I don't currently have any physical instruments while I have had quite a collection and nice studio in the past.

I think it comes down to the fact that it is fun collecting gear and a lot easier than actually making music. Making music is really hard.

I also don't think it even cost me $2k when it was all said and done with all the gear I bought. So much of the gear held its value and one piece of gear I had I sold for 3x what I bought it for so that paid for so much depreciation on gear that didn't hold its value.

Some gear heads I know have money to burn but others just have their savings in gear instead of a savings account at the bank.
