I have read the responses and they are all good. The issue is not money. The issue is, and I believe that many of you have experienced this also, is whether your spouse supports music as a hobby. I love my wife dearly but sometimes she just does not get the fact that I needed the Classic 30 so that I would not have to all my HRD to small gigs. That is just one example. Although she will freak when my SX tele arrives although I bought that to bring to a weekly jam I host (paying gig) so others may participate.

Out of my hobby has sprung a music production company as a side venture from my day job of being an Army Officer. (Now I can reap some tax benefits from this.) It also sprung from being in a band where I was at the mercy of the owner of the PA who felt they deserved a bigger cut of the money because they had the PA.

My wife knows what I have however she does not like the way I go about it getting it. She likes it when I play but doesn't like the band dynamics I have to go through as the band leader.

Having said all that ...... the gear will not keep me warm at night and keeping my wife happy will. Communication is the key.
