Sgt. Pepper Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I guess this is the current trend. Sell your gear and the rights to your music and spend it while you can. Joe B will be by to scoop up all the good stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 If you own too much stuff, it's hard to keep track of and protect and eventually it owns you. Good on Mark for wanting to downsize and keep the stuff he loves the most. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he is not on Dire Straits. Knopfler was estimated to have a fortune of £75 million in the Sunday Times Rich List of 2018, making him one of the 40 wealthiest people in the British music industry. Unless he blew through 75 million Pounds Sterling in 5 years. Edited November 24, 2023 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing there I need though… All the others that did it sold a lot of their stuff. There is always some one with enough money justify thinking they can sound like Mark by buying his guitar. I'm sure Jim Irsay will snag a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way back when I bought a Fender Strat thinking I could play like Jimi…… LOL! Then I bought a Les Paul thinking I could play like Page… Nope.. I kept on going adding more Guitars that would make me sound like the Guys I like.. As years went by I got better but didn’t master a lot the styles & technique’s of the colossal Guitarists I like.. I did acquire some awesome Guitars though! And I play pretty good.. But, mostly, I sound like me.. LOL! It has been fun though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
