I'll tell you this! He's semi-newly married and mostly likely doesn't have kids.

4100$ is still a lot of money, even with no kids!
Btw I almost asked you if I could pay for a Boneshaker and put in your address since they only ship to the lower 48.

Come at me bro! I'll do it. You want it, let me know quick!
Also, before I had kids, I had a cheap as fuck mortgage, no car payment and tons of money. I was making bank back in my early 20's. I could have easily dropped that on pedals but I didn't care about them at that time.

Thanks much apprec! Sadly, next month's gear money is almost as good as spent already. I say sadly. It's not sad at all
I guess you're right, maybe I should just get a job

I've been in sales most of my life. Found a good company and worked my way up to Sales Director an then up to VP of Operations. I do well but took a pay cut recently without cutting my gear purchases and now I need to slow down before I screw myself with credit card debt... I never said i was a smart man! Haha.. I'll be fine though. Most of what I'm purchasing is from selling other gear which luckily I have a lot of and that's my little savings account these days

so I'll still be buying more frequently than average but I think you all have already witnessed my peak ending with the Folktek.
...... until I go modular
It's like my mom always said "you only live once! Buy more Folktek!" That might not be verbatim but something like that.

Speaking of only living once...I bought this fucker within ten minutes of finding out about it this morning. Insanely impulsive purchase. Wish I looked into this brand earlier.

It's like my Dad used to say, "Son...one day you will need a pedal with 14 knobs"

Thanks man! A lot more like that on the way. That one was a bit old as well as the other singles I put out but I think I've crafted a sound and maaaaaaybe have enough tools to do it

I hated that pedal so damn much it's not even funny. LOL! Behndy let me try his and it was a super duper one. Killed every low I had.
I think most of his pedals are like that on bass unfortunatley.
It doesn't help that I hate Dub Step either.

The white noise envelope thing he has intrigued me as well. Wasn't wild about the demo so I plan to see what I can do with this vs his demo then maybe pick that one up. Agent Cooper as pedal art is always a plus.
