My Rig:

Axes:

Epiphone Korina G-400 with DiMarzio pickups (Super 3 in bridge, Super 2 in neck)

Epiphone G-400 with Rio Grande BBQ Buckers (Nice AC/DC sound)

Dean Icon Phantom

Amps:

Marshall VS100 Head and Mesa-Boogie Single Rectifier Solo head. I blend them together to get a killer tone. I use 2 Bogner 2x12 cabs with Electro-Voice speakers, and a Rogue 4x12 w/ E-V speakers.

Effects:

I've completely eliminated effects from my rig.

Other:

DiMarzio cables and straps
GHS TNT Boomers (.13s)
D'Andrea Jazz picks

Gibson The Paul - very red.
Yamaha Pacifica [customised] , all wood/chrome look - humbucker in middle.

Cheri (really a James8831 now that i've done so much on it :))Telecaster [black and white] with ultra low impedance pickups (rewound), goes with...
.. Home built/kit solid state preamp,usually.

You can laugh NOW... Kramer VTs111 [lake flaccid blue]HEAVILLY customised ..rewound neck Pup, stock middle, Alleged Kent Armstong vintage rear Pup, 7 way switching, an onboard preamp [and a partridge in a pear tree].. makes the cheap little tart almost sound like a lady.

Fender Gemini II Acoustic.

Work in progress is a...Fresher... Les Paul copy[wine red custom] which now has coil tapped pickups from my Ibanez roadstar and ,can anybody guess, ..an onboard preamp..they're cheap it's an obsession..whatever.

Solder
Solder
Solder
Gaffa tape
(insulating tape.. yawn.

Left over Ibanez,Fresher,cheri partszzz)

Some small amps which have been worked over lightly by me and are sometimes hooked up in stereo [dual mono?] including a small Marshall.-- will be gettin a Vox-- soon.

A damn Zoom 505. lots of tools and bits including a stringwinder.

A large bottle of Paracetemol. :D

81 Korean Fender Jazz Bass with EMG pickups.
Deluxe Active Jazz Bass V (needs EMGs)
Dean Rhapsody Semihollowbody Fretless (again, needing an EMG)

Bass Amp:
Sunn 1200s into a 2x15 cab. I need another 2x15 to make this rig work though.

Guitars:
"Purdy"- American Std. Strat body, Japanese neck, Vintage Noiseless Single Coil pickups, five graphite saddles, one stock, other assorted oddities.
Telecaster Special. Needs a new neck pickup.

This THING was my first electric guitar

http://www.argonet.co.uk/users/steverussell/hofner2/hofner2a/broa.jpeg

:D

I was reminiscing with Steve on email about these and almost getting nostalgic about getting one till i found out how much they might cost (up to $200!).

This "guitar",BTW, is one convincing argument against "Vintage is best"..makes Kramer Focii look like American Overdrive, Doubleoverheadcamshaft Turbo Stratocasters (You know, the expensive ones with the posh bits).

2 inch action, chopped our fingers into little peices..and we were glad of it!


My first amp was a Realistic/Tandy/Radioshack 4(?) watt plastic thing, with a 5 inch speaker and a volume and tone control *woooooooooooooooooooooooo*. LOL.

and you try telling that to the youth of today.......

Seriously, Johan you have very good gear for a new player, treat it well!

Guitars:

B.C. Rich NJ Beast
B.C. Rich Platinum Warlock
Ibanez K7

Amps
Line 6 Spyder
Marshall Dxs head
Marshall 4x12

Effects
Digitech Genetix 3500
plan on Line 6 POD
