I need an URGENT advice!
Are the push-buttons on the normal Levi's sherpa-jackets recommendable, yes or not??
Snaps?

Sorry to say that but I also only got one acoustic guitar. It's a custom-made piece. Small but deep body. So it's quite loud and bassy for a small guitar:
You sound like my son.Variety is the spice of life!
Before i leave for a gig i think of my set list, think of my mood and choose which bass i will play that night.
Yes i could play it all with my P bass and be the guy who played the same instrument his whole career, but i don't see the fun in this.
Same thing with leather jackets. Where am i going, what am i doing, what is my mood, it all influences what jacket i wear.
I agree that it can become expensive, but IMO as long as you can afford it, aren't starving your family or selling your kidneys to buy leather then go for it.
Life is too short not to spice it up.
I think the comparison between instruments and leather jackets is quite good actually.
Through my years of playing i have noticed that you find two kind of people, the ones that have one instrument, or maybe a number 1 and a backup, but they mostly use the one for everything.
This isn't usually a question of money, it's just that they prefer to be very close to one instrument rather than share their time between many.
The other kind of people usually suffers from massive GAS, try everything under the sun, and usually end up unable to settle on a single one.
You see the same thing with guns, knives, shoes pretty much everything. Some people want choice, some want the reassurance of having only one and knowing it like the back of their hand!
IMO if you are in the first group of people you will really struggle to find "the one" because there is always something new and exciting coming up.
I love the idea of having only 1 bass, and have it all beat up after 50 years of being my only one, I love the idea of wearing the same jacket for a decade and have it perfectly broken in and having that patina we all envy.
But i love being able to choose what i want to play or wear everyday more.
I also think that there's a difference between acoustic instruments like Celli and acoustic guitars because they vibrate more with you. I also have three electric guitars, a Tele, an SG and a semi-acoustic. But I haven't played electric in years.
I've grown attached to my acoustic in a way that I've never been attached to the electrics that I've ever had. It's just a different kind of bond.
With the electric there are many more important factors like the amp and effects and more, I think.
My son is a Fender guy. Oddly, they just got invited to the LA Gibson showroom for a promotion (using their band) and they still are sticking with the Fenders and Gretch's. The Highway One Tele I had made for him at Manny's in NY some years back. The Strat he got when he traded his Highway One J-Bass I bought him when he thought he wanted to play bass. I've still got a '69 Les Paul (gold & black) back home at my Mom's. Never had the skill, even after trying for years.
If I had been able to make a living at music, I'd be a happy camper! So jackets will have to do. And cars. And motorcycles.

My method: Promise yourself that you will sell off a few others to accommodate the new one. Then "try" to sell them - but don't try too hard. Eventually like most promises you will forget all about it.

Switch to hats...you can get 3-10 hats (maybe more) for the price of a leather jacket.I need more reasons and logic fellas...I'm losing ground fast!
Noooooo!!!!!!Hand the cash and card over to the missus.
