It's actually scarry to sit and total things up. I figured my 'worth' by street prices and going rates on ebay. If I had to buy this stuff new again, it'd be at least 2500 more.

13,300 in basses alone
3,700 in amps
700-800 in misc effects
 
Yikes, I just re-did my list for the rider on my insurance policy. I used the price I would have to pay to replace them new - so:
AMPS - $7244
BASSES- $13118
Gig bags and cases and cables - $1066

THAT DOES IT, I'm officially admitting to terminal GAS! (notice I did not say, no more?)

6 Basses: $6200
Amps/Cabs: $4600
Misc. Racks, cases, cables etc.: $500
Effects: $0 :D


Total: $11,300

At the rate I'm currently gigging, it'll be a while before I get this into the "black". :) Oh well, like I keep telling my wife, it beats dropping $100 to spend all day drinking beer and chasing a little white ball around the course!
 
I think a better question would be what how long is it going to take me to pay it all off? lol about 2300 canadian for my bass... warwick thumb 5 and about 3000 canadian for my rig. just finished paying off the rig, now its time to start paying off the bass hopefully less than a year.
 
Ok, I'll add my two cents per say:

Keep in mind that my friend has given me some amazing deals. This is my bass stuff(not including my oboe, guitar, and tenor sax) and the price that I paid for them:

Warwick F.N.A. Jazzman: 1,000 dollars(I got lucky.)
Lemur Laguna Sunrise Upright: 2,300 dollars
Bow: 800 Dollars
G-K 700 RB: 500
Avatar 2 by 10 and 1 by 12: 400 dollars
Boss GT-6B:395 dollars
Boss SYB-3 Bass Synth: 195
Lots of other stuff too. This is mainly what I use.

Man, I am blessed! :hyper:

Joe's blast from the past. Here ya go...

easily over $20,000

Hmmm... 62 jazz bass, warrior 5, warrior 4, modulus flea bass, kinal bass, G&L custom, tune keronpachi, matt pulcinella x2, hartke xl-4 x2, jack read custom, 79 sabre, warwick anniversary corvette, cirrus, 71 precision bass, 81 G&L L-2000 Series E, Warmoth custom, Hamer 2tek 5, 75 RI Jazz bass...

There's 20 basses... it gets a little weak at the end but I am sure as a whole they average over $1000 apiece. and that's not including any of my cheap basses. 3 milleniums etc, 5 lightwaves etc...

Also I have about $6000 worth of stuff for sale at the moment...
