Let's see your rig/gear!
Notable gear in the picture, Rockerverb 50 mkII head, 2x12 open back cab, Gibson ES-137 custom, Gibson LP studio, Fender Ash Strat (korean, but it was the best sounding one on the wall) Fender standard Tele (mini humbucker in the neck) and a Danelectro baritone guitar. What do you guys have stashed in your music rooms?

I'm a singer so I don't have that much gear, but this Simon & Patrick woodland cedar A3T has been a trusty companion.

I grew up with Mark Peavey, we make a lot of parts for various Peavey products at our machine shop. When Eddie Van Halen was using Peavey guitars we machined all of the pieces for them. Eddie came by with Mark and his mom and dad one day to tour our shop. Dude was cool as hell

I've been studying how to build your own guitar and looking for a design that is unique and cool looking. Here are a few that I've found that are really unique that I've liked.

Don't have all the pics on this comp right now, but in my basement is a DW drum kit, a Tama drum kit, all the cymbals and hardware to match, a Marshall DSL100 (first gen), a Mesa Triple Rectifier (early 2 channel, the good ones), a '72 Marshall JMP100 4-hole (loudest goddman amp ever made), a couple cabs (Avatar with V30s, Peavey 5150 cab with Greenbacks), and a litany of Fender Strats, Teles, a Hamer Californian 24 fret, a Gibson SG, among others, and a slew of pedals.

Yes, I spend more on gear than moto stuff Tongue

I will have to wait a few days till the old lady gets out of the house long enough for me to take pictures of it all. I don't want her to see how much of it there really is.

Most of mine are pre-WWII acoustics that a lot of the old blues records were recorded on.

Like some of the guys on here with their vintage bikes, I definitely have a sickness..Grinning

Wow, some of you guys have some great gear. I'm an anti collector. Something I don't use I get rid of it.

Steed, if you're recording, post up some of your stuff. Would like to hear it.
Current project. Please excuse the sloppy solo work. Not practicing enough.

Nothing special going on right now what is worth to share... traveled a lot last summer did some spinnin here and there so production was low key so to speak, some remixes/re-edit and so on

Custom, Maple, 45* Roundover Edges, 22x18 / 14x5.5 / 12x9 / 14x14 / 16x16. Made by a younger guy who used to work for SJC custom drums out of my hometown. Sounds like early 90's alternative, Goo Goo dolls etc. Smile Figured there were too many guitars in here!

White marine pearl and natural hoops to go with that classic 30's - 70's styling.

Nice kit. I could never get on with the whole "lay everything flat" setup style, but it does look pretty cool. Keller shells I'm presuming?

I didn't post pics but I have a DW kit and a Tama kit set up in my basement right now.

Yeah, Kellers. Looking into a C&C Kit down the road with their in house shells to have a modern sounding set and a vintage one for balance.

A flat set up actually helps posture and technique when you really get into it, it allows the body to work more naturally and with high level technique, finger control and using rebound are so much easier with a flat set up. It just lets your body function in the most efficient way possible, it's a common misconception that it's just for image or appeal!

I did see that episode, that was a poorly run company who happens to produce some amazing sounding drums and artful kits, but they didn't have the business sensibilities to really make it work, why I think my buddy left to pursue a career in law enforcement.

Some cool stuff here, post up any recordings you guys have made!

I didn't. Perhaps the guy I got it from used to. He switched to guitar rig and gave me that rig for free. Such a deal.

Hey man, power strips are in short supply! But I probably should get one that reaches the ground... or just add more outlets lower

Jackson sls, Crate and some pedals. Montaya and Yamaha acoustics get the most abuse.

Who among you would be up to doing a collaborative vitard album? I've a good friend that doesn't visit the site but, he's an old motocrosser that is a seasoned drummer with a very nice studio. Just as an experiment and entirely for fun, I think it might be interesting. Capt'n Gibby's Vitard Asylum,,, We could have song titles like, 'No, I haven't heard that.',,, 'What SX Needs', 'Things I Learned on Vital Today'. If nothing else, it might be good for a laugh.
