I didn't find a topic where you tell your gear so I thought I'd create one (

I have 2 electric guitars; ESP/LTD Viper 500s
ESP Horizon Nt II
Amps: Line6 Spider VI 120w
Roland Cube 20w

Random shit:
Yamaha electro-acoustic guitar
Aeria bass
M.audio oxgyen 49 midi keyboard
Cubase 5 + CI2 soundcard
ezdrummer

Edit: New Amp: Blackstar HT 40 club

Badass, moe! I think we have the same amp there... But, here is my stuff that I can think of off the top of my head.

Guitars:
Gothic Gibson Les Paul Studio (Gibson Extra Light strings, D-Standard)
Yamaha Drop 6 Baritone (Zakk Wylde Heavys? C-Standard)
Schecter C-7 Jackson (d'Addario, Standard)
Fender Jass Bass (B-52s, D-Standard)

Pedals:
Line 6 POD HD500

Amps:
Line 6 Spider IV 120
Peavy Bass Amp (No idea on the specs)

Speakers:
StageAudio PA Speakers (100 watts each, I think? Don't even know the brand off the top of my head...)
StageAudio Head

Recording:
Reaper DAW
EZ-Drummer (Drum Kit From Hell)

The POD that I have is really great, but I can't find a really excellent distortion... I have recorded with it with something I whipped up on the fly, but it isn't quite 'perfect' in my head.

Guitar:
ESP LTD Ax-400FM: Mahogany Body and neck, rosewood fretboard, 24XJ frets, 2 EMG 81 active pickups in bridge and neck positions, Tune-o-matic bridge, grover tuners.



Amp:
Roland Cube 80x w/ built-in effects: 80 watts, 12" speaker, 10 amp models, 4 effects, full range Eq, 2 kinda of delay, 2 kinda of reverb, looper, memory function, and various outputs/inputs.



Pedals:
Dunlop ZW-45 Zakk Wylde Crybaby Wah pedal
Boss FS-6 dual-footswtich pedal

No name cheep Career guitar...
and also 30W original Fender amp
makes me wonder how in hell did i recorded a full demo on this ..

My turn:

guitars: -Epiphone G400 Gothic SG with a GFS VEH pickup in the bridge, Ernie Ball custom gauge strings, my "80s metal guitar"

-Hamer Sunburst AT2 with a GFS Crunchy Rails in the bridge, Dunlop .52 strings, my "modern metal guitar"

-Hohner HW220P acoustic

amp: Kustom Double Barrel 35W, at least it's 2x12 and it gets quite loud if i decide to crank it.

pedals: Marshall Jackhammer distortion, Boss CE5 Chorus

fancy noiseless GFS extra high end cables.

Ok here it goes:

-Yamaha RBX 375 (5-string bass guitar) with D'Addario strings (the guitar is new so those are the stock strings, no need to change em...yet xD)

-Behringer Ultrabass BXL 3000 A combo (300 watt amp...ok it has only 1x 15" aluminium membrane but it still owns small gigs xD)

-self made cable, no i wasn't drunk when i wrote this, i really made my own cable (10 meters) even though for practicing at home i'm using the small 2 meter cable that came with my bass guitar

no pedals, no effects (the amp head has enough of those, so i don't need more effects...at least for now )

yes...

I thought so too, but hey ... black metal DOES sound better with cheap equipment as its more raw, and got a "dirtier" noisy sound... so strangely enough, cheap gear works VERY WELL with black metal demos

I know... mostly the trick is that all that noise hides your mistakes and fill the stereo picture better than clean sound...
btw i think that whole demo costed me 5 euros...

and even so, it sounds better than new Metallica's song, that possibly costed 16469413196461634 times more

oh thanks

First of all I play with my fingers if anyone is interested!
The bass I currently use the most is my ESP LTD F-415, got it about 2 weeks ago and it's great to play, cost me £700. I use it in my death metal band and it just sounds metal as f**k.


The bass I mostly used before that is my BC Rich Widow. Got it second hand so it only cost me £200, but i have to say I didn't enjoy this bass all too much. It's SO top heavy, it's just a chore to hold up and play the same time, and because you have to use strength keeping the neck up it tires out your hand more quickly and it's just harder to play in general.


And lastly, my first bass ever! Vintage Metal Axxe Wraith. Cost be about £280 pounds at the time if I remember correctly, but for the price it's an amazing bass to play! The neck is quite thin so it's a good neck to play fast on, and it's as light a feather. I love how it looks, and most importantly it sounds awesome. I adjusted the action so its perfect for me. Never gonna sell this one, it feels like a bass 100X its price.


That ended up longer than I expected haha, anyway, there's my basses!

A week or so ago I received my Bugera 333-212 combo amp. The "Crunch" channel captures a local radio station(probably due to poor shielding), the "Lead" channel has a fuckton of gain (I set it on 2-3 and it still sounds heavier than anything I'd normally need) but sounds a bit synthetic, the CLEAN channel though is orgasmic. The cleans are clean as fuck, and when I crank the gain on my Marshall Jackhammer it sounds absolutely fucking crushing. My only complaint so far, apart from the crunch channel, is the fact that the reverb can't be changed via the footswitch except by changing the whole channel.

For just 400 euros this is was a motherfucking STEAL.

That ESP Ax-400FM is pretty tight. A badass looking guitar. I hope to get an ESP 7-string soon. My gear is:

ESP Ltd. EC-400 6-string, dual EMG active-81s, Grover tuners, etc. D'Addario strings, Dunlop Nylon 1mm picks. Currently tuned to B-standard.
Ibanez Acoustic-Electric 6-string (built-in pickup, tuner, etc.)

Amp:
Randall RG100SC (100-watt, 2-12" Celestion speakers)

Effects:
Line6 POD X3 Live

I have 2 electric quitars, Ibanez SA120-52Q


and ESP EC200QM


two bassess, Warwick RockBass (colour like that one in the middle). Other bass is cheap ass Samick, that is a lot older than internet so not sure if there's pics of it.

I hate coming to this thread and seeing other people's gear. It's hard to get good gear here :/
But I did get my B3k and my Soundblox and they both are fucking awesome, the b3k is monstrous and the Soundblox is great for just fooling around with random jams.

You SOB!

You'd really get pissed at me if I told you how much I paid for all that

I hardly paid full retail on any of it (except the stompboxes). I have a couple friends that work at some pawn shops who give me first dibs on incoming merch...my LTD vintage black EC-1000 I only paid around 400 for...and it's freakin mint. Only has a little belt rash and couple tiny nicks by the EMG's....other than that it's flawless and I got it for over half off. Love the ebony fretboard!

Guitars: Hondo ESP Copy from 1975, that sounds kvlt. Yamaha acoustic.

Bass: A Kip Winger signature Futura Jackson Bass.

Amps: Peavy rage, Prince amp from the early 70's, Tranzamp B40 for my bass.

Emus Ukulele.

and we have a full Peavy drum kit.

*And a Boss DS-1.
