Hey Fractal Dudes,
I know this has been hashed and rehashed, no pun intended, but I am scared to death to take the plunge, but I really do not have a choice. I have been playing 30+ years and am now disabled with serious back issues. FUBAR, anyway nuff about that. I tried to gig with a band last year but due to pain etc.. could not continue. Because I left, the band broke up, I feel terrible still, and I really wanted to do it. So..... I have 3 kids to support on disability, and my daughter has downs syndrome and autism, my sons are great, thank god. Needless to say I'm on a serious budget. The good part is I have a shit ton of gear that just sits, I have Marshall heads and a full rack, 12+ guitars, etc.. that I can't obviously move around, let alone gig with, so I REALLY want an axe-fx II. I would like to know how some of you guys were able to move your old gear or finance it etc..???? I wish someone could come over and take all my crap and give me an axe-II, lol. I have a hard time asking for help and feel guilty about wanting to spend that kind of coin on a rig, but guitar is all I have left for myself, and really want to have an axe II before I die. If anyone out there can help or share some advice i would greatly appreciate it. I have been trying to finish a solo album FOREVER, but never happy with my tone, and will NOT compromise just to get it out. I guess I need reassurance that this is the right thing to do. Thank You in advance to all, and will keep pushing for a solution. Cheers!
