My needs, and level of playing, don't justify the upgrades but this is a hobby I enjoy. There are a lot of ways to spend time and money on hobbies, and I figure it's enjoying it and not justifying it.

Hey ChuckS,
I may just have to incorporate your wise saying into my stock of wise sayings. "
I figure it's enjoying it, and not justifying it"
Or maybe simplify it a tiny bit...." I'm enjoying it, not justifying it" yep, I think that will become my new wise saying. Thanks ChuckS...I like it!
My main wise saying is a modified version of the prolific Rolling Stones song,
" You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometime you find
You get what you need"
Well I modified that a tiny bit...
"
Sometimes what you think you want, is not what you really need"
As I gain my recording ears...this has run so true. At first, I might like one kind of sound because the notes jump out at me. Then later I realize that longterm..the notes that are exaggerated...& long term tend to grind into me.
Smooth, Even,( which sometimes at first might be called = a bit boring)...is really what I need.
