To be serious, I think you're making too big a deal about your gear choices. You could have been writing/creating/recording instead of all this effort you've put into worrying about gear.
Not at all. I dont play every waking moment, and I dont force myself to write. Which leaves me with time in front of the tv from time to time.
While I think we're all in agreement that the player matters more than the gear, the right gear can enhance a players sound.
By not learning and investigating your options, you are SORELY limiting yourself. Which Im sorry, is just dumb. I'll gladly use what I have, but that doesnt mean I'll stop looking for something better.
SOOOO ... I take time I have, when not playing, to research gear to improve my knowledge, and in the end my playing. There is no bad here.
