Is your rig worth more than your car?

I've never given a {censored} about my car except that it starts when I want it to, gets decent mileage, and requires little maintenance. I got a '92 Grand Marquis with only 78,000 miles for $1300 3 years ago. If you take the resale value of my rig vs the value of my car, it's probably a close call.

Well, I've had eight cars in ten years of driving, so... Yeah, I've put some money in there. Then again, my rig is pretty full of money too.

 

Currently, I have two iconic British cars (read: always broken down :cool:)...

One manly, one not :D

 

In my gigging rig, I use a HRD (nice and cheap), an R4 BB (not cheap at all), a Howard Roberts Fusion III (again, not cheap), and a pedalboard with about 2k in pedals... So I think I'm about tied :D Then again, my gigging rig never needs a new gas tank :mad:

I bought my 92 Accord 5 years ago for $3000. Sine then, I have spent probably 2-3 times that amount on gear. Unfortunatly, I traded most of it into GC so all I have to show for that is in my sig.

 

 

Ouch, that is highway robbery. I bet GC can't wait to see you again. I'm not saying you don't have nice gear, but it just doesn't seem to equate to $6-9000 worth. Damn resale value - they prolly turned a sweet profit once they relisted your stuff. I'm never selling any of my gear again.

I own a car, a truck, a minivan and a motorcycle. All of my stuff added together probably is worth more than any one of those...maybe more than all four added together. :o A typical rig though, as far as what I take to a gig, even the cheapest 4 wheeled vehicle is worth more. The motocycle is probably only worth about $1000, so yeah, I've got several guitars that are worth more than it by themselves.

What's your net worth?

 

 

Stick to the thread subject.

My "vehicles":

 

1966 Ford Fairlane (modded with a 428 CobraJet)

1998 Chevy Conversion Van

2001 GMC 14' Box Truck

2002 Jeep Liberty

2005 Mandalay Model 43 D 41' Motor Home

 

I'm not going to list my guitars; amps; fx and rack gear. It'll take all day.
