Where i'm planning on building the taxes are at least that a year... good thing is I'm building green so hopefully my utilities will be minimal.

Well God Speed jdurso. I good friend of mine built his "ecologically friendly" home about 10 years ago and he loves it. He recycles about 90% of his water and nothing goes to waste. In fact, he installed like 15 giant solar panels on his property that generates electricity back into the grid. Anyway, good luck!

Here's something that's going to make you ALL sick...

Mesa/Boogie
Road King v1 #RK00033 - $4500 - Purchased, shipped to AUS from US, Customs fees, and Changing the transformer
Dual Rectifier #R006862 - $2700 the first time, then about $2400 when I bought it back from the dude I sold it too. Hahah
Bass 400+ #B3830 - $2000
Recto Cab Std Slant #C30010 - $1500
& #C42367 - $2000 (I got $300 off cause it was a floor model)
1516B Bass Cab #C26788 - $1500
Quad Preamp #Q2230 - $900
Total= $14,400

Other
Maton Mastersound MS2000 - $1700 (cause I got $1000 plus the guitar for the Dual Recto before buying it back)
& MS500 - $900
Ampeg SVT810E - $1900
Orange AD30H + PPC412A - $2000 combined
Total= $6,500
Grand Total= $20,900
Current converstion to $US = $17,100

:lol: I could have put a deposit on a house

Just for more attention to make myself feel superior (which is what these threads are for, arent they)

I'll add my bass for $2000.
Then a few pages on i'll add in my effects pedals.

 

[TemporarilyStairs]

I like this idea because I want to see just how much i've 'downsized.'


Old Rig:

Mesa Quad Pre: $700
Mesa 50/50: $500
G-Major: $400
Furman: $100
Pedals + Board(includes ABY): $500
Carvin 4x12: $400
Sovtek Mig60: $400
Carvin 2x12: $250

Guitars: Parker P-42: $400
Les Paul Studio DC: $750
Ibanez Jtk1: $250

So that was getting up near $5k, without talking about extra tubes, cables, setups, blah blah.

Now, (after I grab my new poweramp in a week or two)

Guitars: Parker P-42: $400
Les Paul Studio DC: $750

Pod XT Live: $250
Mosvalve MV-982: $150
Furman: $100
Carvin 2x12: $250

That's under $2k!! But still, $2k seems like a lot when I realize the insane **** I put this rig through on a daily basis, 50 weeks a year heh...

But anyway, that saved an awful lot of cash, and an awful lot of headaches

Naturally, I've got a bunch of other crap I don't always use (other guitars, amps, pedals, blah blah blah... obviously I don't play bass on a daily basis, nor do I play fretless guitar) but these are my 'main rig' sort of things.

I know, I'm a dirty evil digital guy now. No regrets, it's totally worth it. Flame on!

Nothing??? no????? No Lol's?

For the record, I was taking the piss out of myself as much (if not more) than anyone else. I'm the biggest wanker here, but maybe admitting it decreases my level of wankiness... but thinking that actually makes me MORE of a wanker. so my initial statement is confirmed

[YellowJacket]

Gear is way too expensive! Everything here is in CAD since I'm a beaver boy.

Ok,

Dual Rec Blackface Two Channel: $1,700 used but in great shape.

Mesa Standard Rectocab: $1,000 barely used. Basically I had to break in the speakers myself.

Godin LG $735 (add $300 for pickup swap)

Gibson Les Paul Standard $3,100
Premium Plus

Yellowjackets $100

Peavey 1 x 12 with a swapped in $200

I almost forgot my most important piece.
Peavey Rage 158 practice amp $75
This ensures I can actually practice while living in a condo this fall.

-american funds from here-

Latest project: Theile 2 x 12:
$40 wood
$50 hardware /w shipping
$25 grille /w shipping
$112 G12M heritage celestion

[grantcooper2]

hmm this is a good idea, I wonder how much I have invested in my gear so far...lets see what is in in US dollars even though I, like yellowjacket, am Canadian

AMPS:
Mesa Roadster Head - $1500
Mesa Roadster 2x12 - $450 (thanks jdurso!)
Orange ppc412hp8 - $1000

GUITARS:
PRS Custom 24 Artist - $2800? (I got this through a series of trades so I am not sure, it could be closer to $2000 actually but...whatever)
Gibson Les Paul Standard - $2100
Takamine EF-381C - $400 (what a deal!)
Takamine EF508KC - $1000
TNARG (my name backwards) CUSTOM FRETLESS STRAT - Free so far, but we'll see!

FX:
LYT32 Pedal board w/ata case - $230
TC G-System - $900
Boss FV500h - $50
Fulltone OCD - $135
BB Preamp - $145
Barber Tone Press - $120
Copilot FX Android - $135
Voodoo Pedal Power Plus2 - $100
Fulltone Clyde Deluxe Wah - $180

Total = $11,245 (give or take a couple hundred for tubes/cables/etc.)

Yikes. I guess that isn't too bad since I have been acquiring guitars and stuff since Jr. High (I am 22 now). I would say that about half that value was from presents/gifts (i.e. past guitars/amps/fx/misc.) throughout my childhood, and then I invested the other half myself within the last 4 years or so to acquire all the specific gear you see now. But still, ****, and I was thinking about getting a second head, a combo amp, and selling my 2 cabs and getting 2 mills cabs within the year...uh oh.

[YellowJacket]

Which speakers?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Gibson and Marshall were made for one another. I wish I had money for a TSL 60 head!

 

[Anonymous]

My Mesa and Bogner cabs both have V-30s in them, which I'm happy with. The Basson came stock with Eminence Legends, but I really, really hate those things. I'm in the process of replacing them with speakers I like a lot because I want to use that cab for playing out. That said, it needs to sound good with all my amps and guitars, so what I've done is taken the mids of the V-30s and the treble and bass of the G12T-75s to form a pretty balanced cab.

The speakers are used in an X pattern, and while I don't care for it as much as my Mesa or Bogner, it's a pretty **** good cab; much better than the way it came stock!
