what's your gear?

since we have quite a few musicians here, i ask, what's your wepon of choice?
mine are a fender gemini acoustic, gibson explorer, and a jackson pro rhoads ex played through a marshall halfstack, with a DOD deathmetal pedal and an old ass boss processor.

god bless the sovtek mig 100. and the centaur distortion pedal (a hot tip from that Karate guy). and my fav: the cheap eastern fender telecasters. the royal sampler. cheap fender banjo that i'm afraid to tune.

I have a roland space echo tape delay and a 'big jam space driver' distortion pedal. The rest of my noise making stuff is much more boring and I'm a horrible mucisian so that's all I'm gonna say.

metal in the spine AND a space echo!
sweet.

do you ever make tape loops so long you have to keep the top of the SE off?

Oh man, here we go...

I play...
1980 Les Paul Standard
1990 Les Paul Studio
Marshall JCM900 100w head
Mesa V30 4x12 cab

Guild dreadnought acoustic
Epiphone jumbo acoustic

I have but rarely play...
70s Hagstrom Swede
Fender Toronado
Fender P-Bass Lyte
and a shitty no-name mandolin

Nah, I just keep the loop short enough that it can hang out in the little tape corral thingy. I do take the top off every now and then just to watch sometimes.

Well, it's gotta be:

Mapex M-series 4-piece drum kit
Sabian Pro/Solar cymbals
Cheapest drumstix I can find (currently £3 a pair!)
Cowbell
And the occasional harmonica / kazoo.

I used to play acoustic guitar, but I sold it back in 1995 so I could see Metallica at Monsters of Rock in Donington. And it was worth it! P$

Check out my band here...please!

jealous of the space eho

Everyone covets my space echo. The beauty of it is that I bought it for somewhere around $60.00 way back around '88 or so.

Guild D55 Dreanaught acoustic guitar.

The rosewood gives it an incredibly warm tone. It will make love to you.

I'm looking into picking up an American Calssic Telecaster after x-mas (I hope).
