Ticket To Buy
“I shall apologise in advance for demonstrating galactic levels of hypocrisy in future columns by regaling you with tales of gear purchases”
order to minimise on porterage/cartage costs recently, I’ve been leaving different setups at a couple of different studios and venues. But, ironically, that’s meant I’ve been on a bit of a gear-buying spree. However, there’s a nagging voice in my head, which these guitars? I think I could have survived almost my entire career with essentially three guitars, a Fender Princeton, one or two decent drive pedals and a Line 6 HX Effects just in case. Over the years, I’ve spent tens of thousands of pounds on amp heads with switching systems, a million different drive pedals, and various multi-effects that offer you a choice of cup of tea or large gin and tonic during your Musicians’ Union mandated 15-minute studio break.
