What's your arsenal worth?

[CaracasBass]

I have like $2K in gear, if I dont count the money spended in strings, bateries, etc etc etc

 

[Nomadic Herder]

Right now (at normal retail prices)

Instruments: $1250
Amps: $2075
FX: $270

Total over time (I've sold many things)

Instruments: $1670
Amps: $2175
FX: $515

So right now it's all about $3595. Wow.

 

[rickreyn]

I top out at about $2,800.

Bass with upgrades $905
Amp and cab $1500
Other gear $400

 

[Brad Johnson]

I'd have to go by what my gear is worth because the majority is still worth a lot more than what I paid for it.

 

[Brendan]

Basses: $650
Amps: $2000 (though worth about $3000)

That's it. No effects, no rack. Just simple and effective.

So you either have 26 Yamaha Attitude basses or your profile is a bit out of date?

 

[Chris_Brunhaver]

Well, being a doublebass (aka upright etc.) puts you in a different price category altogether. My bass and bow together are worth about $11k and my electric bass and rig I'm into for about $4k. It's a lot of money, but you need the tools to do the job. If I had planned to go audition for symphonies I would have probably have wanted to get a better instrument as well.

I have an other question:
What does all your gear cost, where do you live and when are you NOT at home?

 

[Bruce Lindfield]

I have special musical instrument insurance for all the stuff I take around with me and this is insured for £5,000.

I'm not going to convert this into dollars as it would probably be wrong by the end of the day - the $ has been dropping like a stone this week against European currencies - it may even be worth less than a Euro by the end of the week!

All your basses in the US are steadily devaluing!!

 

[Johnny BoomBoom]

Well, I'm guessing based on a $1.4 to the pound that my collectrion is worth just over $10000. However, we pay a lot more by comparison over here for what you guys pay over there - so this may seem a bit inflated!!!!

 

[Bruce Lindfield]

It's "inflating" all the time as the £ is worth more relative to the $ day by day!!

Here's the latest from XE.com :

Live mid-market rates as of 2002.07.16 09:14:34 GMT.
1.00 GBP United Kingdom Pounds = 1.57645 USD United States Dollars

1 GBP = 1.57645 USD

1 USD = 0.634336 GBP



Wonder what it'll be tomorrow!?

Cheers - my colection is worth more than I thought!

I'm well into the $10000 bracket - for now

how'd you get a gig at an auto parts store?

Kind of an odd place for a gig, isn't it? Was it a grand opening or something?

 

[sobie18]

That was actually a late night rehearsal for a NASCAR gig I did this past year with the Air Force's Tops in Blue. We did the Daytona 500, and the races in Nov '01 @ Atlanta and Homestead (FL). They were O.K....

Never done an Auto parts store but I've had some other weird gigs.....
