Once again, my friends, it's time for Gear Stories!

If you're just joining us, there are two basic principles.

2. I start with something in an easily attainable price point, and then secondly write about something more "High End" ... and as a special treat this month, there's an added bonus at the end, guaranteed to make you smile if you are a total music geek!

Hello again, my friends! Time again for Gear Stories...

As always, If you don't want to get it, don't get mad, ...get communicative and tell me... (as a slogan, that needs work.)

Gear Stories 5, My favorite amp, and the keyboard that didn't feel well...apparently

Hey everybody! Time again for Gear stories! And what are the two basic rules of Gear stories?

1. If you don't like it, don't get mad, just tell me not to send it to you!
2. I always start with an item that is on the more affordable side, and end with a higher end item that stands as an example of what we can all dream for!

Gear Stories One

Gear stories!

Welcome to the first edition of Gear Stories! Henceforth, I shall endeavor to provide you with a short, anecdotal account of two or three items from our inventory that are special to me. I'll keep it brief, and hopefully as entertaining as it is informative. I'll try to hit something really high end as well as something that guys like ME can afford in each issue.
