I think that it's a lot to do with the world that we live in - we're generally far more afluent than we ever have been, and decent gear is pretty cheap these days.

I still can't afford any of it, mind you...

That's very true. Decent stuff is more affordable - used to be that you had a choice between the Encore Stratalike for £120, or the US Standard Strat at £850, with very little in between. Manufacturers have realised there's a lot of cash to be made out of the middle of the market.

Haven't you guys only played for a year or so? Whatever you do for a living, that's what I wanna do. Unless you're an accountant, in which case I don't envy you at all.

Yes we have gone rather nuts. I guess we both have ok jobs (biomedical scientist and software developer) a relitively cheap mortgage, no car, no kids. Although it's only been a year we have both been spending most of our spare time on our new hobby (if we had spent that time up the pub we probably have spent as much with nothing to show for it).

I got seriously ill about 18 months ago and kind of took up the guitar hobby to help my recovery, so as a concequence I have kind of taken it up obsessivly and put all my resources into it (time and money). Ailean being the supportive chap that he is has thrown himself into sharing the hobby and his resources with me.

Plus being able to get the sounds that I can out of our kit is awsome :D

Ailean:- Yeah, it is a bit much for one year, and I have spent more than I should, but we are both tone junkies and it all gets used, more or less daily. :)

And it's a lovely thing to do as a couple

My girlfriend recently picked up the guitar again after giving up on it some 5 years ago. She's quickly becomming a gearhead too. :oops:

... I really should marry that bird, right?

Well a shared hooby doesn't make a relationship, but it's a very good sign :)

Yup I feel the same way. One year and ALL that gear?
I've played 3-4 years and I only have one amp, one or two guitars and two BKPs

Then you've got your priorities all wrong :)

Seriously, it's not THAT much gear & none of it is massively expensive.

It seems to me that ailean & Prozacbear have made some canny purchases (e.g. the way they snapped up the Feline tabby). If they are getting enjoyment out of it then good luck to them.
