What do you collect?

[Ace]

Mostly scars. Also empty water bottles. I also sort of collect knives, I have maybe 6 or 7, nothing fancy just cool stuff I find at pawn shops for $10 on tour.

I have a bunch of horror movies, but I can't afford any right now, and I don't have a TV anyways. Or anywhere to PUT a TV really, since I now officially live on my singer's couch(that girl is like a sister to me!) I have maybe 100 total, not a giant collection by any means(my drummer must have 500), but they're pretty bizzare and fun to watch. I also have a lot of Hot Wheels, locked away in a closet somewhere...

I have probably 400cds and probably close to 250dvds... but my real passion:




My latest score, an Israeli IDF Army Issue Armalite AR-7:

I just remembered that I did used to collect something.

When Living Colour broke up back in '94, I started to track down any of their singles, videos, bootlegs, the comic book, solo projects, tab books, etc. that I could find. Although I'm a tight-fisted bastard, and I don't need ANYTHING so much that I'll drop big cash on it, so if the price was too much for an item, I would wait for a cheaper one to come along. Not much of a collector really.

I don't collect anything

[MBreinin]

I have collected so many things other than guitars. However, I guess cars, vintage shotguns and watches would be the meat of it. I have owned probably 250 watches, I have had around 30 cars in my 20 years of driving and I guess about 50 guns passed through my hands. Vintage American doubles used to be my passion...although I have had some nice repeaters as well. My biggest score would be the presentation grade Remington Model 29 that I backdoored off of Auction Arms in 1998 for $700. That gun was made at the height of the depression and cost more than a car at the time, unreal engraving and checkering/carving..highest grade Circassian Walnut stock. A pump gun that cost more than a car when new. I never should have sold it...but it went in trade for an English boxlock pigeon gun, because I was shooting alot of ZZ's back then.

Fool.

I also had an amazing Meriden Arms/Aubrey double that was also a presentation grade cutom guitar with Krupp barrels, ejectors, very high grade stock and engraving as well. Was featured in an early Double Gun Journal article by Russ Ruppel. Extremely rare gun, especially considering that Meriden/Aubrey was Sears own gun line and most were junk utility grade guns. This was the second Krupp barreled ejector Meriden I had...the first had 32 inch tubes and was one hell of a duck gun.

I can't get back into thinking of all of the cool stuff I once owned and sold because I HAD to have something else..it will make me cry...especially when I think about the '63 Strat and the '59 DC LP Special in TV yellow that were sold for the '70 Cutlass W-31 ragtop I HAD to have in 1992.....or the Perazzi MT6 with two sets of barrels and the A-5 Classic I sold in 1999 because I HAD to have another SVO Mustang....
