I tend to agree with the comments on being careful. 8 years ago I moved from my house way down in a southern state up north to the warmth a sun. (In Australia we go north to get warmth). I was moving into a unit with much less storage space. I gave away nearly all my gear thinking I would be out of music completely.

I kept my two guitars a Tele and Maton and a MIDI Keyboard leaving a Precision Bass, Rickenbaker 12 String and a banjo with my daughter. Amps, pedals, stands, leads, laptop and other assorted bits I gave away. Well my music career was over I’m retired with hands closing up, moving to where I’m not known. What do I need with gear.

I arrived, moved into the unit went out to a function and was asked are you ready to come out and play, we were awaiting your arrival. Because these days I do what I do solo and use tracks created basically in BIAB as backing I had to get a suitable PA, I needed something for pedals and a better laptop, new audio interface. Well the upshot is I had to buy a heap of stuff similar to what I gave away albeit updated. 8 years later I still do the odd show, spend most of my time fooling about with guitars, generating music and still enjoying myself.

In the the medium term hang on to what you can would be my thought. Looking at your posts over a long time you really seem to enjoy your music and your discussion on the topics. Don’t get out of it.
