Interesting timing, I've just promised myself not to buy anything (other than strings, picks, etc) for 3 months! I've spent gobbs of cash this year so far and enough is enough!

some of the deals I'll be missing out on:

ik's t racks singles
kompletly insane
psp nitro
some great prices from newegg on computer parts upgrades
ack, others I can't remember.......

anyways good luck to me and all who are on the downsize!

(and the marketplace should be gracing my presence shortly

)

I need to do that as well!

A large pack off "Free Time (TM)" , so I can enjoy all the gear I already have.

I'm dealing with v1 of free time and it's as buggy as hell. I think it has something to do with interrupts!

I do feel ya though. I honestly am on the verge of a tantrum because I'm getting dragged away to Las Vegas this weekend (Missus going for business and tacking on pleasure pre work). Of course I know I'll have fun, but at the expense of separation anxiety from being away from my precious... my precious...

I don't promise, or feel bad, but I found that after a multi year frenzy where software "ate" my hardware, I've calmed down quite a bit but I keep myself on a budget. So I can't afford something like Synthsquad on a month's funds so I'll have time to evaluate it and if the luster hasn't worn off by the time I've saved enough for it, I'll get it for sure. So, I consider myself a functioning gearaholic.

Well, I've just broken my promise - the Fabfilter $99 deal nailed it I'm afraid. I lasted a whole 8 days, which may be a record, considering my previous attempts

What's wrong with gear? (besides a little starvation...bah, the kids can handle it!)

I'm pretty much ok with what I have right now. I'll probably get a nice sounding ethnic instrument, a good mic to record it, new soundcard and later on ONE analog synth, and I'll be done (I hope)

Nitro should be the exception that prooves the rule

This is a good idea for a thread.

I used to buy stuff on credit but now I just don't buy something unless I can pay for it now.

I'm right up against my overdraft limit now so i have no choice but to stop buying stuff no matter how good the deal

I swear that FabFilter bundle is the last one for the foreseeable future!
I must stay off this damn interweb thing..

I was able to resist Komplete 5 for $334 and the t-racks deal but the fab filter I could not, I didn't even try. But I did not use credit, yay me

Resistance is futile

Looks like the deals over anyhoo.I couldnt find it anymore but they do have this http://www.audiomidi.com/PSP-EffectsPac ... 12392.aspx

Damn. Looks like my $10 purchase might actually turn out to be $260 purchase.

bambooman · Post by **bambooman** » Sat Jul 18, 2009 11:41 am

ok my last purchase this year will be:

1x blu-ray bd-r drive
1x Akai LPK25
1x 10x pack of BD-R's
1x blu-ray movie
1x 250GB harddrive

so, after that.. i promise not to buy anything for the rest of 2009,
and i mean really nothing not even a sheet of paper

Cannot now, something has to be replaced and so no cash for toys for a very long time.

Except for kit synth which is already here, try building the box ...mmmmmmm....

Well, I just bought another mandolin last night...

I have had an epiphone for the last 18 years, great for studio work but clumsy for gigs. I had an Aira [sic] one for a while, which was fab for gigs - loud, wider fretboard, etc - but alas the neck came away from the body. Been a one-mandolin man for over 10 years and have a gig next sat'dy where I'm only playing mando: so I needed a new one

I bought a Stagg job, with pickup already installed (no need for the old piezo bug!), £89.99. Sounds great! We're doing a bluegrass 'Forever Autumn' and I'm playing the lead lines.

When I Canada I found a guitar that I love, and have spent the last week trying to find an equiv in the UK. Nothing's turning up, and the guitars that come closest are 5->10x the price. I'm considering getting my friends to buy it, along with a case. Guitar, case and postage will be cheaper than walking into a shop in the UK for something remotely similar!

But after that, I'm taking the pledge

I pledge that I wont buy no more this month.

The I promise I will not buy more gear-thread
