I had no internet signal so I'm going through old photos on my phone and I see a 6505 head sitting on my cab in my room from 2018. I have ZERO fucking memory of having or even playing that amp. I owned a 6505+ a couple of times and remember that. I briefly owned a block letter 5150 and I remember that. But I have no memory of that 6505. :doh: :LOL:

Power amps from old PA rigs. In fact I just spotted them in the garage last week and was like, "huh, forgot all about those".

Old Crown CE2000s. Wish I knew someone who needed them, I'd give them away. No one uses that heavy shit anymore. That's probably why they're in the garage all forgotten about.

:LOL: Lol, sorry. It was a joke. Just hard to imagine forgetting something that recent

Lol! That was pretty funny. Scary part is no to the meth or any other drug. I've actually been thinking of trying a 6505/5150 again just out of curiosity since I Thought the last time I played one was my block letter back in like 2008. Apparently I revisited that amp in 2018. I wish I could remember how I liked it. :LOL:
 
Yes. Every time I clean the garage, I find amps. Three days ago I found a Metro 100w high gain modded amp. The previous time I found a 50w Bluesbreaker 1x12 combo and one of my Scumback 50w 1987 amps I built in 2007. I can admit to being a hoarder...I have no choice.
 
Not Amps, but I do find pieces of gear that I’ve had for 10-15 years and forgot about every now then. Just never lucky enough for it to be worth anything haha maybe one day.
 
Yeah, I was going to say that I forget about amps that I currently own, I def have forgotten about crap I had years ago,, but I am getting old, so theres that. :LOL:
 
Okay, I looked up my order history on my GC app and apparently I ordered it on June 7th. The picture was from June 17th and it shows I returned it. Maybe there was a problem with it and I wasn't even able to play it. Either way I can't remember anything about it like unboxing it, attempting to play it or even returning it.
Now i kinda want it again. Too bad they're not $499 anymore.
 
No, I've never forgotten about an amp. Maybe packs of strings?

I've probably forgotten how many times ive owned a couple of the really common amps though.
 
to be fair, I love the 5150 series, so I've owned a bunch, and could forget maybe the exact model. The standard/+/II all have their idiosyncrasies, but they are all fun to play IMO. I haven't kept any long term, but I made sure friends of mine got the ones that sounded exceptionally good. I might be dumb, because they still have them, lol. :doh:
 
Not necessarily amps, but I’ve certainly forgot about pedals and pickups and other small stuff. For many years I kept my pedals sitting in milk crates. A year or so ago I pull them all out. Many I’ve never really play for more than a few minutes although having owned them for 20-30+ years. Same with speakers… when I painted my basement floor I had to move everything around. I found some speakers that I forgot about. So I moved them around then put them back where they were. Still don’t use them. 🤣

Like the OP mentioned, I’ve seen pics of gear I’ve owned and don’t really remember having owned stuff. 🤣
 
I couldn’t name all my amps off top of my head but I can remember who from and when I got them when looking at them directly. Guns are a way different story. If it wasn’t for my BATFE book of record I’d say “where the fuck did this come from?”
 
I moved across town almost 2 years ago. Just found a BluGuitar Iridium that I forgot was neatly packed away. Looking forward to plugging back into it!
