Yeah, but he forgot to mention that one guitar was a rare JP 7 string that has an original printing from picasso etched onto the body... and it cost him $25k.

eh, I'm fed up with gear. i can't afford good stuff, with the exception of my two jems, so I spend an ungodly amount of time trying to get mediocre stuff sounding good.

I've actually been known to spend days preparing and tweaking my gear to record guitar parts.

The only thing I like is the bass (yes, not even the violin), and it's not even that good. Of course, I am 15 years old with the first work I've ever had in my life (pit orchestra). Man I need a job.

I'm about to spend probably another 600-800 on more stuff in the next couple of weeks too. Gonna get me a wireless an attanuator and some pickups.

I think I have between $1,600 and $1,700 worth of gear. Not a whole lot.

[Given to Fly]

Well if I just count the stuff I use it comes out around $3000. That's two UV's and a Carvin Legacy (and a Bad Horsie occasionally). Then there is all the stuff I'm trying to sell or don't use, that comes out around $2500. I have many regrets throughout my guitar shopping, but I believe I have gained some wisdom when purchasing stuff. I try to no longer buy things just because they would be cool, or they look like good deals. Practicality is what I go for now. Also collecting with UV's but that will take awhile. I may look into a Parker next. Anyways, I have spent too much money.

[VanWyck]

My gear cost less than my education, and less than my condo, but cost more than my Mercedes.

50th Ann. Am.Dlx. Strat w/case $1200

Being that I'm newly married and wish to by a house in the next few years(big enough so the guitars have their own room) I have to agree. Fortunately most of my massive spending was done while I was working for a music store prior to my engagement.

I'd say I've spent enough on gear over the years to make me appear financially better off than I really am. That's all I'm willing to disclose at this time. I will say I have been able to get some ridiculous deals on certain items (yes it was all legal!).

I play four differnt instruments, so I spend alot more on music than on guitar stuff, in fact, I have only spent about $1600ca on guitar gear ($1500 Guitar, $100 distortion) other than that, on a bass and bass amp and drums I've spent a good $3500 on everything, including a primitive recording studio.

Well, I think it's a good time to bump my old thread....A few updates have probably happened all around for everyone, so if your already in this thread, then update, if not, then tell us anyway!

Alright, I went from $2100..to about $4000. Thats not too bad for almost a year later I guess I bought a new 6 string bass, upgraded to a rack system and a cab, along with a new wah and other stuff. You?
