For some people when succes arrives, some tend to get Ferraris, Porsches, Mantions, Yachts, girls, alcohol, Jewels, Rolex, Channel, Hugo Boss, Audemars Peaugets, some put all his money on the bank, etc, etc.

In my case, I invest my money and my heart in just 3 things: My wife, my familiy and my gear.
I always prefer to have my money invested in something that produce me happiness and also sometimes is an investment for the future. I know, maybe, those Adats from 1994 costs anything today, but they help me make the next step in my carreer ( I hate ADATS BTW).

At the same time, that 63' Red Dakota Fender Strat, is an invest that produce the most beautiful guitar tones and it's price increase every year.

So this is my pasion, and it is paying dividends, every single peace of my studio gets me back 3 or 4 times in work and money what I invest in them, also, it could be sad if you got all this just to presume it here in GS, but in my case, I have the fortune to use all this investment in every single production that I have, its satisfactory to have 4 singles in the top 10 in Mexico or a Number one Album and #1 single on Billboard, or close the year with 10 top ten albums, and a lot of grammy nominations with artist in the same category produced by you!! With all those record sales, you must making something right. So... my Power bill is high? YES... but the results and satisfaction too!!!
