Simply put: X+Y
X, being the current numer of instruments in your possesion.
Y, being the "next" instrument you intend to acquire.
Of course "X" is comprised of: "w", the number of working instruments plus "p", the number of potential instruments by parts.
Now "Y" can be further disected as Y=((b+c+d)/F)/A...
b is the next available instrument by sale or trade.
c is the next instrument you have already committed to but need to complete the transaction.
d is the default of borrowed instruments from another player.
F is the available funds.
A is the permissable amount of instruments and can be further disected into Spousal Permission, Living Space Available and is subject to the level of Accountability you have due to memory or denial.
X=(w+p) + Y=((b+c+d)/F)/A

Location: Chicago | I wrestle with this one all the time. My answer (HONEST): if you really play each one, really, once in a while or more that's good. Just to have dead guitarage hanging on the wall.... not so good. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | With lights on one circuit and amps on another, the hum is very manageable, almost unnoticeable. Biggest challenge is feedback from the mics. I have the levels all pre-set, but one of the lady singers uses a voice pedal and it can go crazy. Shutting off several of the PA speakers located behind the mics helps on the feedback, too. |
