I'm doing estimated mid retail 'cause I don't want to know what I've actually spent (though it's probably a good bit lower than this number will be)...

Bass: $1900
Guitars: $1170
Amps: $3220
Effects: $350
Misc (Bags, Cases, Covers, Cables: $200

So now I'm at $6840.00. I'm not even going to try to figure what I spend on strings. I guess I could throw in what I've spent on drums sticks. Oops, did I just say that? I didn't mean it!:rolleyes:
 
I guess ermm

£1900 GB IV Custom
£600 Trace
£300 Multi Effect
xxx on strings :p

prolly around £3200 once all stuff like stands, leads, straps biggest every day loss is on those pesky 9v'ers lol...

soon to be around £600-700-ish on new bass tho i have no idea wot, been mighty uninpressed by the range of basses in the UK...tis pooh

Cheers Ppl

Peace
 
Aloo!

Been a long time since I've been on here and have had to sell part of my collection in order to survive (having turned professional!)

Just sold my treasured Jaydee Classic (ex Mark King) serial #00002 to a collector in Paris for £16,000. My remaining 28 or so basses are worth whatever anyone would pay for them, my most treasured bass is now an Alembic Series 1 which I believe once belonged to the late John Entwistle who died a year ago today - RIP John.

I would estimate I own around £30,000 of gear and sadly had to sell my Porsche too!

Must remember to open that shop!

My Bass: $75 (took a GSR190 off a drummer friend; paid for his Bonnaroo Music Festival ticker)
My Amp: $70 (Ibanez 10w Practice amp...go figure.)
My Cord: $5
My Tuner: $15 (KORG: Tuner of Champions)

My Total Expenses: $165

I'm poor. I'm saving up for a new amp and probably a Monster Cable. Sooner or later I'll get a Fender P. And hey, if I get REAL lucky and win some contest on Music123 or something (ha, fat chance), I can get anything I want just from selling all the crap I don't need!

IMO...the Monster Cable is a waste of money...

PeteBass said he tried a variety of different cables(including Monster,if I remember correctly)
and he said they all sound the same..

*shrug* your decision.

I have the same bass as you:)
