Here my breakdown of my gear cost.

Yamaha pacifica 120S( after modded to silver) -$100
2 Ibanez Infinity Humbuckers-$20
ESP Bag- $15
DS2-$60
Yamaha GA15 amp-$40

The joy of owning and enjoying the
gear that u have at a fraction of original cost-Priceless
 
I've got a marshall MG15cdr, a roland cube 30x and a sd-1. Guitar I've none currently, used to own a jackson and ibanez guitar.

Currently will be getting an american fender strat, perhaps a nice small tube amp head and a 2x12 or 4x12 cab.

Total I think I'll be spending 3k, after deducting the resale value of current gear. Haiz, down with the GAS virus.
 
I don't think my total is small.

...but who's counting?:mrgreen:

Abt $300 on guitar, $150 for pickups, $450 on multifx and single pedals.

Total $900.

Not bad!






I don't want to count my non-guitar gears, though... :mrgreen:

EDIT: Can't resist calculating, so I did.

Non-guitar gear: Abt $1500.

Total: Abt $2400.

Still not bad! That means I still got good excuse to spend, hehehe...

I think you should concentrate on playing! :mrgreen:

Nice collection though. Not too sure if you're a fan of Steve Howe (Yes) but he regularly sells his axes and he has a great collection. I don't know of any other great guitarist that sells their collection other than Steve Howe.

I get the cramps(wrists and in the brain) whenever I wanna list out stuff that I own...... forgetting seems to be a better option.
