Strings and winds

I gotta admit that I'm not a very good player but playing guitar or bass guitar makes me happy. I've shot some pictures of my instruments. I've bought them through the years and all of them are second hand. There is a very important second hand musical instruments market where I live. 'Till the last cent I've spent on them has been worth. Life is too short to play with crappy instruments. It does not matter how good you are. What it matters is that if you drive a Ferrari Testarrosa, you won't drive it as if you were Fernando Alonso, but for sure, you'll notice and you'll enjoy the superb quality of the car.

This is my Gibson Les Paul SG Custom. I'll never sell it. She has given me tons of happiness, asking me nothing in exchange. This is by far, the best purchase I've ever made. I remember I sold almost every single piece of gear I had to go for this beauty

This is my Framus Tennessee. I bought it from a german retired man that used to spend several months a year in Gran Canaria, to scape from the cold german winter. When I caught it in my hands, I found that it's still had the ticket of the german store where he had bought it. It's got a very sweet tone

This is my Status Energy, a British made active five string bass guitar. I bought it from a guy in his twenties that, while we were walking toward his house, told me "I'm fed up of it, I want a Telecaster instead".

And finally, I guess this is my worst purchase but at the same time, the cheapest. It was in mint condition but playing trumpet is much more difficult than what I ever thought, so it remains lying in it's case.
