paul_c2 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I know it will go against the grain, but I read another interesting thread - I think it was on a guitar forum though - which observed that there's far more threads about gear itself - guitars, amps, effects, selling/buying etc than using that gear either gigging or technique or theory. That forum was probably more skewed than this one but its worth mentioning. I'm probably the exception - I really don't buy that much, or often - but as an estimate, I probably buy something every 3 months, but actually play at least every other day. So that's 50x the time spent. Of course, not every day playing is noteworthy......but hopefully you get the point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky 4000 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Absolutely, the technique section is like a barren wasteland... so is the recording section. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good timing for that observation, if y’all head on over to the recording section , the August composition challenge has just started. Now don’t be shy , you only have to listen to a few of mine to realise it is the taking part that counts, but it really is a great way open the creative musical muscles everyone’s welcome 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, at 9pm tonight (1st of August 2019) the total asking price value of basses for sale on page 1 of the ‘basses for sale’ forum totalled £38,000 and included some real high end exotic basses. I believe that accepted logic is a preowned bass sells for around 2/3 of original purchase price (subject to condition of course) so just how much money are we ‘wasting’ in depreciation in pursuit of our hobby? Please note: if anyone has the answer to this question, please do not share the results with my wife 😂 Prices are going up. With £38,000 you can only afford three Fender Custom Shop Phil Lynott Precision basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
