Frivolous / impulsive buyer 100% here. About 50 synths/fx bought on a whim between 2019 and 2021, most with very little research. Just things I stumbled upon and thought were interesting and happened to found for a decent price 2nd hand. Now on NGNY.
If there was one good thing about impulsively buying stuff however, it helped me figure out what worked for me and what didn’t. Everything I have now gets used regularly and makes sense for me. And as I bought everything 2nd hand I didn’t really lose any money when I sold it.
As you can see I’m still as good as ever at coming up with excuses for buying gear even when I’m not actually buying gear. If I get through 2022 without buying anything I’m gonna set up a poll for what I should buy on 1/1/2023.
