What to keep?

redstrand · #1 01-03-2011, 12:38 PM

I have 5 basses and don't play out. I'm always going to keep my Nash P...it's the best P that I have felt and now heard(Thanks Curtis Novak!).

I have a Sting P, Epi Thunderbird, EKO Violin Bass and a 70's Hofner knockoff.

I play the Nash, Love the feel of the Sting and never play the other three.

I'm feeling this way about the 4 guitars I have. I'm thinking of trimming two from the stable. I only play two of them on any regular basis. I have a Nash Tele Blackguard that stays, Epi Oxblood w/Fralin P-92's, PRS SE w/ Mini Humbckers and a Epi Wilshire with all kinds of mods.

Two of each for a non professional that doesn't play out...yet sounds like a better and managable situation.

After replaceing the other stuff that was stolen from my place during xmas made me realize i don't need all this stuff.

What say you?

I'll give you $150 for the T-bird

i think its obvious to get rid of the stuff you never play.

That's where I'm at mentally after my place got broken into. I got rid of xbox stuff already. Figured if it hasn't been touched in 12 months and isn't family property it should go.

I'd keep the upgraded pickups and put the originals back in, if at all possible. Generally replacement pickups don't add much to the resale value. The only exception would be somebody who appreciates them and will pay more to have them included.

I'd put whatever you aren't playing often up for sale and whatever goes first is what's gone. Solves your problem without having to poll

Alright, some stuff is up for sale. I need to practice and play more. If someone has a Darkstar for sale or trade hit me up!

I'm definitely keeping the Sting. I put the other three up for sale and will keep whatever the last one standing is of that group. I'm keeping the PRS...just too playable.

3 of each will be fine.
