Christ thats scary, i could actually own a car for that... thats not including my recording/bass/v-drum gear. Try it it'll freak you out how much GAS consumes you.

John

Or it might buy you one Les Paul in Waltons. Now that's a scary thought.

david

Definitely; the prices listed are average online prices, i only bought two things in my current rig in ireland, the DT-10, that was my dad, two days before xmas, no time for thomann, and a chrome slide that was priced incorrectly.

Theres no way in hell im adding up everything i own!

*Tripper*

Hmmm might give this ago. I'd say i'll be shocked at how much its worth with all the guitars/amps i have floating around!

It wasn't me!

Ah lads no need to factor in the kitchen sink! Thats just the stuff i was hauling to some dodge school gig. The bare minimum like! Scary to think i carry over €2k worth of pedals and accessories in a little case to gigs...

-=al=-

im on the 5,000 mark or so... =/ it adds up over the years

Jesus. I'm not even going to try, I know it's going to be something obscene.

Haha yeah, the price of a small house more than likely!

Owen

I'm terrified to add it all up. It must be pushing 10k though. Still, I look at it like being a Mechanic/Carpenter ... you must have excellent tools to do your job, right? RIGHT? :eek: (Help me justify it ...)

Karl Hungus, thinking about the cost of his rig:


I say my rig is quite modest, let's work it out using current Thomann or Sounds Live prices.

Epiphone Les Paul Custom €589
with Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge €75*
Ashdown Fallen Angel 60W 2x12" combo €535*
Roland Microcube €99
Warwick Streamer Standard €1000*
Trace Elliot Boxer 65 €100*
Boss TU-2 tuner €89
Boss DD-6 delay €149
Boss BF-3 flanger €115
Boss PS-5 SuperShifter €199
Boss CS-3 compressor €71
ProCo You Dirty Rat distortion €105
EHX Holy Grail reverb €89
Ebow Plus €89

Giving a grand total of: €3304. Although bear in mind I didn't pay full whack for most of these items. Plus all I could find were Warwick Rockbass Streamer Standards which were far too low a price so I've no idea what the Warwick Streamer was worth (I got it as a deal with the Trace Elliot).

*couldn't find exact model/discontinued so an approximation

feylya

Oooh, current Thomann prices? Hmm, time to redo mine. Be right back

Update:

Coming out at €6726. That said, I had to subsitute a PRS for my Eggle, an EC-1000 for my Edwards and a Fender for my Fujigen. Even though, DAMN, that's a lot of gear :eek:

John

Well I went for current Thomann prices for handiness' sake.

Yeah, something like that!

I'd say between the ENGL, Stealth and few Ibanezes I'd have nearly 5 grand.

John

It's not the cost that matters but the fun you have playing with it.

Now there's some sense. I certainly get my moneys worth of fun out of it all.

John

That's the important part. I've easily gotten my money's worth out of my gear.

Along side sentiments like that, which are dead true, another thing i can say is that my rig might have cost me a good bit, but it would cost some people twice as much to buy the same stuff.

deaddonkey

cost of main guitar and 2 amps
560 for gretschalike import hollowbody
200 for valve amp head
100 for cab speakers
250 for practice amp

€1100

and there's a homemade guitar too that cost more in parts and tools than i care to think about, plus a few cheap beaters and, uhh, 3 pedals.

probably about 2300 altogether. i can live with that.
