How much gear did you have in high school?

[Motavis]

I am learning stuff* but certainly keeps me busy.

Sorry, but that name's been copyrighted, so if you'll be so kind as to drop $.05 in the mail, that will keep my lawyer off your back.

Man am I F*cking slow... that took me a minute to figure it out haha

For a minute I thought you meant my name Motavis hehe.

[Shanesaw]

I had a PSR-36. Before high school = Casio SK-1.

[Mr Rich]

I had a Rogue when I was in high school. In fact, it belonged to the school, but I nicked it.

Synths gained through more reputable means at the time included: Juno60, Poly800, PolySix and OB-8*

*for OB-8, don't read expensive collectors item that must have cost a stack, instead read outdated heap of junk, bought for a pittance because no one wanted them at the time.

It's true though. I bought quite a few (now) valuable synths at a time when they were selling for peanuts and they were all I could afford.

[Pete]

I had turntables, a mixer, a bass, and an MPC2000xl.

pretty much if I sold my fender and bought a bunch of gear with it you guys would definately be allowed to make fun of me for having too much gear. As it is I guess you can just settle for what some around here do and make fun of me for playing 4 different instruments instead of focusing solely on one like most of the "rock" crowd does.

who is making fun of you...? if i sold my guitars i'd be able to have quite a few more synths too. what's your fender?

Even when I wasn't using electronics...I was trying to play drums, guitar,, singing, and bass... even tried a mandolin at one point. I've never wanted to be a virtuoso...I have just wanted to make complete songs by myself. Getting my first drum machine changed everything though...It made me start rapping as well.

i'm in the same boat. i want to be able to play a bit on everything, which is why i became interested in synths to begin with, as i started as a guitarist.

[MitchK1989]

I started as a bassist, but frankly, picking up guitar, drums, and synth has helped my bass playing immensely. Multi-instrumentalists kick a*s.

i find learning new instruments improves my ability to play on other instruments. it just changes the way i look at the music and composition. even learning to dance helps with rhythm and drumming.

Learning to dance is what changed my bass playing from heavy metal riffing to lovely dance beats. It's what made me not suck at drums too.
