to much gear? never.
i say buy enough stuff that your wife cant tell whats what when you buy something new she doesnt notice.

i buy something every 2-4 weeks.
my advice is to plan your purchases so your not just throwing money out the window.

Well, my girlfriend payed for my Blacktop Strat, as a b-day gift . I was telling her how I missed my Strat (I gave it to my cousins kid, I got him into playing guitar), and well, she payed for my guitar. But now I want a 60's Strat. I have read really good reviews about the Classic Player and Classic Series.

Bills payed.

Roof over my head. I usually pay my rent months at a time, to not worry paying the next month. I'm a weirdo.

My better half gave me my Blacktop for my birthday.

Yes, this is my only sin. I hope.

If your better half bought you a Guitar, She's a Keeper.

That's no too much, it's not even enough
Stuff in my apt:
Fender MIA Strat, CIJ Tele, Ron Kirn Tele, Gibson CS336, ES335, Les Paul, Taylor 424CE,
1971 Marshall Super Lead 100, 1971 JMP 50 Tremolo, Carol Ann OD2-100, Paul Ruby Rocket,
1997 Marshall 1960-TV cab, Bogner UberKab, Mojo 212 cab,Mesa 112 cab

My son's stuff in the apt:
Gibson CS336, Les Paul Classic Antique GOTW, Les Paul DC Special TV Yellow, Tinman Thinline Tele, Fender Highway 1,
Orange AD30HTC, Marshall 1962 Bluesbreaker RI Pocket Rocket
Avatar 212 cab, Mojo 112 cab
Now that's too much (maybe)

Hi Alex: I believe this is too much equipment for a home guitarist. But I could be mistaken:



Cheers - C

ok ceri,
that leggy thing is a bit much.
trade it in and get more gear and a truck to store/carry it in.

I don't see ANY equipment there, Ceri, your eyesight must be going!

Yes- where's the Telecaster?

I do agree. I go to a gig to see a band, not lights and hydraulics. Which is why I avoid the stadium type show these days.

Still, as a modest home practice rig I'm sure that setup has its virtues...

Well I'm just assuming there must be tons and tons of gear in those flight cases (the flight cases with the cabs and and the wheels, I'm talking about).

Actually, I've never been to a U2 gig so I don't really know. In fact I was searching for a photo of the convoy of personalised trucks that used to carry Emerson, Lake and Palmer's gear around - damned if I could find that picture on the net though. Now someone will dig it up easily and show how I didn't search properly...

Cheers - C

there was a photo of rigs that carried a stones reunion tour from back in the late 80's early 90s. they all emerged at the last show. the stones stage was so big and took so long to set up, there was 7 total stages being set up in advance all over the place. there were so many truck you couldnt get them all in the pics.

Yeah, it was the last Stones show I saw (on the Forty Licks tour) that put the final nail in the coffin of my stadium going days. Lord, they were bad.

Well, that's not really fair. I guess they could have been great for all I know. I couldn't see them they were so far away and I couldn't hear them, the sound and acoustics were so lousy. Everyone around was trying to guess which number was playing by lip-reading Jagger on the huge screen - might as well have stayed at home and watched the DVD.

And I could have bought 60 DVDs for the price of two tickets.

Odd thing: when people run "best and worst live shows you ever saw" threads on this Forum The Who are usually around the top of the best list and the Stones are generally at the top of the worst one. I'd go along with that...

Cheers - C

40 licks, thats it lol.
ive never seen them ceri.
not a real big fan. i do like some of their songs of course,
just never really followed them.
i bet that last show was a complete tired mess to be sure.
i bet everybody involved was beat by then.

Gear, too much is never enough and when I grow up I want to be just like you Bros.

It is never enough!
I only have 6 guitars and 4 amps (2 of them on the large side)
A pile of effects, box of harmonicas, drum machine and a small recording studio setup.

All in the livingroom wife took over the basement for a gym so I am comfortabley warm and numb by the fireplace most of the day.

The GAS never seems to end, sometimes quiets down for a while but the condition flairs up often!
Now I am thinking I might "need" a looper or a uke
