Just venting but I think as guitarists and gear lovers we tend to invest the most into our bands. I'm completely willing to agree that its GAS and sometimes to much but at the same time while we tend to be on the far side of the spending spectrum I find that the rest of my band mates are on the complete other side of the spectrum and very cheap.
Do you guys experience this as well? I have a phenomenal vocalist who still uses a terrible wireless mic (i mean you have one instrument, your voice!). I suggested my keyboard player in one band pickup a small cheap sampler ($75) for sounds his old yamaha doesn't have and you'd think I had asked him to spend $1000 dollars or something. I have spent so much on PA gear too for bands I've been in. It just seems like us guitarists sometimes are the only ones who care about quality gear and having the right tools. Don't get me wrong the flip side is we spend to much most of the time but if my bandmates spent 5-10% of what I do they'd be fine.
