Thinking about it, it would probably be easier for you to publish your address and we'll all just send you all our gear. That way you wouldn't even have to get off your lazy arse and nick it. I'll post my addy...all the good stuff is at my studio. You want the addy for that too?Its in a bad part of town so...Its surrounded by a 10ft tall fense topped with barbed wire.You need a key card to get through that fence. you need another one to get in the buildingthen you need 2 more keys to get into each individual studioplus there is a closed circuit camera system that watches everything. Inside and out. Im not gonna mention the ex-con security gaurd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members leopardstar Posted May 15, 2006 Members Share Posted May 15, 2006 Originally posted by guitarlady I am not laughing at your equipment. Back in the 80's all I had was the ES-330 that my aunt gave me as a present and my uncles old '50's Motorola hi-fi that I converted into a guitar amp. So now everyone can laugh at me for having such a crummy amp. thats funny my first amp in the 1970's was an old hi-fi amp that i converted to a guitar amp( i say converted what i mean is i took it out of stero it was in and added a 1/4" jack to replace the old rca jack and then hooked it up to a speaker)oh yeah whats it all worth today ummmm maybe $10,000+ including two guitars a roland recording studio a {censored} load of mic'spedals, effects, a pa,cords,straps, goobly gook, and a yamaha acoustic hmmmm seems like there should be more? oh yeah my amps got four of those, a 1978 marshall 100watt half stack, a 2/12 marshall vavlestate combo, a lab sereis L-3 60 watt, and a kick ass 10 watt 3 volume no name practice amp:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members geek_usa Posted May 15, 2006 Members Share Posted May 15, 2006 Originally posted by voneville I calculated $837 and that's 4 guitars, a bass, a 2-12 combo, a 5 watt tube head, and a distortion pedal. That's not very much for that amount of gear. You figure this -5 watt tube head (epi junior?) - $100Dist. Pedal - $50(halfway decent) 2x12 combo - $350that leaves $337 for four guitars and a bass, that averages about $65 per guitar/bass or so... not knocking your gear, but i would definitely sell off your four guitars and get a decent one (but if you enjoy all of them that's totally cool). I'm going to be selling off all my less-than-$300 guitars and investing in some more expensive axes - that way i have 2 or 3 very good guitars, and not 7 or 8 mediocre ones. that being said,Fender MIM Strat - $250 + new pups/strap locks/string changes = $350Fender 70s Strat - $425 + strap/locks/string changes = $450Fender 50s Tele - $825 + strap/locks/string changes = $850Fender Toronado - $395 + strap/locks/string changes = $420Agile Les Paul Double Cut - $275 + strap locks/string changes = $300Morris Flying V Copy - $125Art&Lutherie Wild Cherry - $300Roland Micro Cube - $120Carvin X-100B head - $300Crate 4x12 Cab w/Celestions - $150Various effects pedals i don't care to list - $325GRAND TOTAL = $4,000 i only thought i had $2k or so.

Members 2manband Posted May 15, 2006 Members Share Posted May 15, 2006 I'd estimate $5,000 to $7,000 - 2 electric guitars, 2 basses, 3 acoustics, 5 amps (3 of them tube), 2 multi FX boards, pedals, 16 tr digital multitracker, 8 rack spaces worth of stuff, computer upgrades for recording, cables, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brian Krashpad Posted May 15, 2006 Members Share Posted May 15, 2006 A little over $4700 in guitars, basses and other instruments, by my reckoning. But that includes some that go back about 25 years.A little over $1600 in amps, excluding PA gear. I think I've probably spent around $600 on PA stuff.So grand total about $5900 USD. Again, though, some of this gear I've had for the better part of 20 years. And they were all good deals, of course-- there's 15 electric guitars, a couple basses, 5 acoustic instruments, 3 all-tube big guitar rigs, a vintage Kustom big guitar rig, 3 bass rigs, a guitar practice amp, a spare 2x12 cab with Celestions, a pair of PA mains, a pair of PA monitors, a PA head, and a couple PA boards in that total.And I left out pedals, mics, stands, cords, and my Farfisa.BK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members -=Pennywise=- Posted May 15, 2006 Members Share Posted May 15, 2006 Been playing for 16 years, over that time up until now I probably spent about $14,000 on gear. Currently...... down to a $600 Epi, a $300 DG-Stomp, and a Crybaby wah I got for free which I modded the {censored} out of, and I think I sound fine for what I do.

Much of this gear was only purchased in part by me, the rest being compensated by my parents as birthday and christmas presents. Guitars are really all I want. But damn.

It was meant to amuse. Thank you. The second paragraph holds some clues as to the ironic nature of the post. Flying to England would be a mistake.

Actually I paid $250 for my peavey classic, and you were spot on for the tube head. I do a lot of wheeling and dealing, but yea, all of my guitars are in the $200 dollar ballpark retail with the exception of my bass (sx) and acoustic. I used to own really expensive high end gear and then I joined the navy and sold it all off to pay off my car before I left for bootcamp (in 98). After bootcamp I bought an Affinity Tele for $100 bucks and played the hell out of it for 6 years. I bought a Gibson a year or so ago, but I liked playing my Tele more so I sold it. I totally satisfied with Squiers. I make descent money and could afford more expensive guitars if I wanted them. I do need a better amp though, my peavey is 26 years old and needs some work. My drummer plays guitar so I use his amp at practice. When we start gigging I'll probably pick up a twin or a deville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
