Well Mike I'm going to sell some of the Warwicks. I may list them on ebay tonight. Unless anybody here is interested in them.

I remember when I was about 20 years old and gas would hit $0.199 when they would have what we called a gas war.  Now gas war has an entirely different meaning.  Too bad.  I liked the old definition.

Went to $2.47 today.  
Do you have to have a lot of gear to be happy? 19 basses, 10 guitars, a medium size PA, monitors, 7 bass cabs, 3 head rigs, 2 guit amp stacks, a banjo, G5 protools studio, boards, modules, mics and a lot of wires.  I would say that I'm minor league to many of you. Mind you I do drive a 99 Grand Caravan with no passenger seats. Oh, also I have no savings worth a mention. Hey with all the gas money we save we can send a bass back to Santa Rosa for an LED upgrade!
Please know, our European Brothers that my sympathies are with you on your petrol and gear expenses. A VAT would kill me over here.

Ok Ok, 12 basses, 2 guitars, 3 bass rigs, 5 keyboards(1 which went through a fire and still works!), 3 sets of bass pedals(2-midi type 1 old analog set), 2 keyboard amps, 4 EMU synth units, Radial JD-6 and 1 mandolin. As far as the compensation thing goes, I thought that was relegated to guys who drive 'vette's & hog's,LOL? I mean to say I actually use all my gear except for 9 basses, there's only room for three in our truck.The main reason I was able to acquire my gear was that I did'nt have a home for about 6 years. We are always on the road so it just worked out that way. Oh yes, I paid $2.31 today in Tn. It's still not moving down fast enough!

Well, Adam without going into details I can say that you don't win the most gear contest and please, let's leave my Harley out of it. LOL

Let's see...3 basses, 3 guitars, 1 keyboard, 1 bass rig, a couple of wee practice amps...I'm not even in this game, let's switch over to BEER!

okay, okay, I confess, the compensation comment was inspired by the little green monster, lol. And no, I don't need to see the doctor about that, thank you very much. 2 basses, 1 head, 1 pre, 1 cab, 1 combo tempered by 1 mortgage, 1 job, a loving wife and 2 kids that need my time and money more than I do (at least that's what THEY tell me). A hobbyist doesn't need much more than that.
 
Mike

Thanks Mike for putting this all in perspective. I know what they say about ? ?most toys?wins the game?yada-yada-yada,? but in reality, he who dies with the most toys, leaves the most behind. (the most things that is, the relationships go with you)

I'm with Sam. BEER!
I'm nowhere close with 6 basses, 2 guitars, 1 combo, 1 head, 1 preamp, 6 cabinets, 3 power amps and a small to medium PA. I'm not worried about taking it  with me and the kids have already divided the spoils. :-)  
 
Keith

Wow has anybody seen the price of gasoline these days?

OK!!!! quit trying to hijack this thread, what does 6 basses, 2 guitars, 1 combo, 1 head, 1 preamp, 6 cabinets have to do with the price of Big Mac's, speaking of Big Mac's, I think I just hijacked my own thread.  Darn
 
David T

Olie, yeah that's me the ol' kill joy.
 
Beer, ah fonds memories of sitting in the Hoffbrauhaus sipping ice cold Loewenbrau. Munchen was good a place to be at 16.
 
Oh, yeah, this is about gas. Is pull my finger out of place, here?

PeeEEWWW, I wondered who did that.

Don't worry, everyone.  Gas prices will be back up to normal after the midterm elections.
 
Rick

I guess I still have GAS even though my family has 6 bass guitars (and a homebrew bass in progress), 1 bass violin, a cello, a viola, about 10 violins, 2 acoustic pianos, an electronic keyboard, 2 banjos, 2 clarinets, 2 trumpets, 3 combo bass amps and a bass cab.  I didn't have really bad GAS until I bought my first Alembic. I got spoiled by how bass is supposed to sound.
