First - When asked by clarinet players how they could become as good as he was, Artie Shaw has been quoted as saying that they should practice 10 hours per day, like he did; i.e., there is no substitute for effective practice time. I think GBK posted a good practice routine some years ago, which can probably be found on this site.
Second - Advice given to me by a professional musician: When playing in a group, listen to what others are doing. When you hear something that is of particular interest, ask the person who played it how it was done so that you can learn continually from others.
Third - Don't become obsessed with equipment.
