Shit man, that is a really sweet collection!!! I haven't even owned half the amount of guitars you have in the 20+ years I've been playing. It's pretty pathetic after seeing your collection, but here's a pic of my meager rig:

Helvet..Actually that's 4 PRS's. A custom24, a Hallow Body, a McCarty and a McSoapy.
Rob...I got that Violin Bass in trade for installing a car stereo about 25 years ago. It sounds great. My son sues it for all of his recordings.

Sabby...That's a great looking rig. I'd be happy to gig with your gear.
I still love to play the guitar. I play guitar, bass and drums every day. I played a 4 hour gig last night and a 3 hour gig the night before and still practice an hour and a half today.

Hey again. There's nothing wrong with my gear, it just looks pathetic when compared to your fiddles. I LOVE playing. I started when I was 15, and played in various bands growing up, but then I became a parent and quickly learned that music would have to take a back seat to everything else so after a while, I just sold everything I had. Then about 10 years later, my dad suddenly passed away and I remembered playing actually got me through some rough times before, so I bought another guitar and amp to get back into things, and eventually practiced enough and worked my chops back up to the point where I felt I could justify getting some nice equipment.

Unfortunately, I seems to live in a part of the state that's devoid of decent musicians who actually own their own equipment and as such, I'm getting sick and tired of looking for other people to play with and I'm thinking about selling everything and just getting a really nice acoustic.

cool tell him to expect an add from the smokes .. me band

Holy smokes what a nice collection!!! Don't I see a vintage Hofner bass there?

When I became a parent (27 years ago) I thought maybe I should quit playing, but at the time it was my main source of income. So I kept playing and quit smoking. This decision created a love for music in both of my kids. They both play professionally now. My son plays in 43 bands and my daughter sings and plays guitar in a blues band. I quit smoking until my son asked me if I wanted to get loaded with him. Now I'm a retired teacher, playing in three bands one of them has my son as a drummer. So if I were you I'd keep your current gear and buy more. Go ahead you have my permission.

Actually its a Crown bass. There weren't to many of them built. It sounds and plays great. If I could find a good Hofner Beatle bass I'd buy it. But I'd always keep my Crown. Its great for recording.

I've got a 67 Gibson Trini Lopez that I bought new. I've never owned anything else that long. I've got another couple of nice axes too, a Jackson/Charvel model 6 and a Taylor accoustic but I'm not much of an accoustic player. I don't play the Trini much anymore because it goes out of tune pretty easy and I play hard but it sure does make some sweet notes - especially blues.
