RE: When??

[Jimmy George <jimmy@loadhandler.com>]

oh go ahead and buy a new toy! nothing like it to open up the creative
pours. eventually we all hopefully get to a point where our gear is 
realized
and therefore maximized in it's performing / recording usage. even then i
find it good for the soul to score an occasional new toy ... my three month
rule is if i don't use an item with in three months then it is gone to make
room.

i'll never forget the day i replaced 100's of pounds of rack gear with a 72
pound johnson millennium 150 amp ...

best wishes

Thats not the way I meant it. I think we should care to be up to the 
tecnological quality possible. But a good equipment like for example 
a Lexicon Reverb keeps its place for 10 years. So it ends up cheaper, 
better and "more mine" than the latest mfx box.
So it depends on the type of thing. Strings are changed most and the 
guitar least :-)
