I'm gonna try and list the instruments I own and have owned. More to see if I can remember and get them in order (and before I forget forever lol). This would be over the last 23-24 years I guess.

Ok guitars first (because I started on them)

Gibson Epiphone Strat - Hockey Stick headstock, maple fingerboard, HH, All black with black pickguard.

Aria Pro II, White body, rosewood fingerboard, black pups HSS, locking nut and floating(ish) trem. Chrome hardware.

Charvel Spectrum in seagreen with a white scratchplate. SSS.

Jackson Dinky LT in blue with slight sparkle. HSS active relex silvers pups. Floyd Rose.

A Yamaha Pacifica. Natural finish. HSS.

A PRS copy (can't remember the make). Preferred it to actual PRS's I'd tried lol.

A Tanglewood semi acoustic in quilted dark blue.

A Takamine copy - semi acoustic bowl back with the wooden leaves on it.

A Fender Squire Stagemaster. Candy Apple Red, white pickguard. Reverse headstock. HSS. Floyd Rose. Fitted a DiMarzio Super Distortion HB to it.

A Les Paul copy - No Brand Franken-guitar that I put together from scratch with everything bought from EBAY (Still chooping and changing things on it and more work needed but that's what it's for).

Out of those I still have the Jackson Dinky, the Takamine copy, The Squire Stagemaster and the Les Paul copy.

Basses.

A Hohner Jack (Headless). Black

An Aria pro II magma in Red.

A Fender Jazz. Traditional colour with white pickguard.

An the 'Vintage' MM copy.

I think that's them all. Bound to have forgotten something, maybe not. Will there be any more? ..... maybe. :D I'm kinda thinking about and always looking for a Charvel Spectrum on EBAY. It didn't suit me soundwise way back when but I still think it looks cool. It would get new pups fitted to it if I did go for one. My other pipe-dream, memories of youth would be an Ibanez JEM in psychedelic swirl (Stevie Vai). Basswise, well a proper grown up MM of course.

In the next installment I'll try and remember the amps and effects I've owned and still own. Then there's the recording equipment. You would think I was a professional. You would be mistaken. An over enthusiastic amateur. Professional acquirer probably. :D

Thanks, traveller1st -- I always like to see what different kinds of stuff people collect and play, and what they hang on to and why.

I've had:

Cheap Peavey black beater bass, year unknown (sold it)

1979 chocolate-colored fender p-bass, heavier than heck but amazing sustain (traded it)

1995 Guild acoustic guitarron (Mexican bass) with terrible pickups (still have it)

1973 brown fender mustang short scale (my main electric, love this bass)

1990 Kaye upright 3/4 acoustic bass with tension pickup (still have it)

I dream of an American-made fender fretless j-bass -- maybe someday.

Probably still the Jackson. Plays like a dream. Here's some photos of them from a few years back, not that they've changed lol.

Here is my latest purchase. I am lately REALLY into Gypsy Jazz guitar. This is a 'Paris Swing' Model GG-39, and it sounds great!

Please ignore all the computer equipment and stuff, there is too much of it to get it out of the way...
