What did your main instrument cost you?

What is the sense of purhasing a better and more expensive instrument and not amplifying said instrument the best way possible considering the available technology of the day?

That is an analogy that best describes the way I perceive the situation.

And, yes, the darn things put a big hit on the old fixed income.

One of the ways I rationalized it was to consider how many more thousands I've dropped on other PA systems and gear over the years.

Of course, one does not strictly have to go in this direction, there are plenty of less costly options available these days and there are many aaspects to the situation that each must evaluate and decide for themselves as to the cost/benefit analysis. One thing's darn certain: The intake from gigs these days certainly weighs in hard, darnit.
