My Guitar Collection- How Many Do You Thk I Have? (Song is "Pieces")

[tossturn]

so many guitars and yet music is horrible...

[StereoLightz]

Give me one!

[MeanMrMustard99]

great riff man, keep rocking...ps my axe collection is a little less than yours but still would fit in with yours none the less Cheers!

[kromekrush]

I have to give you props on the Les Paul Double Cutaway. I have one of the limited Tangerine Burst models and I think it's one of the best guitars ever made. Im always shocked that more people didn't grab em while they were in production.

[SLIPKNOTRULESEARTH11]

he has 1 for everyday of the year XD

[artiebassplayer]

@NickR1980 maybe when you get my age and can afford all the guitars you've always wanted when I was your age you'll understand.

[daviegarden]

Very nice collection, particularly the natural les paul, it's beautful, tell me, when did you have to divorce you wife? lol

[artiebassplayer]

@daviegarden wife life in 1994 well before I could afford to start collecting. I've since sold everything and started over.

[artiebassplayer]

@RedTV8888 They can't.. look at the headstock. it's different than Gibson. That's all.

[RedTV8888]

why did you spend so much money on all of those knock offs? you could have just bought more gibsons with the money that you saved by not buying a bunch of cheap knock offs. i mean no disrespect, im just wondering

[artiebassplayer]

@RedTV8888 Not one was a knock off. Every guitar is (was) the real thing.. Real Gibson, Real Fenders, Real Heritages, everything is real.. It's too bad you don't know the difference. Nothing was cheap.. I assure you. Most were over $1,000.00 Actually each one sold well over $1,000.00 each. Look at the video again. Maybe there were some models you aren't familiar with... There were Thousands of dollars of guitars there. Check out Heritage and you'll understand why I bought 'em.

[RedTV8888]

@artiebassplayer i just thought the heritage guitars were gibson knock offs. like the ones at 1:57. they just looked like les paul an es 335 copies.

[artiebassplayer]

@RedTV8888 Gibson was in Kalamazoo Mi before Nashville. The employees were given the option to move. Those that didn't opened up Heritage in 1985. So, Heritage is made from the same molds, people and actually a better (quality) guitar than Gibson. Check out Heritage on Ebay. Then check out the prices. I'd have a Heritage over a Gibson any day.... So I guess you'd say they are copies made by the original Gibson employees. You know the Gibson's from the 60s-70s everyone wants....Real Quality

[The170460]

an idea give also your adress to have trouble with yours guitars. It's stupid to put that on the web.

[artiebassplayer]

@The170460 Well, It doesn't matter anymore because I've sold 'em all and just have 3-4 more left. Even if I still had them they were insured and I would have made more than selling them.... By the way, It's none of your F'en Business.....

[JeffersonDinedAlone]

@artiebassplayer I trust you got a fair price for the wife.

[jman890202]

Did I see a B-3 in there?

[artiebassplayer]

@jman890202 No, That was a New Lowery that I bought an an Auction for 50 bucks.. I figured Why Not...

[TheRealSonicYouth]

@artiebassplayer you sold all your guitars :( why? why would you do such a horrid thing?

[stratobagster]

i liked your dc standard. i would love to find one where i live, but they are getting scarce. very nice assortment, i'll bet it's fun recording with you.

[artiebassplayer]

@stratobagster Yea it was a nice guitar.. Very bright. Nice sound... I should have kept it. Oh Well...Hindsight.

[bloc22]

Not a single Jaguar anywhere to be seen :(

[artiebassplayer]

@bloc22 Yea I know...and agree. Jaguar's are nice... I played a 6 string Jaguar bass once it was really nice.. I had a chance to get one for $400 bucks 20 years ago and the wife said "NO" so I didn't. I wish I'd find one now for $400..

[bloc22]

@artiebassplayer Yeah good luck at finding one for 400 now. I just bought a Candy apple jag with matching headstock color and I paid 900 for it.  Gah.....it's worth it to me haha I have to have it.

[shonymusica]

What an amazing collection of beautiful guitars, make sure you label the guitars at the antilosta website just in case you loose it one day, I have all my valuables labeled with antilosta and recently had an expensive camera returned back to me after having lost it away from home in one of my gigs.

[artiebassplayer]

@shonymusica Thanks... Good Idea but I've sold them all. Daughter needed an attorney and you know they are just things that can be replaced.. Even sold my "Ric" that I had for 11 years and loved. Like I said they are just a thing.. I've recently bought a Jazz Bass (Very Nice and fun to play) and a Epi Sheraton (like a 335) and I still got the Black Strat.

[HazardousLime]

How much did it cost for all of it?

[guitaroyaji200]

Hey brother!

In Japan, it is called "akusyumi"(mean bad hobby.)

[MOSKII58]

@artiebassplayer do you regret selling them .. i sure regret everythg i've ever sold every instrument....

[allaboutdatGDA]

@artiebassplayer thats cool. i did to. extreme ways by moby.

i have an es335.. it covers it.

[alucard123death]

@artiebassplayer why did you do that i mean i get your wife but the guitars come on!

[timberland1108]

you got to record with Dick Wagner thats awesome.you have a nice collection. I only have a fender strat and a les paul

[artiebassplayer]

@timberland1108 Yep.. I recorded 7-8 records with Dick Wagner. He was a big part of our group "The Cherry Slush" He was more or less our music director for many years.. (While he was doing the Frost and Bossman)

He's a great guy....

[timberland1108]

@artiebassplayer thats cool. nice collection you got. hard question coming up lol what one is your favorite?

[TheFirstcake]

hav u tried customizing your on colOR ???

[schopper456]

I know how many guitars you have........ you have to many >.>

[DuBoyyyUltralord]

Can I download the song somewhere?

[metallicafan00000001]

i think you have in 40 to 51 guitars

but i think u have 51

[HarrowingWinter]

@TheCJDanger I'm a woman and I have my guitars and only 2 pairs of worn out shoes XD

[allaboutdatGDA]

@HarrowingWinter isnt that guitar may really cute?

[gimmythad]

Wow, that's really cool. I guess the influence couldn't be hidden. Thanks for the reply.

[gimmythad]

Your song has an Alice Cooper vibe.

[artiebassplayer]

@gimmythad Yea,,, I had Dick Wagner (Alice's lead guitar) teach me some stuff on the bass when we were recording with him in the 60's before his time with Cooper... I thought I'd name the band (all me) "King Arthur Cooper" actually it was suggested to me by one of Wagner's studio engineers...

[rightwingted]

@artiebassplayer You sold all!?!?!?

[DuBoyyyUltralord]

Nice!! What is the band name of the song??

Awesome played. Did you sing it?

[artiebassplayer]

@DuBoyyyUltralord -- it's all me....Recorded in my studio... The only thing that isn't me is the drum machine... Recorded right direct into the recorder.. No effects. Old School... The singing (if you want to call it that) is me too.

[artiebassplayer]

@DuBoyyyUltralord .. Oh yea.. there is a waw waw in it.. I forgot..

[DuBoyyyUltralord]

@DuBoyyyUltralord Cool! But what is the name of the band that wrote the song? Or album name?

[artiebassplayer]

@DuBoyyyUltralord I wrote the music.. The words are an old 50's 60's song

[NINI19951995]

do you have a good guitar to sell me?????

[gamerdude1989]

what do you prefer to play? lead / rythme or bass guitar?

[Glockenator]

I think I count 22

[cronus4rock]

@Glockenator i think you just looked at the uploader comments

[Glockenator]

@cronus4rock I think you should have paused the video and counted before making stupid comments

[DoubleBarrelGuitar]

1:14 That Les Paul dc is rare! My brother has one in blue and black burst and it's fantastic! Also nice collection..

[criticalcaleb]

i just want 1 of them... you choose lol.. I can't afford a knock of strat let alone all these genuine one of a kind guitars. Nice collection

[TristanMachuwano1998]

I have 8 guitars in my house =|

[scotty688]

@artiebassplayer you sold all your guitars? correct me if i'm wrong, but thats how I got it.

[augusrockhouse23]

I think I'll never be able to sell any of my guitars, I just can't. Only if it's a crappy one or it's a Tele (hated them every since I saw one)

[picosim2]

only thing i didnt see a strat with a floydrose........

[themanchild27]

since you have so many and can afford so many i would be more than gratefull if you could donate on to me since my family cant afford one

[midgetrocker36]

[smallbig96gs]

[RuneScapeFront]

[KittyScene101]

[skylerm2930]

[artiebassplayer]

[PHR1231]

@artiebassplayer haha ya. same with me. im invested in that guitar, but its a good one! one thats really good though is a american made semi hollow tele!!!! i saw one at guitar center the other day and i tried it out... woah was it awesome!!!

[nimabakshi1999]

[torterra165]

rich...

[conorbob9]

any fat strats up for sale?

[artiebassplayer]

I'm down to 4 guitars.. Sold everything...

[snoper1]

I wonder how long it would take to tune them all up ;D

[syndrome666]

I know this tune, but who's it by?

[syndrome666]

I definitely don't have that many, currently have 5 basses, '07 Fender Jag 4 string, '91 MM Stingray5, '89 Ibanez SR800FL, '89 Ibanez SR800, '93 Ibanez SR800, and getting a '10 Gibson BFG bass in a week. But I did own a few Warwicks in the past, '03VampyreSN5(stolen), FortressRB4(sold), Corvette5STD(traded), Ric4003(traded), 3 other Ibanez SR800s ('99, '01, and '98 all sold), Ibanez '95 SR400FL(sold), 2 '00 Ibanez EDC705(sold), ESP LTD F255(sold), and my first bass that i gave away 98 Dean Edge1

[mrbassman25]

awesome tune man, vocals remind me of Iggy Pop for some strange reason ;)

[MUSICFREAKSINC]

where do you get the money for these?! im a lefty so i only have 3 guitars, Jackson dinkey, Epiphone copy les paul and a gibson acoustic. Nic vid

[Whicol2]

Cool collection----very eclectic.

Different strokes for different folks, some guys are into "rarity" over "quantity," heck I know some guys with two guitars that cost more than your whole collection combined, but when it comes to playing.....not as many options!

[Biojere]

I have some of the same :D

[artiebassplayer]

Two Thumbs Up!

[fordfordfordmetal]

hahaha your like ''everything is for sale! ohh...but no that, and not that, ohh, not that either i like that''

anyway amzing guiar collection that rick 4003 made me crap my pants

[artiebassplayer]

Well, I'm down to 9 guitars. There's 26 in the pictures.. I'm just about ready to start buying again. I'm keeping the Black Strat, My Ric bass, 814 Taylor (not in video) and the 91 wine Les Paul. (maybe the SG) everything else will be gone.

[XzaccYXguitarXplayer]

@TheCJDanger Agreed.

[MoonlightShadowlolz]

Funny that there are no 'rare' guitars in that collection. No offense you have a wonderful collection! But I thought it was funny that you have 22 guitars but all of them are really normal. If I were your age, and had enough money to buy all those, I would have bought Guitars that no one ever heard of..

But that's just me haha

Nice collection!

[ladderqueen27]

If i tell you how many guitars are there

are you up for giving me les paul?

[PumpItUpChick09]

*drool* i am in love ,.... awesomest guitars EVER and you have them!!! omg

[jzmacfish]

if you could save your SG for about 10 years i'm sure i would take it :P

but nice collection ;)

[gus23a]

i´ve got 18 guitars &basses.

3 fender strats, a fender tele, a noname jazz guitar, a rickenbacker 325, a rickenbacker 360/12V64,a rickenbacker 330/12 FG, a rickenbacker 4003 FG, a rickenbacker 4003 JG, an epiphone casino, an epiphone les paul, two hofner 500/1 beatles basses, a hohner acoustic guitar, a fender cd 140 sce acoustic, a martin 12 string acoustic, and a hoyer jazz guitar about 60-80 years old.

i guess i´m close to you. XD

[artiebassplayer]

You're past me. I'm down to 9. I was at 26. I'm going down to 4 and stoping.

[ekipito]

I have a 1993 Fender Strat

a 1964 Guild T-100-D

and I gess i will buy a Gibson Flying V... someday

[ShakingAtTheKnees]

I'm just gonna guess.

69

[KEBISONY]

how much for the SG at 1:02

[artiebassplayer]

Not For Sale.. If you Gave Me $1,800 I'd think about it. Not many like it.

[artiebassplayer]

I used to have a B3.. I got a les paul bass does that count? The ric will never be sold.. It's like an extention of my Left Arm...

[artiebassplayer]

Gone.. I got $1,300 for it. Thanks about the song.. It's all mine.

[artiebassplayer]

Correct

[ashzackyv]

i have 3

1)acoustic

2)black stratocaster

3)red stratocaster

[darkangelglue500]

all i can say is protect your valuables don't let to many people see what you got cuz then greedy ass holes will wanna steal it

but you have a kick ass collection

[artiebassplayer]

Brick Fence.. Two Guard Dogs... High Tech Alarm System.. Grumby Wife... Noicey Kids... and most of them have been sold so they're almost gone....

[darkangelglue500]

@artiebassplayer lol nice

[Daver869]

are they all tuned the same?? One thing I would do if I had a lot of guitars is have each guitar tuned specifically to a different tuning...I love playing in alternate tunings!

[BlooFiouxProductions]

How much for the black on black strat

[artiebassplayer]

Make me an offer.. It's a 2000. It's pretty cool.... I'm really thinking bout keeping it. I had two and got rid of the one that cost more and kept this one only because this one sounds so much better.

[rodneymullenfan17]

how much for that 1998 gibon sg limited edition

[artiebassplayer]

$1,500.00 (I kinda don't want to sell it) It's got a special color on it an it was only offered for a year or so. 98-99. $1,500 will buy it.

[133m4gg0t133]

Oh by the way, you seem to know a lot about guitars, what do you think about a lipstick red strat with a black pickguard?

[artiebassplayer]

Not bad.. American? I got a Red one with a white pickgard..Bass.

[133m4gg0t133]

That is the best original song i have ever heard on YouTube!

[artiebassplayer]

Thanks.. That made my day..

[nemakur]

22 guitars

[artiebassplayer]

Correct.

[Jaustinp4]

dude! i want that sg iv been wanting one so bad how much was it?

[artiebassplayer]

Paid $950.00 4 years ago. It's worth about $1,200 now.. (I think)

[clondan1]

jesus!

[angus4401]

what is the name of the song?

[artiebassplayer]

Pieces

[alistairproductions]

i suppose you have an addictive personality like me?

[strumfellow]

nice collection. although we only have two hands you can never have enough guitars i say

[redredreddd1]

Everything is for sale.......except for nearly everything :o)

[artiebassplayer]

There is 22 guitars in the video. I'm down to 13. If you look on Ebay there's 3 of them for sale...

[redredreddd1]

Thanks. You have some nice pieces, I was just being flippant.Sorry.

[scarda912]

i counted way more guitars than anyone needs.

[artiebassplayer]

Yea... When I'm asked, "How many do I need?".. I answer.."One More"

[scarda912]

I shouldn't even be talking I got way more guitars then i need.

[fredras1]

aaahh friend to me got a tele sing by the hole status quo and think its one of the guitarists guitars

[fredras1]

you looks druged and like a russian mafia guy PS nice guitar collection

[CitySlickerAussie12]

you have alot of fender guitars

[artiebassplayer]

I had a Gold Strat.. It's in the video.. That's close... I like the white ones too. I'll probably have one some day.. along with a white SG....

I got the Nighthawk from Hawaii off of Ebay with no case.. Then a year later got the case.. I think it will be worth some real buckaroos one day...

[xanitech]

hmmm... i'd say about 4! lol!

[BleedYourBlood]

wat is the song

[artiebassplayer]

The words are from an old Peter & Gordon Song and the Music is mine..

[GuitarMafia94]

enough to give me one ?? :P

[211CRM]

nice guitars

good job on the song

[211CRM]

nice guitars.

good job on the song you recorded

[artiebassplayer]

Thanks for your comment.

[mean0machine0]

how much would you sell that SG for?

[artiebassplayer]

I'd need around $1,200 -$1,300for it.. It's got a special color.. only made for a year.

[mean0machine0]

@artiebassplayer oh cool, whats the colour?

[99surfer99]

im a guitar addict too :) there was a question in a guitar mag it said "how many guitars do you need" the answer "one more" :D

[lajevi13]

77 or 76

[Satchfan225]

1:16 the white les paul looks exactly like the one that the singer from Britny Fox uses in the "Girlschool" video. looks amazing.

[artiebassplayer]

Don't you mean how much are they worth... it doesn't matter what I paid.. it's been quite a few years and you won't find them for what I paid.... I figure the 330 is worth around $1,700 or $1,800. The 360 is around $1,900 to $2,200 if I find the right buyer and My Ric Bass is about $1,400- $1,600. That's a guess I haven't looked 'em up lately. I saw the 360 at $2,200 on Ebay...

[steelerkiss]

Heritage 170 cant be a '76. Maybe 86. Heritage wasnt around in 76.

[artiebassplayer]

You're Right... I'm Bad... it was a 86.. I think.. maybe 87? I sold it and I don't remember. Good Eye.

[steelerkiss]

The 170 is my all time favorite. I have 3 along with 24 other various guitars

[FLAMINGSQURLE111]

i bet 25

[artiebassplayer]

22 are in the video

[singtotheking]

Wow! Do you actually find a special, unique purpose for each axe you own? I know there are many different voices of guitars and tunings to explore, but this many? lol

[jim543212]

Hmm. got one, got one, need one of those, that one too, got that one..

I guess the guy who dies with the most wins?

[xx55AC55xx]

u have too many wanna give me some

[MeganMoshpit]

you have some kick ass guitars

[ultimatestreersk8r]

enough!

[fossilisedmuso]

Nice collection there man. Kinda puts my paltry group of 6 to shame. My excuse is I'm left handed so it takes me longer to find stuff worth keeping.

[raveraidenhtid]

you are one lucky man !.!

[parkerh12]

i counted 3

[artiebassplayer]

Correct.. Three Heritage's. Three Fenders.. 6 Gibson.. and 10 more..

[metallica1995996]

i counted 27

that's insane, great job at picking out those guitars man, love em all

[artiebassplayer]

22. Thanks for trying. Most of them are gone or been traded. I'm down to 14 now.

[christianlp12]

i've got 23 playable guitars and about 13 more needing repair

[Ghatoray96]

i dig the night hawk, but only 2 stars man, i dont think its right to colect so many guitars when you hardly play them....

[ooberpwnage]

You are RICH

[Colberto12]

Damn, how much money have you spent over the years?

[rockboy8812]

what model and year is the black rickenbacker at 0:28 and how much??
