Here's what I'm using, as of this moment...

- Epiphone Les Paul (LP Special) - my primary guitar. Black, of
course.
- Applause (Ovation) acoustic-electric guitar. Black.
- Memphis bass - a Korean knock-off of a Fender P-bass design.
Works, barely - it's OLD-SCHOOL.
- Suzuki nylon-string acoustic guitar (it's actually my mom's)
- Crate GX-65 amplifier - my primary amp, although it's cranky.
- Squier (Fender) 15-watt amplifier - secondary amp.
- Lark in the Morning banjo (yes, I DO play the banjo)
- Mandolin (can't remember at the moment what manufacturer,
sorry)
- Dean Markley strings
- Boss foot pedals - including a CE-5 Chours, OS-2
Overdrive/Distortion, HM-3 Hyper Metal Distortion (from the old
days - for when I need LOUD), Flanger, OC-2 Octave, and a Crybaby
wah.
- We're now recording (see the pic above) on Digidesign ProTools
8 on my iBook and my brother's iMac, although when we record the
full album we'll use Steinberg Cubase VST.
- Fostex 4-track cassette recorder.
- Shure SM-57 microphones (my faves)
- Propellerheads Reason beat sampler (through the good offices
of Mr. John Athayde
- an old, beat up keyboard and an older, more beat-up piano,
with access to my grandmother's Steinway grand piano (drool!)
As you'll notice, I have all manner of gear, but nothing in terms
of percussion or drums, except Reason. That's because I can't play
the drums to save my life - call it a coordination problem or
something, but while I've tried, I just can't do it. Fortunately, my
brother John is a BAD-ASS drummer, as you can see below. He has a
full kit of drums, including DW pedal hardware, and (exclusively)
Zildjian cymbals. Don't have any better stats, sorry.
