WOW!! This is a scary question... Do we include the things we have gone through to get where we are or just what we have right now? I have owned 59 basses from Alembic (3), Fender (7), Pedulla (5), Rics (3), Spector (9), Steinberger, to cheaper knockoffs ranging in value from over $6,000 to as little as a couple hundred bucks. I have also owned 14 guitars all of which were in the $750 or higher range. Throw in Effects of ALL kinds...... Probably close to or better than $75 -100K maybe more!

AMPS.....from Alembic Pres to Ampeg, Carvin, Crown, Fender, GK, H&K, Kustom, Line 6, Marshall, Sadowsky pre,SWR, Trace.....etc. The bad thing is I know I am leaving stuff out. At Least another 30-40K

My current Stage Rig is:

$475 SKB Shock rack
$125 Furman PL-8
$150 KORG Tuner
$$700 Bass POD PRO/Switch
$450 Avalon U5
$200 BBE 482
$2,150 Eventide Eclipse
$1,000 Stewart 2.1
$150 Drawer full of more crap at least another $100
$500 SWR Goliath II

$6,000 US PLUS

$2,400 Warwick Streamer 2 J/J Custom 5
$2,100 Warwick Streamer 1 P/J 4
$1,800 Warwick Thumb Neck Through 4

$6,300 US

Getting ready to add Sadowsky Custom Quilted Cherry 4 at about $3,600 and a new cab (probably Bergantino at this point) at least another $1,000...

Call it $5,000...

At LEAST
TOTAL: $17,300 US
that I typically travel with!

add up past and that equals OVER $150,000 in about 25 years....that is only about $6,000 a year if you average it out though, right?

Whose idea WAS this anyway? I'm really disgusted with myself at this point!!!!!!!

 

[ZZMorgan]

I'll stick with just what I own now. Otherwise, I might be just as disgusted with myself.

Basses $8700
Amps $3000
Cabs $2400
FX &tc $500

$14,600

Hmm, not a heck of a lot better. $400 less than the price my parents paid for the house I grew up in...but that was a long time ago.

like my pick-ups, should i just get some new J's or some hummbucking pickups??

 

[Nick man]

My dad and I were counting it the other day, and its about $3000.

Once I get a couple more cabs and a back up bass I will be closer to $5000.

I never imagined having to worry about gear insurance so young!

Peace
Nick

 

[Osama_Spears]

Ibanez Jumpstart Bass Pak,I bought a 10ft cable too...my other one was cheap

A little over $3000. But I've only been playing for 13 months, and I'm in university and can't even afford food.

Ah well, gotta have priorities. Beer and bass gear. I love student loans.

Dammit, I had to go rack now I'm up to $3400, I better get one hell of a summer job.

 

[Jazz Ad]

2 basses 2000 each.
PA 1400.
Effects and stuff about 1500.
Others (guitars drums etc) about 1500 too.

I used to have more than that but got rid of the unused items.

 

[Chris Brodowski]

It truly astonishes me the amount of money people have spent.

Mine isn't worth enought to mention.

 

[JimS]

My current rig began accumulating in 1989 -- that's along time ago. And I've spent than I should have so look at me with a bit of stupidity and not envy. I need my Kurzweil PC2 and Roland XV-5080 synths like Victor Whooten needs bass lessons!

 

[rickreyn]

Investments my boy.

 

[geshel]

Well, I just realized that I spent as much last year as I'd thought my "arsenal" was worth overall. All those little things add up. Well OK and the big things too (new Hanewinckel fretless, Clover 5-string, PRS guitar, three cabs, one power amp, V-bass). Last year was a big year. Now I've got a bunch I want to sell though.

 

[bassplayingdan]

mexican fender pbass purchased at pawnshop: PRICELESS

 

[Jonathan Starr]

This is frightening. I've never added it up before.

It's over 30K for bass stuff. More for PA & drums & guitars etc.

Well in terms of retail my three basses are probably worth 21k...in terms of actual price they are probably more around 15-17k.

I don't regret one penny.

 

[nirvanabassguy]

i have a little over 3 grand invested in my bass gear......but I went to guitar center last weekend and put a down payment on a tacoma.......I still want more gear.
