Members petejt Posted January 15, 2009 Members Share Posted January 15, 2009 Watching Jamie Oliver's Naked Chef gave me an idea. As well as the current economic crisis . And I'd like to see the responses I get in this forum too, hence the repost. If you had to sell of your musical equipment, particularly your guitar rig, say due to the recession, need money for something, bail.............whatever... Basically, what would you keep? What pieces of equipment would remain that form the backbone of what you use to create music? Or put it another way- you're doing a small gig and space is limited, both transport and on the stage. Out of all the gear you own, what would you use for that gig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Marc G Posted January 15, 2009 Members Share Posted January 15, 2009 hmmmmm..... good question...... I guess bare essentials for me would be my Tiny Terror and 2x12, some sort of OD and a Fuzz and my SG Classic. Everything after that is just gravy really.....

Members Crxsh Posted January 15, 2009 Members Share Posted January 15, 2009 If I absolutely had to..... I'd sell pretty much everything but my Les Paul and my Mesa. Then I'd probably buy a DD-7 and a cheap tuner and call it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Shodan Posted January 15, 2009 Members Share Posted January 15, 2009 Could probably get by with just my Parker, Marshall JVM, Boss TU2, and my Bad Monkey. Certain stuff just wouldnt be the same without my flanger or wah though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Stubacca Posted January 15, 2009 Members Share Posted January 15, 2009 Stu...... you need the awesome power of the Whammy I in your rig ATALLTIMES!!!Revise & resubmit. This is true! When I typed that I was shivering with fright that my two main-stays were not included... the VB-2 and the Whammy 1. If I had to go smaller my rig would be Tuner / Whammy 1 / VB-2 / Skreddy Echo, but in the spirit of the question... hard times and all the VB-2 and Whammy would get some cash my way and if I had too, I could just use the amp with delay.
