Axe-Master
@lqdsnddist sure, there are more serious things in life, but I don’t discuss them on this forum (or forums in general). As far as my Axe-FX is concerned, the controller thing is as serious as it gets.
But, I would agree that using the word “depressing” was an overkill.
It’s quite easy to get pretty wrapped up in products and things in this modern age. Our economy likely depends upon it lol. No doubt internet, forums, daily status updates or lack there off, et al, only reinforces such behavior. Probably was a lot easier to wait years ago when it was more out of sight, out of mind. Maybe you’d get a summer issue of a catalog and that would be the first you even knew about a new product existed. Now we know about stuff before it’s released so waits seem to take “forever”.
That all said, and I’m certainly as guilty of feeling all this as much as anyone, we are pretty lucky if these are some of our biggest worries of the day.
I mean heck, if I miss a UPS delivery on Firday my day and weekend are shot. Having to go 48 hours without my newest toy.... soooo frustrating! Bothers me the whole time I’m not opening the box lol, BUT... when you step back and think about it, if the fact the worst part of my weekend is not playing with someone new 48hrs sooner, I’m doing pretty okay compared to lots of people.
I can sit in my home, stocked with food, play one of my countless guitars, through my expensive modeler which costs more than many peoples cars, if they are lucky enough to have a car, and still have a pretty good weekend. Maybe watch my big TV, surf the net on my phone or laptop or tablet etc.
I’ve (and I suppose I could say “we”) have so many luxuries around us that we take it all for granted and tend to focus only on what we don’t have, forgetting the countless things we do have.
