Guild D50

It's so hard to find that "ONE" right acoustic... when you find it, hang on to it.

I mostly got cheapish junk but the things that are some combination of sentimental and utilitarian enough to be in that category are:

Mid 80's Gibson V
Roland Alpha Juno 1
Ampeg VL-503 3 channel 1x12" combo amp (88lbs!!)
BLA modded nady pra-8 preamps.
Maybe, just maybe my pair of M179's
ATM25
And possibly an EV RE10 that the local library was literally going to throw in the trash. (???)

The rest of it can all come and go as it pleases. I am actually thinking of selling a lot of it off to finance a new macbook pro.

hmmm ... probably:

- KSM 44
- Fender Rhodes 73 Mark I
- Roland RE-201 Space Echo

everything else could go if the price was right.

My '58 Hammond B3. She's beat-up from 10 years on the road (with me), but she still sounds incredible.

Everything else is replaceable.

'73 Les Paul Deluxe, routed out for a pair of "lawsuit era" Ibanez humbuckers. The single heaviest guitar I've ever picked up. AMAZING sound.

Sound City 50 Plus head. I bought it from a pawn shop when I was 18... a LONG time ago. Great sound, and after this many years, emotional attachment. I had the matching 4x12 when I was 18, and I really wish I still had it.

Sound Workshop 1280b. Badass little thing.

'93 Gibson "Howard Roberts Fusion" hollowbody. Plays great. Sounds great.

I'd never sell my EJ owned 1968 Plexi and cab, and my Komet Concorde (Serial 001) with a 68 Marshall Cab. I use an A/B/Y to play them in stereo. EL-34 Bliss.

I also wouldn't sell my 76th Production PRS:

And I wouldn't sell my John Page P-1 (Serial 001) - http://www.JohnPageGuitars.com

Come to think of it, I couldn't sell this 78 Twin that I bought new:

And I couldn't sell any of these guys either. I'm just too attached, and each has its own personality:

Man, I couldn't sell anything.

This is my first post at this great forum - Hello from Atlanta!

- 1982 Gibson SG

If my home were on fire, and I could save one thing (assuming my cat and girlfriend made it out), that guitar would be it.

- my much newer SG

- Sennheiser 441

- Regal dobro

- my [soon to be awesome sounding] Ampeg V4 head

- Marshall DSL100 head (lots of memories playing through it, and I love the sound)

I'm gonna go with my P-Bass as well. The right bass is harder to find than a decent guitar. Its so easy, PBass or Rick and a Bassman or B15. But you gotta find the right ones o' those.

i think it's all for sale - except for the back of the grey squishy stuff between my ears - already gave up the front to make a lining in this biz

Glide, that's a nice concrete floor you got there... Oh yeah, don't even get me started on the ERIC JOHNSON OWNED GEAR!!!! Just found a copy of 'tones' on vinyl the other day. **WOW** took me all the way back to '86 in like 4 seconds. Nice strat in that first pic, BTW.

Hmm, what would I never sell...

*Telecaster with strat neck that I built from parts a few years ago. One of a kind!

*Teac 1/4" 4 track given to me by my rock star uncle in law after I told him on a whim that I was interested in recording. I was 17. Coolest thing anyone ever did for me. Told me he would give it to me, but I didn't take him seriously. He was visiting for Christmas and it showed up on my doorstep about a week later, shipped from california.

*DBX 128 given to me by a friend who picked it up in the early '90s in a thrift store for 5 bucks.

*414 TLII. Got it as payment for the recording and mixing of a whole record in 1994. I love that mic, I could make entire records with only that mic. I HAVE made entire records with only that mic. OK, maybe that mic and...

*EV 357 n/d. Nothing special, but more fun than a 57 and does the same stuff. Traded it for a 65 watt tube Peavy amp in 1988. That mic and the 4 track are the oldest pieces of gear I own.

Plenty of other stuff I will probably never get rid of, but these are for sure. They have special meaning. That seems to be the theme here.

I probably wouldn't sell my Gibsom Thunderbird. Yet.

Man, how times have changed.

I did something risky and traded the 78 P Bass for a year old Electrical Guitar Company bass. I came to the realization that Fender made about eleventy billion P-Basses in 1978 and that I should take a chance with something else. I am glad I did. This probably belongs in the opposite version of this thread though.
