unlimited money

cena

if you had unlimited money what would buy. i would buy a good tube amp

feylya

Unlimited? I've always fancied the idea of owning New Zealand.

A selection of high end amps (Diezels, Mesa, ENGLs, Dr Z's) and Bacchus' entire catalogue would be a definite though.

Dord

Gibson. I hear that they need a new owner.

Alanstrainor

You'd have to go custom and use the best of the best of everything! Oh and the Bacchus back catalogue would most definitely go down well!

mattfender

Massive gigs...all the time. That I can play :pac:

IM0

A stradivarious then walk into a gathering of people who knew what it was...play it [badly] then smash it to pieces on the 'stage' ala stereotypical rockstar :cool:

Welease

I'd love to be in a position to buy some of the instruments that were owned by people I listened to....

Ignoring the obvious like Philo's bass's, Rory's strat, I would love to own one of Paul Cleary's Telecasters. I have often thought of tracking him down and offering him cash for one.. He (and the Blades) were the reason I learn to play guitar back in the 80's and still play today. (in fact my son is called Jake not specifically after the Blades drummer Jake Rielly, but I heard the name first on him and always loved the sound of it).

demanufactured

id go test out every amp there is then buy a good few of the ones i liked
id buy a good few dean ml's in all the colours.
id buy a few different ibanez jems.
dunno what else.

rcaz

Hmm...

Tele Plus, Starcaster, vintage Jazzmasters, Jaguars and Mustangs, a few other Tele models (Custom, Deluxe, etc...) Prince's symbol guitar...

A few pedal boards (I'd have to spend a while populating them... Let's assume they're big, noisy... a few staples: Whammy I, MoogerFooger ring mod, phaser and delay, Fender spring reverb, Roland RE201 Space Echo, Alesis Bitrman, lots of the Dwarfcraft Devices pedals, EH POG and HOG, Boss DM2, DM3, RV3, tremolo/pan, Dimension, lots of feedback loops to put everything in...)

Vox AC30, Fender Twin- and Super- Reverbs, a big filthy Hiwatt...

The fun stuff;

17-inch MacBook Pro with all the good **** maxed-out
Max/MSP/Jitter
Ableton Suite
Logic Studio
MOTU Traveler
Doepfer Pocket Fader / Kenton Control Freak - enough so I can have 88 sliders to play my slider piano with
Behringer FCB 1010
assorted MIDI keyboards
Projector for live video stuff via Jitter

Moog Rogue
MiniMoog
A big Analogue Systems RS Integrator, with French Connection keyboard
A big Doepfer A-100
An original Ondes Martenot
Korg MS20
Roland TR909, TR808, TR707 and TR606
Elektron Machinedrum
Korg Electribe

I could lock myself away for weeks and just use the rest of the money for getting pizza delivered to my room cave

Portlawslim

Unlimited money...eeemmmm let's see:D

First thing is I'd buy a house with no neighbours near by with a big garden. At the end of the garden I'd then build a self contained building with a big rehearsal space/studio and control room with a kitchen and toilets.

Then I'd fill it with all the stuff I've been drooling over for the last 20+ years.
Old Vox AC30, Fender Twin, Assorted Marshall's every pedal that catch's my eye and the same with guitars.......:cool:

Karl Hungus

I'd buy John Petrucci.

Zangetsu

A pick or 2 prolly, maybe a capo...

ArthurGuinness

Id buy all the banks bad debts!

Nahguavkire

I'd firstly build myself a top notch studio/ rehearsal space, fully kitted out with the following:


Amps:
Engl
Divided by 13
Orange
Working Dog by Alessandro
Marshall
Soldano

Full set of MXR and Line6 effects

Nice 4-piece kit by Gretsch/ OC/ DW/ Pearl

Ampeg Bass gear and some nice old Fender basses


Then for guitars...


PRS Custom Shop:
Hollowbody Singlecut (same shape as a Gibson ES-175)
Custom 22 w/Floyd Rose
Selection of other PRS...

Collings:
D2H
OM2H Sunburst
17" Jazz Archtop

D'Angelico:
New Yorker w/ Florentine Cutaway

Lifetime supply of Strings and Leads...

That would be nice... That said I wouldn't want it all at once as you wouldn't play them all... nicer to get one or two guitars a year for the rest of yur life

Yakult

I'd buy Music store and live in the place

I'd start by going over to Billy Gibbon's gaff and buying everything he owns.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Gibbons#Musical_equipment.

You might associate him with spinning furry guitars, but I have a book that shows his cars and guitars and he has such an incredible collection of 50s and 60s guitars and amps it'd make your head spin!

When I'm done with the Reverend, I'd go and buy SRV's #1 and Rory's strat.


After that I'd probably just stay at home for a while with a big box of tissues...

punchdrunk

i'd buy blackie from whoever owns it now and put a floyd cop on it,a gold one...


then i'd stand back and watch the TGP heads issue a blues-fatwah

-Chris-

Oooooh, that's evil - imagine using your unlimited money to buy every guitar of historical significance and then defacing them.

I'd put Floyd Roses in Lucille, Keef's Tele and Jimmy Page's Les Paul. I'd have one of Townsend's smashed guitars lovingly restored to showroom condition. I'd replace every one of Gilmour's guitars with mexican strats, I'd tune Kurt's guitars with a strobe tuner and I'd raise Yngwie's action to slide guitar proportions....


Maybe this deserves a thread of it's own.

I wouldn't even put original Floyds on them, but cheap licensed ones made in the Far East that never stay in tune.

CianRyan

Unlimited?
Easy, I'd buy everything.

mega man

i would have my own chef and personal trainer.
