what kind of equipment do you have
October 11, 2011 2:46:11 PM UTC Post #11

Im a keyboard player and I have simple equipment like a Yamaha NP30 Piano and a Roland Juno-D.
Im not really a techhead when it comes to equipment but I strongly believe that all the best gear in the world isnt going to make you a better player,practice will.

Way too much!!!
A couple of strats, a Lp, an Rg, a big jazz box, a cheap jazz bass and the ubiquitous steel string acoustic.
I run them through some sweet pedals (a couple keely modded) and into a pair of Fender amps.

So yes, way too much gear.lol.

Living in an appartment, the only equipment I can have is any digital amp allowing headphones. I currently use a Line 6 UX1 with Pod Farm for patches/presets.

Guitar wise I own a 200$ Meeehican Fender Strat. The guitar I'm playing mainly is a Ibanez Prestige 2820 Limited Edition:



It's got an Edge Pro trem (which is a pain) and some stock Dimarzio pickups. Been thinking of switching those for more Petrucci-like pickups like Liquifire.

What, no drummers here?!

I drum and i use the following:

8x8, 10x9, 12x10, 14x12 Toms
22x16 Bass
14x5 Osan Rockstar Maple snare (main)

I have an 18" Meinl Classics Powerful Crash and a Meinl Classics 10" Mini Hi-Hat too, but i don't use them anymore. Guess i will try to sell them, or trade them in for a china.

Anyway, set my eyes on an Alesis DM8 USB electric kit as well, to practice more silent at home (long live appartments....)

@sixxstring54: revision : I sold the ec-1000 vb to get a ec-1000 fr
The BCRICH BICH is probably a 1981-82 model, the serial #'s were four years ahead.
