Anyone else out of favour with the gear gods?

[Luckystrike]

Sorry, it's a straight up moan

 

In the last 3 weeks I've managed to snap a string while restringing, have a machine head strip while restringing, kill the input jack on my main combo, kill the volume pot on my practice amp,  and then today I spent 2 hours in a rehearsal studio chasing a volume drop around my pedal board before finally realising that the pickup on my P bass has given up the ghost. That's more total carnage than I've experienced in the last decade!

Was I a drummer in a previous life? Is anyone having a particularly good run of luck with their gear and fancy sending some my way?

I questioned whether you might have been a guitarist in a former life??

Then I realised that the above are nowhere near enough punishment for that most hideous of crimes...

No need to apologise.

Not meaning to take the weewee but with your screen name your situation is particularly ironic.  Better luck next week mate.

Careful,we're a sensitive lot...

Appreciating the sympathy - I'm going to assume that this is 15 years of fortune stacked up ha ha.

On the plus side, nothing's broken today! (I've not touched anything just to make double sure)

Maybe it's a sign that I should go out and buy new gear? I think that's the safest way to interpret everything.

GAS needs no excuse.  Fill your boots chap.

You may have overlooked the current trend for wonky things.
