the house.

Good Luck
