Im starting to think I'm going to have to either break through a wall, or sell some gear. I hate selling gear. I've always been happy about gear I've kept. I've been hit or miss on gear I've sold.

No...especially since I know that all I need to do is buy one more piece of gear, and then I'll be good on the guitar . Of course I keep saying that after I buy each piece of gear .

I do regret getting rid of some gear, like the Peavey Predator and a UK made Valvestate Marshall Combo You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Usually I always plan an upgrade for the same purpose (for example if I'm selling audio interface I plan a new one before selling the old). This does make it easier for me to part with the gear (there is somehow almost always an upgrade out there) - now the trick I pull on myself is that I actually don't get the upgraded item untili I really need it. This helps me get only gear I plan to actually use. I have noticed that this gives me a real pleasure too - when I look at the gear I have and know how much usage it gets almost daily. I do love getting new gear, especially stomp boxes! p.s. There is no such thing as too much gear! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

But then I bought a Behringer V-Amp, Pod 2.0 and Rocktron Cyborg Distortion. I"m going to sell all of those as well since I really don't need them. Ebay here I come!!

I haven't sold a guitar yet, and have only sold one amp and two pedals... I have a lot of gear. But that being said, it's all useable stuff, even if one of my guitars needs a new bridge to be functional, it's still a guitar I would play and prefer to keep. I'm trying to sell one RG350DX but I honestly can't even give away the darn thing!! Other than that I keep everything because I don't like selling gear, and it all has a use. I try to only by gear if I'm at a point where I feel my skills have developed enough to warrant something better, or if something is on sale and I would use it in the future (For example, I buy a lot of pedals when they go on sale so I can make pedal demos).
