That being said, I'm still constantly buying and selling gear and haven't yet outgrown the excitement of finding a great deal or unboxing the latest and greatest.Ĭars, stamps, coins, video gaming machines, sports memorabilia, or model trains, RC cars, planes, and boats, computers, watches. Everything else is creature comforts and player experience. I agree with ProfD, that for the music I do, any pro level keyboard with a wide jack-of-all-trades sound palette can be functional for the sounds that I need for the music I do. Acquiring vintage instruments was a big passion for me 10-15 years and starting around 2017 I just lost the interest, sold those things off to better homes, and moved to all current generation technologies and workflows. By that point, I was married, in graduate school and starting a family, so went from gigging 4-5 nights a week to about 2. The era of owning a Rhodes, Hammond, Clav, Mellotron and MiniMoog and taking that out was before my time and I didn't really dig into mastering any of those vintage sound palettes until the 2000's started and I started to have disposable income to buy vintage instruments and amps. My teenage years were in the 80's and my 20's were in the 90's.
