Steelers seem to go through a lot of gear

Have you noticed the numbers of posts on the buy and sell, (including me). You would think we were never satisfied with our equipment, always getting something else. We are a sick bunch, glad we are also a rich bunch cause this stuff costs a fortune.

I played a Sho-Bud Super Pro through a Session 500 for twenty years. Since I traded it off three years ago, I've been through a Carter SD-12, Carter D-10, Fessenden S12, MCI D-10, Mullen D-10, Carter SD-10, three Nashville 400's, a Session 400 Ltd, another Session 500, and two different rack systems. Now I'm looking for a D-10 Emmons p/p. When will it ever stop?...Maybe never, right Al?<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Bob Tuttle on 19 September 2002 at 11:30 AM.]</p></FONT>

Just think what all this buying and selling does for the economy. We keep a lot of money in circulation.

My problem, is I buy, and never clean up the stuff I don't use anymore. You guys are lucky that you can part with the things you no longer use.
Don't have time to list the things that should be moved on to someone else, what a mess. "Pack Rat"

I haven't helped the economy -

1971 Sho~Bud Crossover>Gone, to get-
1973 Sho~Bud Pro II (in '73)

Edwards light pedal>Gone, to get-
Emmons volume pedal (in '73)

Peavey Duece>Gone, to get-
Peavey Session 400 (in '75)

Fender Super Reverb>Gone on even trade for-
a mint MSA Classic SS (in '2001)

Thinking back, I have bought a few things...Numerous thumb picks, a couple of pairs of nickel National finger picks, 2 string winders, and a few strings. My largest purchase as of late has been a Profex II, mainly because I got it for $85.

I played through the same exact gear from about '82 to '96.
Then I got a job with internet access provided, discovered/joined the forum, learned about and went to my first convention, joined the buy/sell/trade twelve step program, and was diagnosed with "advanced copedant experimentatorship"!

Maybe bOb could start a new sement in the forum that is a support group for steel players with (GAS) or "Gear Acquisition Syndrome"

We need help!
