This is the same dilema that I see guitar collectors go through- they get something like a Zappa or Hendrix strat, and hang it on a wall somewhere. Personally, this arouses serious contempt in my heart (as a musician who has owned expensive and not so expensive bass guitars- a few of notoriety as well!), because these guitars, while being "famous" because someone famous played them, are still working instruments that could be played. In my books, the SHOULD be played. The musician should exercise care in the handing of said instruments. The value will remain provided that said musician doesn't treat a Hendrix strat the way Hendrix may have treated any number of strats throughout his career!

I am of the same opinion with hi-fi gear- I personally don't care if its NOS from 6 months ago or 40 years ago. I paid for it, so I will bloody well use the thing if I feel so inclined.

HOWEVER- if you bought it with the INTENT of investment, then store it someplace safe and wait...

It is really that simple!

Sorry about the rant using instruments as an analogy. It just causes the pit of my stomach to boil when someone pays an outrageous fortune for something (hi-fi, cars, instruments, etc.), and can never apprciate the beauty of the item because they are blinded by it's dollar value rather than the merit of said item...
