Selling Gear, Making Music

I sold a bunch of gear recently. A lot of stuff that wasn’t getting used live or was staying in cases—basically anything that felt like a collection. I kind of did a level-one cleanout a few months ago. This is probably levels two and three. A couple more guitars to sell. And I’m thinking about going to level four, too. I’m not shopping as much. I’m making more music. And I’m getting stuff done. I have a little modular setup. I’m thinking about getting rid of that. Guess how much music has been made on it. It’s the same amount of music that gets made on any modular setup. = zero I can only play one guitar at a time. And it turns out the basses I had, and have had for a long time, play better, sound better, and, most importantly, look cooler than anything I’ve bought over the last few years. The one thing I’m consistently noticing is that, early on, my decisions were good. My first real bass was a Rickenbacker 4001. Great decision. My first analog synth was the Minitaur. Excellent…
