How much did your collection cost

[tino]

[quote name='tino' post='934039' date='Aug 23 2010, 07:11 PM']I would imagine the sum total of all was in the region of £12...................................
I have arrived at this figure because my wife is overlooking me[/quote]
I base my findings thus
Gretsch G 6072 £1
Fender USA P £1
Fender Jaz £1
Fender Jag £1
Ibanez 74 RC £0.50p
obviously the other 20+ must have been less than 50p each................DEAR!
Oh and the amps were courtesy of the fairies

[thodrik]

Fender 1978 P bass - £390 (a steal)
Sadowsky Metro MV 4 - £1500 (not a steal!)
Viger Excess - £1200 (think they are going for £2000 now, so thats okay)
Gibson 1974 EB3 - £750 (I think that it is worth a bit more now, but nothing major)

£3840 then, add in my guitar and its around £4400. Adding in my Double Bass as well puts it at around £8400!

I don't want to start considering amps now.

[bubinga5]

Sadowsky £1700
Fender 75 RI £1300
Fender 62 RI £400
Yamaha TRBii £700
Sei J £1000
Stingray 5 £850
Ostinato £700
Fender 24 £600
Elrick £400
Jack Read £800
Fender CS £1200
Lakland 5501 £500


over 10K scary....

[Doctor J]

It's an absurd figure, I won't even try to count it. Then again, I once went on a bender for about four years and, whenever I think about how much that cost me, I don't feel so bad about the instruments

[Clarky]

Not including FS '75 Jazz, its between £5-6k for me

I don't feel bad about it given how much Mrs C has spent on shoes and handbags

[G-77]

about 11k + 2k in guitars

[The Burpster]

mine is not TOO absured but it would be if I had to replace them..........

[velvetkevorkian]

About £1k for my bass guitars only; about £3k including the upright.

[luckman67]

It's amazing how much we all seem to have invested in our hobby / love of the bass guitar. When I first started to learn the bass guitar (23 years later & still learning) my first bass was a Marlin Sidewinder KB24,which cost secondhand £89 I thought that was expensive.

[molan]

All I'm prepared to say is that if I sold all of my basses I could clear my mortgage - thinking about it this way makes me feel like they are an investment & not a cost, lol

[luckman67]

This has turned out to be a good thread,I love the humour in some of the answers. Luckily for me my girlfriend has her own laptop & does not know what bass forums I visit (I hope).

[funkypenguin]

To replace all my gear, brand new...would be around the £2000 - £3000 mark including amps and effects

I dread to think what some of the collections on here (Cetera and Doctor of the Bass, for example) would set one back!

[Larmer]

Let me think..

Basses:
Ibanez GWB-2 - 1200€
Kubicki Ex-Factor - 1200€

Guitars:
Steinberger GM4S - 1000€
Roter 8-string Fanned Fret - 520€

Amps:
Ashdown 300w bass combo - 300€
Micro Cube guitar - 100€

Misc:
Phat Thomann Ukulele - 20€
Hohner Alto Melodica - 80€
Yamaha 211S Flute - 200€
1983 Czech made double bass - (inherited this from my father, but I'd say the market value is anywhere between 800-1500€)
Line6 Toneport UX1 - 50€
Boss HM-2 pedal - 40-50€

To replace the 3 I have atm..... ?? north of £8000

Are you quite sure...........?

Well thats the value of what I have (Alleva £2.6k, 72P £1.8k, Alembic £1.2k, CIJ P £300-ish)

Its not the value of what I have traded, thats for sure

[parker_muse]

MIM Precision: 380
CMI Rickenfaker: 130
Vintage Stingray Copy: 110
Peavey 2x10: £120
Alien Audio 1x15: 100
Ashdown Superfly: 170

= £810. Not bad for a biggish set up on a budget!

[Truckstop]

Yamaha RBXJM1 - £400
Washburn XB600 - £275 (ebay steal!)
GK 400RB-IV - £350
Cabs and Sub - £350
Master Blaster - £129
PedalTrain, ODB-3 and Tuner - £180

=£1684!

And that is literally all i've ever bought apart from my first bass and practice amp which were gifts from my parents. And my Stagg which was also a gift!

Truckstop

[Bloodaxe]

I'll play...

TSB-400 - £120 + Kahler (£180) = £300
RSB-5 - £160
RSB Special - £50
ZZB Deluxe - £380
SB-900 - £350
SB-1000 - £250 but with all the mods nearer £500

So that's... £1740 or thereabouts, not including P&P, train tickets, etc.

Factor in the rig at around £800, & it all totals to a figure not unadjacent to:

£2540

P.

[dougal]

Eeek. Too much.

Basses, GW + 2x Sadows (1 usa, 1 metro) + ray+ warwick... £5k ish plus a double bass.

Then a les Paul and a peavey wolfgang...

Mind you, as has been pointed out, less than the cost of my wife's car, and that's just going to depreciate.

However, I look back at the £1k I spend on a 486 with 4mb of RAM and a 28.8k modem and that's where I've lost silly money.

At least with the basses they don't depreciate THAT much

[charic]

Just south of £1.8k I think in basses and including amps probably around £2.3k

I don't feel too bad

[Truckstop]

Does anyone have any idea how much Carp fishers spend on their hobby?!
An half decent rod's nearly a grand!
We should never feel bad about the amount of money we spend on our rigs.

Truckstop.

edit: shocking spelling mistakes!

[BottomEndian]

Basses: about £2.5k (and they'd be a fair bit more to replace)
Amp/cabs: about £1.5k
Pedals/boards/connectivity: about £1.5k

Yikes.
