About 15 years ago I was in the 30+ range....low to mid range stuff (MIM Fenders, Epis, Ibanez, etc). I thinned the herd immensely due to my ex wife and got down to 7. Then I got divorced and sold more off. And then I started rebuilding. A year and a half ago I realized that I was back up in the 20's of the same low to mid range stuff....so I began to purge again. And that's when I bought my '91 CU24.
And now I'm in the final stages of my current gear purge and have sold just about everything in order to buy higher end stuff. So as of now, I'm down to 6 (5 technically) -
1991 CU24
1996 CE24
2006 CE24 (currently on its way to me)
SE Tremonti Custom
Jasmine A/E (soon to be replaced and then sold)
Jackson bass (technically my sons but he rarely touches it)
I've even thinned out my amps and racks! I'm down to a 2 Channel "H" combo, a VHT Pittbull 45 2x12 combo, Eleven Rack with a TubeWorks amp, a 2x12 cab, a 2x12 combo that I built (JTM 45 type), a 50w Superbass head that I built, and a 50w Superlead/JCM800 type that I built. Oh, and an Ampeg 100 watt bass combo that is mine but I let my son use.
I'm happy with my small collection.....for now.....
