I was just having this conversation with my wife a few days ago. I have a considerable amount of gear. Way more than anyone needs. But when it comes down to it, if shit ever hit the fan and a massive gear purge was necessary, I have two items that I will never sell or trade under any circumstances:My 1975 Les Paul Deluxe. Not only the best sounding and feeling guitar I've ever played, but my grandfather, who I was super close with, helped me purchase it almost 19 years ago. Other guitars are cool and all, but in the end none even compare to this one. Just my opinion.My 1973 Traynor YBA-1. I haven't had this too long so it may seem weird to hold it so dear. But I've owned a lot of amps over the years and will no doubt continue to buy others. This amp is the sound I hear in my head. Is it modded? Is it stock? I don't know. But it sounds like the best Marshall ever built and I inevitably come up with riff after riff effortlessly when plugged into it.Oddly I don't really have a bass I'm super attached to. I tend to gravitate towards cheap basses that are easily replaced. Though you might have a hard time talking me out of my Squier Affinity P/J with Dimarzios.
