I have played continuously since 1979. You people must know something I don’t. I have two fender electrics, a squier which I love and a mid 70’s tele not so much (it used to be great but it’s sat in a case for too long. Also an old school Newporter which is my daily driver.
I also have several other acoustics, mandolins, one uke which was an embarasing present…
I have a solid state AC30 moulding away in an outbuilding. During the first lockdown I bought a Vox cambridge 50. It’s more than adequate for any rehearsal or small gig that is possible now, unless you’re a ‘shredder’ which I personally consider to be viewing music as a sport, and therefore irrelevant.
I have been doing an online collaboration with a musician who plays on at least a dozen albums that I own, each of which has subtleties that new gear gear cannot provide.
