Good news and bad news for Mr Price

[Ian Price]

First the good news (which outweighs the bad):

My partner and I are expecting our second child in November!

The bad news:

I'll be needing to sell some of my stuff to free up some room and get some cash together! I'll be putting some stuff up on seconds out in the next few days.


It's not the end of my gear buying days but I do need to be more careful and keep an eye out for bargains for a while!

Congrats, Ian - I have 2 boys, it's the perfect sized family for me!!!

Looking forward to your contributions to Seconds Out any time now!!!

Congrats, Ian - I have 2 boys, it's the perfect sized family for me!!!

Cheers mate - have a little girl, not really fussed about what the next one is as long as its healthy etc!

Congrats, I have two (Boy and Girl)  and the restrictions it put on gear purchasing only seemed to be temporary.

Congratulations Ian :D

How old's your little girl?  I have a 2 year old and a 6 month old boy, it is pretty hard but really good having 2 now and both so close together.

I'm currently selling stuff to make space after having my second on new years day.  But it just means getting rid of stuff I don't use that much or in the case of a few acoustics I'm selling, guitars that are too loud for evening practise.
We could do with the cash but I can't bring myself to sell any of me best guitars so I'm retaining 3 electrics and 1 acoustic.  The only way I'll sell one is to get something better!

I hardly had time to play at all when he was born until recently but I've managed to get a band together and we are having our first full band practise this Thursday :D

I bet if you sell stuff on ebay not all of the money will make it safely out of your paypal account :D

Cheers Tom - we've got a bit of a gap as Megan is 4 and a half. Would have been nice if they were closer but it's not a huge difference - also means Megan can help take part in looking after the baby.

I think I'll probably end up keeping two electrics (probably my strat and esquire) and listing the LP Copy (now with Mules :( ), old Tele (at a cheaper price than I wanted), Fulltone OCD, possibly my Shure SM-57 and maybe a few other things but haven't decided yet.

I haven't got any kids to list/compare/sympathise  , but congratulations Mr Price!  :D

I think the good news far outweighs the bad!

[ailean]

Congratulations to both of you. Shame about the gear, but I'm sure the future will hold more gear for you.

[Henk]

Congratulations Ian!

My wife and i have 4 kids, one girl and 3 boys.

Somehow we seem to manage but its nice to have some stuff left to sell when the need is there, so dont sell too much!

Good luck and lotsa fun, Henk

Congrats. I have been there and have had to sell stuff for various reasons but being a Dad is the best "job" in the world and beats any gear hands down.

Congrats mate - all the best to you and your wife  :)

Shame you're not selling the Esquire, I'd have snapped your hand off for it!

[dave_mc]

congratulations :)

[Ian Price]

Congrats mate - all the best to you and your wife  :)

Sahem you're not selling the Esquire, I'd have snapped your hand off for it!

I was waiting for that  :lol: It's a keeper for the time being but you'll be first on my list if I ever need to sell it. I think to satisy my GAS needs I'll get a certain amount of money together for the baby and look at funding a new amp with what is left over - hence my power scaling question in tech. As a result of this GAS my Laney may well be on seconds out soon!

[Twinfan]

Good luck with everything - hope it all goes well  :)

I think a few of us are thinking the same thing..

YOU'RE SELLING YOUR TELECASTER!?!?! :(:(:(
