Ugly Ducklings

i love the beat looking gear, saves me money

I always tell people looking for used instruments to ALWAYS play the beat up and dinged up ones. Those are the ones that someone chose to play. A used, old instrument in perfect shape, generally, wasn't inspiring.

I’m okay with ones that have some play in them, but then I come across some that look like they’ve been dropped repeatedly/willfully destroyed...which I don’t get...at least when I look at equipment that was expensive when it was new. But a few dings and scuffs don’t bother me. Those instruments hurt less when I accidentally add my own dings to it.

The first ding in a new instrument SUCKS. Its nice when they already have some.

yeah i don't buy any gear new. i save the sticker devaluation for someone else. even mic cables i buy used, everything is cheaper that way and for a guy recording at home, those 10 bucks saved add up quickly.

All those little black rectangles look suspiciously like the stickers you'd put over the write-protect notch on a 5-1/4" floppy disk.
