Any of you thinking about this. Massive gear purge

[Hard&Heavy]

I have been thinking about moving all but 2 amps and that would be my herberts and also keeping 4 of the front loaded cabs and just moving everything else. including the friedman I just got.

Is there anyone else thinking about doing this?

 

[rlord1974]

This is absurd. Of course not.

 

[rlord1974]

OK, OK. In all seriousness?.....Kind of.

I have recently been dumping high gainers in favour of more vintage-toned, true "boutique" amps. This will be my second time on this particular merry-go-round, but I think it's where I will be happy. Plan on paring down to 4 or 5 amps when it's all said and done.

We should do a quick ampfest before you purge. 1. I want to try out some of the newer amps. 2. We would have video of the amps you're selling!!

Just the other night I was thinking about selling everything except the few pieces with sentimental value.

 

[gtrwun]

Ive started already.......Lots of work left to do tho!

 

[Badronald]

i've never collected tons of stuff. when it comes down to it all i want is a stratocaster, plexi, two boosts, delay, tuner, wah and maybe a chorus. everything else doesn't really matter to me. that rig covers almost everything i do.

for a few days here and there i plug a stratocaster with a suhr aldrich into the triple rectifier. that rig is sick.

^^^This

Quality over quantity, there will be some museum pieces and sentimentality but everything else is going.

 

[mjtripper]

Yup, I've been cutting down on the number of pieces but upping the quality over the past few years and have been way more satisfied. I'm down to two rivera k-tre amps, one a combo and one a half stack, that are my main amps plus one smaller mesa boogie for flavor, guests, grab and go, and whatnot and then just one pedal board. I rarely play the boogie but it's nice when I need it and it keeps guests off my main stuff so I keep it around, it's a nice amp I just prefer the rivera. I play more this way and I enjoy when I play more. I've moved a lot of guitars and basses as well and probably should get rid of a few more but am down to the point where if I HAD to sell one I'm having a really hard time picking one so I think I'm just going to sit tight for a while and try again later. Hard to believe but I'm far happier with less stuff.

No.

I have kinda been doing the same thing, not sure that I could get down to 4 or 5 amps though. My taste in music changes so much that I am trying to have an amp/guitars/pedals on hand suited to what I am digging at the time, I can play any genre that I am into at any given time while trying to ensure that I have the "best" that I can for that music, its a tough thing to do though cause things have to go that I have had for a while.
BTW dibs on the Elmwood M90

Already did it. Couldnt be happier.
2 kick ass cabs and 2 amps.
One amp is just a back up.

I'd sell everything but keep your best Marshall and the Mesa Mark III.

 

[Robotechnology]

If I could get over my massive OCD, I'd do a proper gear purge but, alas I am stuck rationalizing why I need EVERY piece of gear I own as I am getting ready to list anything for sale which usually puts the kabosh on a real sale attempt

 

[Digital Jams]

Due to my wanting a larger boat yes I have been thinging of a massive gear clearance, even the Natas.

I would end up with one great rig and several guitars to keep me happy.

Every guitar player should have a good Marshall.

That's what I did. 100 watt Einstein, Mark III a few guitars and a pedal board.

This is exactly how I feel. I am good with a versatile amp and a few guitars that feel and sound different (depending on my mood). Funny thing, that's where I am at right now.

If I didn't have to deal with shipping, PayPal, I could live with my YJM and sell my other three
