HOw much is ur pedal board setup?

[jackyboyboy]

Well, we all go thru alot of GAS, i.e for bass, pedals, acessories etc... Had been spending alot for our passion for Music in Bass Clef. I am using GT6B multi-effects.
Just wan to survey around how much u guys single pedal board is worth. I mean how much had u all spend on pedals and board of course. As i have though before to explore single pedals as well. Know for their better tones than Multi of course. Thanks

if i include the pedals i've paid for but not collected, around 1.4k?

On my PT-JR, about $2.5K. Including my other board and the misc pedals about $6.5K in all.

I think I have a problem......

heh, as long it fulfilled the musical aspect of making music with those gear, cost shall never be an issue.

haha, its weird to talk about how much we have spent on gear, kinda like cheapen the whole idea of our self expression thru the music we do.

I've posted it in the Bass Pedalboards thread before. Here's how it looked a couple of months back. Have since made a couple of changes to the board.

I agree. To a large extent, all the gear that I have bought has helped expand my bass playing.

Ideally cost should not be an issue. But we all know that money is finite and we just have to balance what we need our money for.

 

[PatheinRaindropMoe]

indeed money is finite. It just kinda irks me after a while when the focus shift to how much we have spend instead of what have we done musically for those kinda threads i've seen on how much we spend.

Heh, i guess it be more interesting to hear clips of what we/our instrument are capable of regerdless of the cost thou. Just dont like the ideas of souding good gotta be spending much.

How different can we be, from the people flaunting their assets over over the place, without much depth in them.

i spent way too much. but hey, its my hard earned money!!

 

[PatheinRaindropMoe]

heha, bro ramone, amen to that.

I spent way way way too much, thus never like the idea of associating gear with money..

i guess it's a matter of not losing focus on what is important. the gear we have should be a tool to accomplish our goal of creating good music. while good gear is not a neccessity, it does help sometimes.

cost is irrelevant as long as the piece of equipment helps to acheive what you desire.

to tell you the truth, most of what I have picked up over the years were bought more out of curiousity rather than neccessity. Some of the pedals ae just fun to have while others serve a more functional purpose.

of course, most of all i wish i had more time to spend on creating music but as it goes, family and work takes up most of my time...

so is the reality of life in Singapore.

 

[rottenramone]

well, i need weird pedals cos i'm playing electronica. weirdness is good!

 

[5stringwonder]
