| >> I would agree with that. People can buy into something by means of gear but in itself it's no substitue for creativity and stretching the possibilities. << I find it amazing that some players are incredibly secretive about the technology and techniques involved in their performances, as though that's where the magic is... Clearly, that's total balls, as anyone who's witnessed one of the half a million 'weekend warrior' bands around the globe with the most incredible equipment thanks to well paid day jobs still not being able to play a decent version of Mustang Sally, let alone generate much of substance in terms of original music. And, of course, the opposite - incredible music coming from the crappiest of crap equipment. Great albums on four track cassette machines, shite music on tens of thousands of pounds worth of state of the art gear. Great gear can remove obstacles to getting the music out that's inside you, and crap gear can prove to be a creatively inspiring framework within which to work, but the creative quality is clearly not innate to either end of the gear spectrum.
