The same here. If I say I am just going into the music store to look I end up buying something. I also have it worse because I play the keyboard and the drums so recently we have purchased a Kawai digital piano, a hammond XK-3. I also spend about a $100 to $150 every two months on drum supplies. Its like I am addicted to it. I guess its because I love music so much.

Seems you guys have G.A.S.!!!  8O

Gear Aquisition Syndrome!

I have to eyball things at least 6-12 months, before I'll buy it, so I don't think I have GAS too bad. I do go to the store a lot though, but I usually end up just window shopping, because I usually am more worried about the prices dropping after I buy something! That's one of the things that makes me wait so long.

I'm going out the the local music store with my video camera today. I'm going to record it all for you guys!

DUH! YOU SHOULD'VE FELT FOOLISH FOR NOT BUYING IT!!!!  8O

YOU COULD'VE RESOLD THAT ON EBAY FOR ABOUT DOUBLE! LOL!  8O  8O


What do you want for your p120? I was thinking about getting one.

Questions:

1. How old is it?
2. Are there any dent, nicks, bruises; chips, scratches, marks; rattles, broken keys, or missing buttons on it?
3. Are you the first owner? If so, how long have you had it?

Yeah, i did feel foolish..i just didnt have the assets..at that time..anyway i can get another at a low price when i get the $$$..Yeah, i could have sold it on ebay..i don't kow a thing about ebay i go over there to look at all the pretty instrutments..and modules..but, i have never done any selling. I got a hammond module off there.. Yeah my p120 is in mint condition..i am the one and only owner of it and it stays in my bedroom..i don't move it..never.  I think i have had it for about 2yrs i have to pull up my receipt..everything works excellent. i just want another keyboard like the s90 or something..my fingers really have to push hard and iam a old lady and i get pains every now and then...the problem for me is shipping it..i have the box it came in..i have the booklets...and it came with the pedal, and the surge chord.  Its brown.

I have a Hammond A-105 (that I got from E-bay for a great price) that collects dust.  That is probably a violation of some gospel musicians Code of Conduct. :)

I think that its cool that you take time to prepare your arsenal and artillery for your weapon.  Minstrels and musicians are a key part of spiritual battle and if you take time out to ensure that your weapons are sharp then you can do that much more damage in the spirit!

I have numerous sheet music, tapes, cds and planning to purchase a new keyboard this year.  Making sure that I’m prepared for all out war!!

Hmm....I'm thinking about it. Put it on ebay though, if you don't sell it within a couple months, which you should, most likely, I'll get it. Selling on ebay isn't hard.

 If you plan on being a musician for the rest of your life (and most of us do), there is no such thing as paying to much for a musical instrument. It's an investment!!!

 Also if you have any people in your area who don't understand, it's totally natural.  When it comes down to investing into your musical career/goal/dream, you can't really base your investments off of the opinions of non-musicians.

 They will ask why do you pay so much;

you answer their question by imposing another like: Why do you pay $50,000 for a truck, 5,000 for some rims and 5,000 for a big screen TV? LOL.

 How much a musician is willing to invest has a lot to do with how serious they are about having a spirit of excellency for GOD. (the worldly musicians make sure they have the top notch gear). We who represent GOD should be better!!!!

 I never undertood musicians who drive Escalades and Denali's, but they show up at church with a Radioshack minature piano and batteries!!!.  mixed priorities!!!)

They spin more time polishing their rims than practicing.(And then they have the nerve to hate on the more seasoned musicians who play with more skill and use pro-gear.

INVEST!!!!!!! and be blessed

Well, wannabe,,I know I can sell it..its the preparing it for the shipping and handleing..its heavy.  Sometimes, I think, I will really miss it..if i sell it..too.  :lol:

I'm a sucker for good deals, even if I don't have the money or the room.

Has anyone ever seen an electric Baldwin, like they made in the 60s?  It came in a case that looked like a home console piano...

I got a chance to get one for free about a year ago, in non-working condition-I use it for a headboard!

I'm looking at buying an 88 key Rhodes piano for about $400 as we speak...my hands are shaking, I can barely contain myself....

I paid $25 for a Roland Sh-101, several years ago, it's kind of like a Moog synth, they are worth up $1000 on the market....

When I bought my C3, the seller let me trade old synths and pay the rest off each month.  

I know that most of you guys like the Motifs, the Tritons, etc...not me, I love the old stuff.  Even if I had the money, you couldn't get me into anything like that-the only exception I would make would be the Hammond XK-3(two, so I can have double manuals) and/or the Nord Electro, 76 key version.  So I guess that would cost me some money$$$!!!

How bout me

I have a Korg N1 synthesizer which I bought from Ebay for $770.  Shipping cost me $100 coz it's like 56 lbs...88 weighted keys.I added some accessories and the total came to about $1,000 but every time I play it in church it all worth it. Lives are changed and the worship is great. So I think U can't really overspend if it's for the Glory of  God.
