Guitar / Music Instrument Setups
Kanno:
Guitars:
Epiphone Flying V copy
Harmony Les Paul-ish lookin' design (I've actually fixed this one up quite a bit, its even a natural wood color, so it looks pretty nice. Threw a couple of new pickups in it the other day, sounds like a champ.)
3/4 Squire Strat (the pride of my collection..haha)
Old Acoustic 6x10 cab. I think it might be a bass cab, but it sounds killer.
I need a new amp head.
Drums:
Tama Swingstar Kit
Tama Rockstar Kit
Pearl Double Pedal
I used to have a lot of nice cymbals, but I broke them all playing grindcore. All I have left is some nice zildjian hats, a z-custom 18" crash, and a ping ride.
Random snare drums
Tables:
Some halfway decent numark decks. I'm not a very good DJ or anything, but it's fun to get drunk and spin hip hop beats and watch your friends try to freestyle.
Numark Mixer
Shure cartridges
Recording Gear:
First, I want to make a bold statement. FUCK ALL YOUR PC RECORDING CRAP. Seriously, a nice mac with pro tools is what you need to succeed. Or maybe Logic if you're into that whole MIDI thing, which I am certainly not.
Powerbook G4 17"/1.67ghz/1gig ram/about 600 gigs worth of various hard drives
Digi002 Rack
FMR Audio RNC/RNP combo (preamp and compressor, great deal!)
PreSonus Digimax LT (8 chan pre, for drums and stuff where I need many mics)
Some old DBX channel strip I hardly use
Rolls headphone amp (nice and cheap, really high output!)
Tons o' plugins
2 nice pairs of headphones, maybe 8 pairs of mediocre ones
Mics:
2 Shure 57's
Shure 58
Oktava 319
Oktava 012
Audio Technica 4040
Vintage RCA 77-DX Ribbon Mic (think Elvis)
Shure Beta 52 (kick drum mic)
Add to this a whole mess of cords and blank cd-r's, and I think that's most of my gear.
EDIT: Oh yeah, I also have an M-Box, I forgot about that thing, I only use it occasionally.
MoiraFae:
Muahahaha. I'm a theatre/film sound designer and engineer, so the music stuff is more for fiddling and making the basics of soundtracks ... The recording stuff and processing whatnots are the important part. I'm in school for all of it right now, and poor, so I mostly use the school's equipment. Only someday may I hope to own all the cool stuff my mentor does ...
Kanno: You have a Digi002? I bow to the superiority of your recording stylez!! I wish I had the money for an 002 ... *drools* I just recently bought my M-Box. It is brand new and lovely.
Instruments:
Fender Squire (Awww. Moi's first guitar! I know how to play five chords! I am good at them.)
Irish Harp
Yamaha Flute, open-hole with extra key
Upright Piano (of unknown make at the moment, since I'm not in it's vicinity)
... I can play a few other things, but this is what I actually own ...
Recording/Sound Gear:
Powerbook G4
Garageband, Soundtrack, Final Cut Pro, Live, ProTools
M-Box
Built tower with Windows XP (and semi-crappy studio speakers)
SFX
Shure 58 mic
Sony MDR-7506 Headphones
Speaking of headphones, (well, you were a while ago) I absolutely love mine, they're sweet as all get out, and if you're willing to spend the money, they're pretty much industry standard (at least, when it comes to mixing big bands, theatre shows, live sound, etc.). They have a really, really nice sound, and the noise cancellation is very good. They cost around 100-125, although you might be able to find cheaper on the interweb ... You may be able to spend more on something else and get bells and whistles and 'extra' noise-cancellation and so forth, but for a really good pair of studio cans that will sound consistantly good for quite a long time, I don't think you can beat them.

First of all, regarding the Tama drumkits: Would you excuse me while I go and cry for a few minutes, maybe?
Also, another person who managed to break their cymbals, yay! I've managed to completely destroy my last cymbal set, save for the ride. My crash cymbal is actually two pieces now.
But I like to think I'm more careful with my Zildjians because they were so expensive I was left broke for months after I bought them. I can't afford to destroy equipment like that...

The M-Box kicks ass! I forgot to mention that I have one of those also, it's what I started on. It sucks that you only get the two channels, but it works great if you just get a decent board and hook the left and right output of the board up to the M-Box. Just get the mix right on the board the first time. Plus, the M-Box is great for portability, I use it for bootleg type stuff all the time!

Second'd!
Back at the pro studio I used to work at, we had a ton of these little guys, and they are really really nice headphones.

Yeah, I'm through playing metal and grindcore stuff now, so now I treat my cymbals nicely. I really miss my Zildjian 18" China... but now it makes a better frisbee than a cymbal.
