My brain is starting to become somewhat curious. That roomful of amps along with the guitar collection has to belong to someone that's made their career (and done very well) in the music industry.

First thoughts were someone like Neil finn but the gear doesn't exactly ring true. The plot thickens!

Just pull up the popcorn and watch the Green God Tales thread. Should be fun!
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

I'd like to see it all in one Bonamassa-like 'show us your whole set up' pic.

If you spent any time browsing forums like TGP you would surmise that the majority of larger musical hardware collections are owned by enthusiasts few of them being what would be classed as rock stars. It's a much easier habit to form overseas where availability is not an issue.

Haha I wish I could keep them in my house but certain individuals prefer furnitures than works of art. If I had it my way Id have a bean bag, a Half stack or a Combo then guitars all around. Remember that scene in I Love You Man? That Man cave haha.
Thanks for that reference. Never heard of that movie so watched it last night. Quite funny.
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

some true beauties here...and I have hankered for several of them.

My current favorite gat is my own number 15. Its the one that sits on its own stand next ot the computer not in the rack against the wall...
It plays nice, sounds nice and looks nice...what more could I want.
