What's your arsenal worth?

[CTbass&birdsong]

Basses $5100
Amps $2400
Effects & rack stuff $850
Other essential 'stuff' $550

Wow $8900, that's impressive. It sounds so much more in $s than £s. I never realised i owned as much.

It adds up quicker than you expect !!! I really recommend insurance.........................

 

[sedan_dad]

Under 5 grand for everything I have.
This is what I paid for the stuff.
I'm including my '66 Jazz for $300.(Thats all I paid 20 years ago.)

 

[rowan5978]

Mine is going to sound rather pathetic compared to some of yours!!
2 basses totalling around £300 (about $600) Although I'm not sure how much one of mine is worth (as opposed to what I paid for it!)
Amp £70 (about $120)

 

[moosebass]

$18,000 in basses - sick, but I have sold quite a few!

an MTD 545
Musicman Stingray 5
Musicman Cutlass Fretless 4
Modulus Quantum 5 Fretless
Spector 4
Warwick Jack Bruce 1991 4 string Fretless
Warmouth 4 Fretless
NS 5 EUB (US made)
Clevenger 4
Kay 'Chubby Jackson' 5 string

??? in amps:
GK 200MB
Eden Metro - extra 2X10 cabinet
SWR Baby Blue - extra 4X8 cabinet

I am guessing that puts me just over the $20,000 mark.

Thanks to the current @~%$$# exchange rate , my basses (all paid for in Euros) are probably waaay up there in this poll !

Shame that I couldn't buy them for peanuts in the USA - most sellers seem to be against shipping outside of the the "48 contigs" ? Don't know why they'd sooner ship to Area 51 than Germany , but it's basically their loss at the end of the day (I'm not bitter, you understand )!

 

[Drifta]

less than 1k in basses, so i selected that.

but factor in strings, amps, cabs its more like 3.5k... throw in guitars/guitar amps and keyboards and its at a more depressing 5k+

[pyrohr]

Around 16K to 17k all included
And that's all spent in the last 3 years!

Add another $3500- $4000 to that!

 

[NorCal Dog]

well,, i've bought a few rigs,,, sold a few rigs,, bought more than a few basses,, sold a few basses,, pedals,,, boards,,, PA's,, mixing boards,,all the necessary cables,, ect,, ect,,

i just look at it like this,,, there are a hell of alot worse addictions out there, besides being a musician,,, & i bring alot of pleasure to the people that hear us play.

i really have no idea of how much i've spent on gear thru the years,, & could really care less,,,,, at least all that money didn't go up my nose.

 

[afinalfantasy]

Around $1400, give or take.

 

[butchblack]

I figure including my wireless I'm around $1100

Fernandes the function Jazz bass
Fernandes PJ bass
Backline 600 amp
Avatar SB 112 neo cab
XDS 95 wireless

With the exception of the wireless everything was bought used.

 

[Tamarack]

Counting my 3 basses, 2 amps, effects, cables, etc. about $1,300. But I'm gassing for more.

 

[Guest043]

i just added it up to 9,200. plus im planning on buying another head + 2x12 cubes (~$1900) and within a year or so im buying another bass at $3600 =/

the saddest part of this is, i paid for all of this working for 7.75 an hour at a supermarket. thats dedication to the low end right there

thats almost 2 full years of work + not spending money on anything but bass gear. but hey, atleast my tone is top notch.

 

[Gegatso]

Geez I didn't even add my amps and junk...only the basses. Ugh.

 

[Rick Auricchio]

What I paid, not what they now cost new:

Basses $9800
Amps $3250
FX, tuners, cables etc $600

Best bargain: The 1965 Precision for $275 in 1973, which included a Vox Essex amp. The amp was poor but the bass is worth much more today.

 

[jmcgliss]

My arsenal value is lower than a few years ago. I sold off several valuable basses and substituted ones I built or took a chance on budget brands. The low-end ones are good enough to get daily/weekly use without worries of damage or theft. I'll buy and sell stuff so that with dollar cost averaging, and lower priced instruments improving in quality, my money is working harder.

 

[Baryonyx]

I've sold off all my basses now except my Spector 4 string fretted and my Squier VM fretless jazz. I thought I'd keep the best of the bunch, fretted and fretless and have a small but well used collection!

 

[detracti]

Around $9000 total.

That doesn't include home recording or DAW stuff. and a few other odds and ends.
