God doesn't need to know what time it is.

I've never understood or related to the fetish for expensive watches. UK reviewer Ken Kessler is a collector, occasionally dropping a watch reference into a review. There in no time, man, only the eternal present. Unless you have to be at a record store when it opens. ;-)

Now old guitars and drums, there's something worth spending big money on. Neil Young owns Hank Williams' Martin acoustic, Marty Stuart Clarence White's B-Bender Telecaster. I own one of Jim Gordon's (Derek & The Dominos, etc.) Camco drumsets. None of his cymbals, unfortunately. He played the best I've ever heard. The worst? Ginger Baker's. Real trash can lids. 

Wow...you think that EC can actually play. But then you talk about a pretend friend in the sky too, so....

Bdp24-

Now and then I wonder  just how ridiculous my spending would be if I were in that league-01%?

Sure would love to wrap my hands around a few classics normally unobtanium to mere mortals. The drum kit you have certainly is of more "value" to me and I don't play!

I appreciate fine timepieces, wouldn't  object to having even a " budget" Rolex, but not my thing.

One LP, Strat and a beat up Deluxe Reverb keep me occupied. 

Secretguy-what a silly comment.  How's  YOUR music career going?

The Deluxe Reverb (blackface, of course ;-), my favorite amp. Dwight Twilley’s long-time guitarist Bill Pitcock IV (now RIP) used a pair of them with an MXR digital delay between the two, with an ES335 plugged in. Awesome live sound!

When I recorded with Evan Johns in Atlanta, his Deluxe was up in British Vancouver, so he plugged his Tele into the studio’s black face Super Reverb, and cranked it to 10. Loudest thing I’ve ever heard! One Fender I really dislike is the Twin Reverb---too metallic/brash for my taste, though Mike Bloomfield made his sound pretty damned good (with a Les Paul).

The best live guitar sound I’ve heard was that of Ry Cooder. He had a pile of a half-dozen old combo amps: Fender, Gretsch, Ampeg, etc. And his playing? The best I’ve ever heard. This is related to the topic of the post because when Ry played his little solo in John Hiatt's "Lipstick Sunset", it felt like time stopped. The single greatest musical experience of my life.
