I would have because I wanted to play but would have expect some relief soon.
I am very reserved when it comes to buying band gear, as you all know, but was really itching to update my PA gear since we use my place and PA for rehearsal. My guitarist and I were both investigating/collaborating on a new system for the band and couldn't decide between powered cabs or traditional systems like mine. I'm more of a traditionalist so I just replaced my stuff with current technology with more power and lighter weight...awesome. Plus, I was able to convert my old system into a nice side fill monitor system if needed. Nothing went to waste, basically.
Today my guitarist informed me he ordered the powered system which he wants to use for gigging. I'm okay with that. He got the Peavey Dark Matter powered subs, mains and monitors. Wooohooo, we are set!
