There was a time when I knew where I purchased every guitar, amp, guitar part, or anything else I own.
Now w/geezerdom setting in half the things I have no idea where they came from.
Anything you have you're blanking on?

I can remember where they all came from.
I do forget other stuff that I know I shouldn't, though.
The time to be scared will be when you suddenly realize that you've just won your own E-Bay guitar auction...

still on top of the music stuff but there are some tools and other odds and ends around the house that I don't remember how I got them.
The rationalisation for this is - if it is important to you, you will know.

Being an obsessive "historian", I've kept a mini-write up of each guitar, bass and amp I own, including where I got it, when and how much I paid. Eliminates the need for that "memory" you speak of.

I don't have that much stuff. I do, however, have some stuff that I no longer know how to use. I had a pretty well-stocked pedal board when I was gigging in a cover band because I was trying to nail quite a few different tones for the various stuff we covered (Buddy Holly to Green Day and Papa Roach and everything in between).
When I stopped gigging, I played almost exclusively through a vox tonelab board into headphones. I've recently been experimenting playing with an amp and wanted to drag out some pedals for fun. I have several Keeley modded pedals that have extra switches on them that I have no idea what they do.

Nope, well aware of the origin of all my guitars, amps, pedals. I do have an SM57 that I'm a little sketchy on.

"Now...where the heck did I put those mini-write-ups?!"

Lately I've been breaking out some guitars I've not played in a while and their origin always comes to mind when I do. For instance, I have my Gretsch 6119HT '62 out and I always think I bought it back in '04 but, it turns out I bought it in ' 06. I remember going to my local GC looking to try one out and maybe buy one but, they didn't have one. At that point the store manager suggested I look at the beautiful 6120 he had on hand and 'take it home' and give it a work out so, I did. It was like test driving a car as it was sort of on loan to me. Anyway, I ended up buying it after I informed the manager that the case comes with as he tried to sell me the guitar and case separately. Heh, I don't remember when that was but, it was before the 6119. I don't have the 6120 anymore as I sold it back to GC for a decent price. I've written this in the 'longwinded way' in order to remember what I said here today incase I forget.  |

Memory tells me I left a bunch of stuff at your house a while back.
Is it ok if I come pick it up? 😀

I probably have a few pedals in this category. Time for some new listings on Reverb.

I once found a FN-FAL rifle under my couch when moving out from my ex.
it's large, obtrusive, and expensive.
Admittedly, I had a half dozen+ at that point, but I knew them all.
