The I promise I will not buy more gear-thread (HaRd MoDe 2017)

[el-bo (formerly ebow)]

Interesting the things you find in the feedback thread. Makes me all the more impressed how you guys are doing in this challenge!
Keep up the good work

If you saw that Feedback I left a while back let me explain, because it was actually quite impressive. He sent me a PM because he had uncontrollable GAS for housewares (!) I thought it was a bit kinky and told him to visit the Home & Garden blog. But he felt more safe “coming out” here at KVR with his fetish. I was impressed! We have a very accepting community! Because I happened to have an old set of Moka stovetop coffee makers I bought in Italy, I sold them. He was as happy as if I gave him my Minimoog! So don’t take my Feedback the wrong way-- ghettosynth just happens to get a boner from vintage housewares. It may be tough in his 'hood being a Houseware Homie but it's great that he feels safe doing it here. And like Trump, his failure can be his success: I'll bet he makes a mean mocha! (And most important, housewares don't count in HaRd Mode!)

I don't suppose anyone can blame him for his H.A.S, but it's a bit strange that he would be so careless. Why wouldn't he just ask you to not bother leaving feedback? I guess, like you mentioned, he wanted to be 'outed'

I don't like to see someone suffering. Hopefully he feels some relief now that the truth has come to light

Not yet. End of this month.

Hope everybody is happy. Stay strong, never worry about the critics.

Me: ok, I just picked up an SSD, new monitors, nice new synthesizer that can double as a better controller than I had, and the Slate subscription. My setup is complete. I need nothing else.

Also me: kclip2 for $25? Don't mind if I do.

And don't forget: the Summer sales are building, Omnisphere finally has a discount (EP only), AriesVerb is being developed again after being dormant for years, and via Facebook likes: Falcon 40% Off thru the 4th....

As it's father's day, I was thinking that if I'll let someone else buy me some gear as a present (the Waves sale is still going on), would this count?

[Michael L]

I would say it won't count, as long as they buy you gear that you don't actually want, like a "World's Greatest Synth Programmer" barbecue apron.
One of these neckties would definitely count, though:

Having a bit of GAS today. Surprised me. I can't see how IKM Miroslav II will improve my existence, nor a Taylor Academy guitar for 'the beach.'

But nope. Not gonna do it.

From what I gather, Miroslav 2 might not be improving anyone's existence And why you would need a better guitar than I have ever owned, in over 35 years of playing, just for the beach, is a clear sign of gas-induced perspective distortion.

Thank the gods for this thread...

lol re: Miro II.

I left one of my guitars in Ireland this last trip, so I wouldn't have to bother shipping it there again next year. So, I seem to be missing that 1 - of - 19 guitars so much, I want to buy a bottom-of-the-line Taylor.

As for the Miri.... heat wave is affecting my brain, apparently.
