What do you collect besides basses?

LPs >

(^ this is a good portion of them.)

Aside from those and bass related stuff (of which I don't have much by TB standards, but it's all quality gear), i like to travel light ... I'm a city apartment dweller that tends to move a lot.

Hmmm...
I tried to get a LA casino to give me a few packs of used cards that I could use in my 2nd grade classroom.

No Dice!
(...see what I did there?! )

I did. Getting stuff or not getting stuff, hoping to get stuff....hmmm..man, you're playing roulette with that.
And FYI, I actually typed this with a poker face.

I'm guessing you have at least a couple of Stray Cats albums.

I think you may have crapped out. Double down, or maybe split. You are such a card.

Baseball caps - but not a single one for a baseball team. Also, only embroidered logos, no printing. Most of them are from places I've been. Categories include:

Hard Rock Cafe - at least 30
National Parks - a dozen or so
Organizations
Companies
Bass builders - most boutique builders
Amp builders

Anyway, add in the miscellaneous and there are at least a couple hundred of them.

Glad I did not offend you then with the references. Last time I offended someone I got decked. All because I insulted (in a joke) about the criminal, a bandit, the cops caught. I was insensitive enough to make fun of his having only one arm and a bad hand.

Hmm...I think I may have just done a Triple Crown thingie.......

Vinyl
Hull Brown-Drip Pottery
Roseville Pottery
Depression Glass
Vintage Stereo/Electronic Equipment
Tools

whoa...my wife has a very nice Roseville pottery collection including one of the very first ones made, a rather primitive, tho nice, brown one.

I used to collect several types of vintage pottery including Hull, Bauer and Fiestaware. My first wife and I got fairly serious in to Fiesta back in the late 80's when we were still in college. We would go to auctions and buy several pieces at a time. We were always the youngest ones buying it at auctions. Back then you could still get it at reasonable prices! When we divorced we split our collection and I later sold my half for a good profit as prices had gone up considerably by then. At the moment I just have a couple of pieces of Hull and one really cool Bauer pitcher with a wooden handle that I have hung on to all these years.

We have a very small, but hopefully soon to be growing collection of pottery: Roseville, Rookwood, Acoma, Sioux, Navajo (possible vase from the Zuni will be added shortly). There's a bit of Depression glass, and a couple pieces of Limoges.

There is a copper vase by the Roycroft I have my eye on but it is a bit pricy.

I, also, want another Gustav Stickley piece, either a drop front desk or a chalet desk. And an L & JG Stickley 45 magazine stand that a guy I know has.

Tenor cutaway ukuleles. In my first year of playing a little over five years ago I had sixteen, then culled them down to four of the best playing and sounding. Since then I'm up to eight, the maximum my humidified cabinet can hold, which keeps me in check, though I've been looking at having another custom made of all solid myrtle and double cutaway.

I just sold my penny collection to CoinStar(TM)

I don't consider the 3 basses I have as a "collection", though my bride does.

As a KISS fan since '78, I became a collector at some point in time. Maybe it's an issue, not sure.

One wall of my music room.

The "babies"

My daughter made me this table

Some of the overflow in the main part of the basement.

And gotta have the KISS logo in neon over the 70's lunchbox right?

 

[bholder]

Dust, mostly.


Also, any kind of musical instrument I can get my hands on.

My collections tend to wax and wane over the years, and on more than one occasion I had to sell my collections for whatever I could get for them.

Shot glasses - I used to have so many of these, but sold them a couple of decades ago. Just recently started that collection back up, so I only have a few, but every time I go somewhere with a gift shop I'll look for one.

CDs - I used to have close to 1000 CDs but down to about 200 or so, but still buy them. Just a bit more picky these days.

Paperback books - I love going to a used book store and picking up old paperbacks. I sometimes get several versions of the same book with different covers. Mostly Sci-Fi, spy thrillers, military fiction. I also have a collection of old non-fiction military books, mostly focused on WWII. My dad gave me his collection of Ballantine's Illustrated History of WWII books, which I think is around 3/4 complete.

Rock T-shirts - I recently started buying more rock t-shirts at concerts or in the stores, and I'm starting to get quite a collection, well over 30 shirts right now.

A collection of "Here, I knew you'd like this, aren't I nice for giving this to you?" … miscellaneous crap, that stacks up in my house. / garage / basement.

Funny thing is, all of these people have been to my house, and make the comment that I have too much stuff. So what do they do? Give me more stuff with the caveat that I'm a bad person if I don't accept their stuff.
