[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

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.

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.

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€

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 :rolleyes:

Yamaha RBXJM1 - £400

GK 400RB-IV - £350
Cabs and Sub - £350
Master Blaster - £129
PedalTrain, ODB-3 and Tuner - £180

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!

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

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 :)

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!
