I "accidentally" won another expensive guitar on eBay (damn you bidnapper!) so these are back up for sale :
Boxed Live Suite 8 (includes session drums and EIC). This is the EDU version and Ableton ask for proof so students / faculty only can buy this. $399 including shipping and Paypal in the US, $425 everywhere else.
Komplete 6 boxed (full version) : SOLD
PM me if you want to save my marriage.
Thanks
D.

You need a strategy. I find my partners powers of discrimination are not very good when it comes to guitars so I do things like:
- Put them all in very similar gig bags so they all look the same
- Following on, I only have one out on a stand at a time
- I only buy guitars off ebay if I can collect. This has two advantages. First, if they are grossly mis-described I could just say no. Second, I can arrange to bring them home when the gf is not at home
- The guitars I put on a box so they come up to the same hight as the basses
- Put one or two in the wardrobe so they aren't all together
This combination has allowed me to sneak a few in un-noticed.
Anyway, good luck

Nope. She is very generous and tolerates my GAS addiction. Which is why I feel so bad about getting a little bit smashed and leaving a bid on a flash guitar.

It's the noughties equivalent of getting drunk with your credit card to hand.

+1, if women are getting in the way of music then get rid of them, keep em on the side for one thing in the meantime...

The last time I bought a (used) purple satin smoking jacket. I really need to stay away from the computer when drinking wine.

That's about the best tips and tricks I've ever read on this forum.
Make it a sticky.
Thanks for that littlepig
