My life is about to change with the birth of my first kid and I am loosing the newly accured spare room/studio to a nursery. I have little space left so I was going to sell my gear and pay off my student overdraft (not the TI still paying for that) but when I saw the prices on ebay I choked, girlfriend found out and shook her head and said not to sell, just store the stuff and when I get a chance floor our loft (massive) So Luckily I have just avoided the biggest mistake I'd make other than having sex that morning that is
I am really crap at making tunes that others can listen to but I can play my hardware and block out the rest of my life for as long as I want, btu I understand that you may be looking to change things so good luck, fortunately I have been there and know what it's like luckily I got a chance at redundancy and got a payoff so took it and came out of my crap life, went to uni had fun done what I wanted and now finally have a challenging job and a home life that is growing my the minute. All the best and keep us posted.
