Is anyone interested in discussing gear?

Once I get the new pics of my drumset up I will post them here.

My current rig I use for all live shows:

Blackstar HT Stage 100 Head
Marshall 425 4x12 Cabinet

Boss CH-1 Super Chorus
Boss DD-6 Delay
Dunlop Crybaby
Snark Clip-On Tuner
SKB PS-45 Pedal Board
Ernie Ball Regular Slinky strings (10-46)
Dunlop 1.0mm Picks (Blue)
Martin SP Extended Life Acoustic Strings (Medium Gauge)


Guitars:
Sterling by Music Man JP100D (Trans Black) (Standard tuning)
Epiphone Les Paul Standard (Trans Blue) (tuning varies)
Epiphone Les Paul Studio (Black) (Drop D tuning)

Yamaha FX-335 Acoustic Electric Guitar (D standard tuning)

Shure SM58 vocal mic.

Ibanez RG 270
Washburn 7 string (Can't remember the full title, but it's no longer made and cost 700 at launch 7 years ago)
Crafter acoustic

I have a new Ibanez premium winging it's way to me at the moment, it's going to be fixed bridge and it's part of the 2012 line!

I have a Marsshall 250 DFX, not the best in the world, but it does the job for jamming and impromptu party shows.

Vox wah
Boss AC-2

Both of these are beautiful pieces of gear, I LOVE the AC-2 especially. I like writing/jamming Opeth inspired material, and that pedal just makes the dynamics of what I can write/string together so much wider!

Pod 2.0

I will be getting a Pod x3 at some point in the new year to re-record all my demos and release some music for people to check out, but for a diving board, this is perfect. I just use it to record ideas and then send them to musician buddies/have a go at producing myself.

Nothing fancy or particularly professional, but I'm happy!

Ah yes, tunings. I usually use .10 gauge on my electric guitars because I tend to tune down two full steps. I'm pretty sure I have Ernie Balls on them now but I NEVER change strings, only if they break. The bass is in standard tuning and still has the stock strings. It sounds like crap if it goes down anything more then a step and I don't want to shell out $40 for a set of strings. The accoustics have .12 gauges and are also tuned down two steps. I find having my 12-string in standard tuning it was too hard to play, so I started tuning it down and did the same with everything else. I'm not in a band or anything so whatever tunings they're in they're in.

I always used the first note in Epic by Faith No More as my tuning note.

Hope it was worth the wait

2. a Fender Stratocaster Squire (yes, a mexiStrat). Black and white, but covered with stickers and shit scratched into it. Again, I bought it twenty years ago when I really wanted an electric guitar and that was all I could afford.
3. a Simon & Patrick 12 string acoustic. It's probably the guitar I play the least but it's really good and has really good sound.
4. an Ibanez Gio bass (jet black) that I got around ten years ago. It's a good bass but I always tend to play it like a guitar.
5. my pride and joy; my Jackson King-V (jet black). Not the best guitar by any stretch but it was the guitar I dreamed of having since I was a teenager.
6. a Jackson JS Dinky (dark blue) that I just bought off my brother for $50. It's a nice guitar, plays well but doesn't hold it's tune very well.

Here's some pictures of my guitars I mentioned:

The first two I mentioned


The Bass and the 12-String


The King-V and the newest one


My son's guitar has its place on the wall too.
