How much did you spend on the gear you have now?

[ZacAttack]

I ran this thread over at UG and it went nuts. So I thought I would run it up the flagpole over here and see who salutes.

How much did you spend on your gear you have now?
This include all the big stuff and FX, cases, stands, mics etc.
I have a Epi LP Classic Quilt Top I paid $350.00

I quess you could call it a piano bench. It is just an X frame with a padded seat for sitting at the keyboard.

I know Chet already answered your question, but coincidentally back when I was traveling playing solo gigs with an acoustic Ovation guitar I began dragging a wooden stool around with me so I could have a standard feel for the thing sitting night to night.

[hcoll]

...when I first started playing I acquired things that I thought were necessary...like a bar stool.....I'd seen guitar players in bars use them...no arms or back to get in the way of my newly found acoustic...........

...soon found out how much more comfortable the sofa was............. ;D

...when we finished remodeling the kitchen...there was a cabinet door left over...a mistake by Home Despot...rather than throw it out...it now sits on top of the bar stool with the extension speaker on top of it......

...then there was that classical foot rest...thought I might need that too................

...we've all probably picked things up over the years that we now wonder..."what in the heck was I thinking....."

[goldtopsnopp]

All very reasonable answers! I nkow what you mean about feeling at home on a special chair. I find it pretty inconvinient to sit on a chair and play, so maybe a bar stol would be wise...

Damn! 50 $ for an amp and guitar.
So, is the guitar hot?

[Zeppelin Rules]

They're both complete peices of crap. The guitar has this bridge that sticks into you hand and I swear the action is as low as you can set it and its still only usful for slide. That is if the guitar actually can be heard over the hum (more like a roar actually)

[goldtopsnopp]

Hmm, who would have guessed that a 50$ guitar would be crap?

[Zeppelin Rules]

Still it was that $50 peice of crap that sparked my intrest in playing the guitar.

[goldtopsnopp]

Ok! And when you went over to another guitar, and about a year after when you play the crap guitar again, you realize that the intonation sucks?
