guitar_randy Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I'm just curious why some member list "my gear list" with anywhere from 10 to 50-60 different pieces of gear under each of their messages they post? Not ridiculing or complaining about them, just don't understand what that's for and wondering? Is that for people that frequently trade stuff or something?

Autumn Light&Shade Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Hi guitar_andy, I find the gear lists useful, especially if you are thinking of buying a new piece of gear, can always ask that person the pros and cons. As for my own gear list it stops me from buying a duplicate lol! kind regards, Emma:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deeman Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 anywhere from 10 to 50-60 different pieces of gear under each of their messages Wrong I listed only 3 However, i do have some more guitars to add now... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveinspain Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 It's not a gear list, it's what ever appears in each members signature... What you have in your singature will automátically appear in what ever you post... You can turn off this option if you so desire… I only list my guitars. Why, because we like it…!

surfpup Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Be thankful that I don't list my gear Exactly. Mine would be long, but guys like the Rev, and Retrosurfer and quite a few others have lists that would bog down the whole Internet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEADKNOCKER Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Over at the MyLesPaul Forum I list my 3 electric "Gibsons" in my signature But I'm with the others that if I was to list every piece of gear, Electric Guitars, Basses, Acoustics, Lap Steels, Keyboards, Organs, Amps, Drum machines etc. You'd be thinking to yourself WTF? is that a Reverb sales ad or what? Where? How Much?? It is neat to see what others have to strike up conversation over though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigzag Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I'd be more impressed by someone's playing than by their collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
