hehe, if we look from another direction, remembering how much we spend on gear(everything listed out), is prolly a sign that we have not buy enough to actually forgotten how much we have spent

so, theres still hope for us and we shud buy more!

that's very true. but the list i just came up with, is definitely not exhaustive. heck, i dont' even have time to play the guitars. its like, me wanting to work more sometimes to buy new gear, becomes me buying more stuff to compensate myself for working. working is enjoyable plus buying gear itself is fun. i wish i play as well as i deserve the gear!
 
to be fair, i think must indicate clearly if one is a hobbyst or working musician.

Having an top of the line expensive rig is healty if you generate more money out of it :D (but strangely enough, gigging musicians that I know or I know of, tend to use simpler gear :D)

TGM electric guitar =RM400
Laney HCM10 =RM250
Ibanez SA160 =RM950
Zoom 505II =RM100
