Hi Joe,
I too had a fall, broke my femur,ankle etc, etc.
While recuperating, the wife narked me once too often about a system I had loved for 20 years. Bought new stuff more appealing to her - it was naff. 3 years on crutches meant I had LOTS of time to upgrade !
3 years & 6 operations later, a change from an ariel rigger to a manager (talk about out of the frying pan) I just buy what the hell I fancy and thank the lord I'm still here to enjoy 'my toys' as she calls them.
Redundancy has meant that moving some 'toys' is the only thing that pays the bills.
I now tend to think that tweaking/isolation/ getting the power right etc is a must - I've had the time and if all our rigs were given the conditions to sound their best, there would be a lot less upgrading & a lot of unhappy dealers.
Just getting into the joys of tube rolling - if she thought I was anal before, she now just thinks I'm plain crazy!
Si
