I play guitar for about 3 years now. I own a:

BC Rich Metal Master
http://goodvibrations.co.nz/images/METLM.jpg
This was my first electric guitar. I don't like the drawing on it so I'm thinking about recoloring it.

Jackson RX D10
http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e350/de_nick/images.php.jpg
This one is new from last week. It's a really great guitar and it looks hardxcore

Further I play on a 25W BC Rich amp (was included in the starters kit), a Jimi Hendrix wah-wah, and a Boss distortion pedal (which I barely use)

[Tyler_Legrand]

I own a viola. I practiced it (started on the violin actually) since I was six.

Recently I finally moved it to my college room right here! :fmita:

Violas can be electric and hardcore and stuff too, though I don't think I have enough devotion for such a purchase to be worthwhile:

[ilovebrownies]

I play an Ibanez RG 370DX


Through a Vox ad120VTH amp.

[Kenneh]

I play a shitty black strat copy.

I have a multieffects pedal, wah included. I'd pick the most brutal distortion and settings I could find and just improvise on random songs I never heard of, yea, lots of fun.

I play blues, southern rock, metal, metalcore, post-hardcore, deathcore, grindcore, goregrind, death metal, you get the point. And ofcourse acoustix for the chix :heya:

[Dr. Mumbo]

Well, first off is my Epiphone Les Paul Classic (The picture is a standard rather than classic, but mine is the same body style and color.)

And here is the Epihpone 70's something. No clue what the model is.

I also play on a Ludwig Accent set. (nothing special, no picture)

[daweydd]

I play a Johnson 5-String Bass, I'm not sure what kind of amp I have, I got it from a friend. But it's not very good. I just started earlier this year.
I also play a Yamaha 4 Valve euphonium. I've been playing that for five years.

[Mr.Suicide]

I play a Jackson C20 Concert Bass 4-String. (Transparent Black Finnish)

http://jacksonguitars.com/products/prod_images/basses/2919003522_md.gif

and a Fernandez Retro-rocket (Cream Finnish) with about 300$ worth of new electrical equipment and pickups added.

and on a Marshall MG100HDFX/MG412 Slant Cab Half Stack

http://img3.musiciansfriend.com/dbase/pics/products/regular/7/8/3/266783.jpg

I have played bass for about 4 years and guitar for 1.

Sadly my old Mbox broke and my midi controller is missing in action, and I don't have the money to replace them, so my "music making" is kind of on hold.

[bizzle]

I'm just going to go ahead and up Tempest on everything here.

Fender Strat (Made in Mexico)



A really old Peavey Bandit 65 Watt. It's about 30 years old. It needs a new speaker and the foot switch is lost, so it's stuck in overdrive. =/

http://www.bostonguitar.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/peavey-bandit-65.jpg

I've also got a Dunlop Crybaby.

http://www.actsofvolition.com/images/dunlop_crybaby.jpg

I use Audacity to record stuff, nothing special. I've been playing for a little over five years now.

Black Washburn Dreadnought acoustic. My baby <3

http://www.guitariste.com/articles/img/407-big-behringer-vintager-guitar-pack.jpg
stfu, my first guitar/amp. :V

I can't find a picture of the guitar my friend lets me use online. I'll look for it later.

Hopefully I'm getting a black Ibanez SZ720. Those things are awesome.

[Android]

For live performance with my band I use a 1978 Gibson Grabber Bass:
http://homepage3.nifty.com/JACK-BASS/bass%200261.jpg
Through one of these
http://www.guitareffectspedals.com/bassmicrosynthbig.jpg
and this distortion pedal.

My Synthesizer:
http://www.portlandmusiccompany.com/keyboards_pics/lrg_microKORG.jpg
and my drum machine:
http://www.vintagesynth.com/roland/images/mc505.jpg

I have several other guitars, basses, synthesizers, pedals, and drum machines. But what I posted are a few of my favorites.

[fabz]

I play a nice Larrivee six string acoustic with a LR Baggs M1 Active pickup through a LR Baggs Para DI for live shows. (lol...live shows...) peep it here. http://www.larrivee.com/flash/products/guitars/LV-03RE/lv03re.html

I also have a Gibson SG Standard in cool Natural Burst. When I need to I play that through a Vox amp.

http://www.gibson.com/Files/img/SGStandardLE-natburst.jpg

I also have a custom P-bass and other custom not-finished guitars.

[Taerran]

Oi! lol.

Looks like I'm the first drummer to post.

My kit is made up of a 5 pieve Verve Vibemaster, Pulse Rototoms, Attack Drum Heads, as well as a 2 ply Remo Pinstripe heads on my toms. I have a 14" Zildjian Hi hat, 14" Zildjian crash, 20" Zildjian Ride, and not pictured is my new 18" Sabian Medium Crash. Uh.. not much else... my kit also sports a kickin pearl cowbell, and a dixon double bass pedal.

[Metal Angel]

I own an Encore Bass Guitar. It's cheap, but it gives a nice sound and it's quite easy to play. And my girlfriend loves it to pieces (yes, sorry ladies, you had your chance).

A picture with my bass next to her's (don't ask me what it is. I can't remember - all I know is hers is more expensive and mine is BIGGER!):

[Mr.Suicide]

Banjo :fmita:

I played Cello for 6 years. I havent picked mine up for about half a year now though.

[Allen]

My electric guitar is a B.C. Rich Bich:

http://www.mooresmusicemporium.com/images/10325.jpg
It's great for metal (which I don't really play anymore), but it works well for just about any style, so I love it.

My acoustic guitar is an Ovation:

http://www.ocie.com/images_products/ovation_1778lx_s14286.jpg
It's an acoustic/electric actually, and I love it to death. It has one of the most amazing sounds of any acoustic I've ever played, and it's damn sexy.

My amp is a Behringer half-stack with a V-Tone Head (their V-Amps are too much money for not that great a product):

http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/shop_image/product/312ee43616e7e74a8ea093bd034a872e.jpg

So I love me.

I also use a Sennheiser E815 (my first mic), and a Shure SM57 for vocals:

http://www.caretec.at/typo3temp/pics/3426705c89.jpg
http://www.productwiki.com/upload/images/shure_sm57.jpg


And I actually own a banjo. I'm okay with it. And I play piano, but I'm not going to GIS an old Story & Clark piano picture.

[barr]

OK my stuff!

My pride and joy, my Fender Jaguar barr guitar-

http://www.slappyto.net/Dossiers/data/news/JaguarRed.jpg

And my Laney RB4 160W bass amp =]

http://www.imuso.co.uk/images/Product/EG01141.jpg

[drunkchuck]

I play an American Deluxe Strat V-Neck

http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/1475/50thdeluxe300x407qm1.jpg

I didn't know it was the 50th Anniversary one until I brought it home.

I also got a Gibson Songwriter Deluxe

http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/7249/p15557h74cfa200c3c46cd4qs5.jpg

and a Crybaby Wah and a Digitech Distortion Factory pedal

http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/193/29586fim7.jpg
http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/892/displayod5.jpg

I play it all through a little 15W Marshall, been playing for 2 1/2 years now.

[Metal Angel]

Two bassists under one roof? So who is the better bass player Andro?

She is. Though she'll say otherwise.

I'm more of a singer, really.

[InTransit]

I've been playing guitar for about 5-6 yrs. My two babies are my:
-Epiphone Dot 335 hollow-body electric
-Maton 225 Dreadnaught Accoustic
(Actual photo)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/grinace/IMGP1384.jpg

I also have a Roland 30watt amp:
http://www.midimusicshop.net/Roland%20Guitar/CUBE30Big.jpeg

Also have a Skylark classical guitar, Yamaha classical guitar, Yamaha 3/4 classical guitar, a random assortment of pedals, some cheap ass piano keyboard (have been playing for 15 yrs), a basic recorder (playing 14 yrs), and can't remember the brand of my mic but I've been singing for 15 years.

I think that's it. I'll be getting a new amp, keyboard and violin when I move out and have more room. I can only kinda play violin, as in I no longer make horrible wailing sounds, but I can't do anything fancy. I don't have one to practice on at the moment, so I can't really learn anything.

[CnGy]

I'm awesome at guitar but I'm not spoiled kthnx.

[InTransit]

I wish I was spoiled. I had to get a job and pay for everything of mine myself, apart from my first keyboard when I was 8. My first guitar was the 3/4 classical that was a 30yr old hand-me-down from my Mum.

[Derelict]

I've been playing guitar since I was about 6 or 7, so that's around 10 years or so. I've also been playing the piano and violin since I was 5 but I haven't even touched my violin for a very long time.

The guitar I play the most is my Taylor 210. It's my cheaper acoustic but I love it, it has the best sound I've heard out of any guitar under $1000. I also have a Fender Electracoustic JZM and a Fender Highway which I play through a Hot Rod DeVille amplifier. I don't play the electric much anymore, but I occasionally pick it up to jam with my brother.

[gtrst7711]

I've got a mexican Fender Strat that I've had since I started playing about 5 years ago. I've also got an Oscar Schmidt OE30 piece of shit semi-hollow body that is in pieces since I repainted it a few months ago. I'm trying to get it back in working order, which is not going so well.

I'm currently thinking about getting an Ibanez acoustic-electric that I saw at Guitar Center. I played a few times, and it plays great. So I'll probably be getting that one sometime in the near future.

For an amp, I've got a Roland Cube 15. Yea, all I've got is a practice amp. Pretty sad.

I've got a Digitech RPX400 for a digital effects pedal. I love that thing. And then I've also got a Dunlop Crybaby wah pedal.

[Tempest]

I'm just going to go ahead and up Tempest on everything here.

You know what? Fuck your face. :( I didn't have to pay for any of mine though, except the midi controller.. A friend of mine bought about $20,000 worth of old studio equipment off someone for about $5,000, and he gave me the Reason and Cakewalk discs, plus the Mbox.

[CheesePlease]

I've been playing guitar for over a year now and currently I have:

http://img382.imageshack.us/img382/5546/pic0119wd5.jpg

That badass motherfucker. Les Paul Custom II, Mr. Skully edition. I have that guitar but my amp is the shittiest thing to ever grace the earth.

Now I'm working towards purchasing:

http://www.voxamps.co.uk/valvetronixxl/images/245_AD100VTXL.jpg

100W Vox Valvetronix-XL.
And:

http://www.guitarsfromhell.com.au/images/vendettasm.jpg

The Dean Vendetta Revenge. Unfortuneately both of these things are going to put me in the toilet by around $3000. It'll be so fucking great when I do get my hands on them, though. I'm still yet to get any FX pedals or anything, I know the name of a really good one I just haven't found a need for it.

EDIT: InTransit has the same guitar case as me. :D

[Android]

Cheese Please, I love that skull guitar! It's a Les Paul? How much did it set you back?

[Allen]

I wish I was spoiled. I had to get a job and pay for everything of mine myself, apart from my first keyboard when I was 8. My first guitar was the 3/4 classical that was a 30yr old hand-me-down from my Mum.


I know what you mean. I hate kids that come along thinking they're outshining everyone with what their parents bought them. I've bought and paid for all my gear with money I worked hard for. The only thing my mom helped me with was my amp. In which she gave me a little bit of money for my birthday to go towards it (like $100 when it was a $400 set).

[CheesePlease]

Cheese Please, I love that skull guitar! It's a Les Paul? How much did it set you back?

It cost me around $400 off eBay. I'd been looking everywhere for one for about 5 weeks and I decided to try one last look on eBay and voila! There it was. I was fucking ecstatic. It took me forever to pay my parents off for it, though. The best thing is I haven't seen anyone else with the same guitar, I feel special.

[Kenneh]

I'm awesome at guitar but I'm not spoiled kthnx.
My guitar sucks and its just around 100 dollars :indiff:

[Vyyescheslav]

I have a crappy Stratocaster copy that I bought on eBay for 50 bucks. And an 8-watt amp that barely works and sounds awful.

[thadood]

I'm going to be that jerk that doesn't resize pictures for forum posts..

Genz Benz El Diablo. Picture isn't mine, but it's basically the same setup I have. I recently retubed to KT77 power tubes and various pre tubes.

I have a BBE 482i in the effects loop, which I'm contemplating getting rid of =p

3 valved over the shoulder for marching. Like that one, but bigger because I think that's a euphonium (best pic I could find).

For some reason it's a pet peeve of mine that when someone mentions musicians it's all guitarists who respond.
I want to see more wind musicians here!

[innerearth]

I played trombone in high school if it makes you feel better.

[Fodniethan]

My main instrument is the drumkit, which I've played for just over 7 years. At the moment I play an electric kit, but soon I'll get around to selling it and buying an acoustic which I much prefer (and since the electric is worth more than the acoustic I'll make a profit, yay). Then like practically everyone else in the world I play the guitar, usually my Yamaha Pacifica but sometimes I get to play my dad's Fender Strat.

I also play piano, alto saxaphone and oboe.
