Because of my hoarding I still use HDDs. I may get to the point of deleting stuff I don't use to replace the stuff I rarely use. SSD to pricey for me once they go over the 1TB range. I may have to get a sata controller and duct tape.
I got the Century Brass bundle which adds another 100GB.
This is tempting. I really don't have space for any more libraries unless I start deleting those in Komplete or spread Kontakt libraries across multiple drives.
I have too many synths, I have all of the popular ones and and Arturia. I hate the whole Korg online eco system, I get 5 installs with Arturia and like their eco system.

We also have this.

I've only been in there once. If I wanted to spend a lot of money on a bass that would be the place to go.
I'm finding that hard to believe. What make, model, and year?
I miss the older smaller trucks like the S10, Ranger. I have a 99 Sonoma with 250K miles. Once you go truck it's hard to go back to a car.
Your post verges on the no politics allowed. Fuel prices do raise the price of everything. I do wonder about the sales of instruments in general. We have a everything easy no work necessary culture and it's less hassle to buy some earbuds and listen to stuff on a phone. Some musicians like to blame it on DAWs but even that takes a lot of time and financial investment. I think we have become lazy.
Were I live it's more evident in the wind instrument world.
I guess Gibson has improved in their quality control.
I remember their SUB series which was an affordable MIA line they had to drop because of costs. I did score a reduced SUB 5 bass for $500 over 10 years ago. These might be collector items. It's like wearing a railroad tie.
That didn't happen to me. The installer will have replace or now folder. It's a bloated DAW anyway. I learned not to use any large folders in the browser since it will increase the sise of the db file
