Well Ladies(?) and Gentlemen, post what gear you have and what you play as well as anything you have made
Gear: E-MU 0202 Interface- I need a new interface because this wont record at anything more than like 9db so I cant get an even remotely full sound when recording
Shure SM57 Mic- Standard "good" dynamic mic
Jackson Kelly KE3- Great guitar, my favorite looking guitar of all time so naturally i was wicked excited when I got it. Replaced the standard Jackson Seymour Duncan JB/59 setup with a Dimarzio Evolution in the Neck and Dimarzio X2N in the bridge which I like a whole lot more. Was going to put on an Orignal Floyd Rose to replace the Jackson one but that was put on hold and I don't know when I will do that again. Have Not Even Slinky guitar strings on it.
Dean Vendetta- My "first" guitar (I don't count my crappy strat replica), kind of a piece of crap but for $99 it couldn't be beat. Changed out pickups for Seymour Duncan Distortions, have some retardedly high guage strings on it, I forget the exact size but I bought a 7 string set and just took off the thinnest guage string so it's like 58-14.
Squire Strat-style 4-string Bass- Just got it to fool around with, can get some decent heavy bass sound from it with the Line 6 Uber Metal, but I think I need some new pickups and thicker gauged strings.
Line 6 Uber Metal Pedal- Fantastic Pedal, has 3 stages of distortion, a 2 stage noise gate, and your standard EQ knobs but with a Scoop knob (which I don't use, scooped mids suck). Well worth the money for it.
Bad Monkey Overdrive Pedal- It was like $30 and one of the best buys for overdrive pedals, nothing spectacular but you shouldn't be expecting much for the price. Can't beat it at $30.
Peavey Valveking 112- Forgot to add my amp, standard 50w Tube combo. Has 6L6GC tubes which I don't really like but the price was right, I think I migth get one of the new Peavey 6505+ 112s that come out soon, a lot more gain on tap than this amp. Also I replaced the stock crap speaker with a Warehouse Speaker Vintage 30 (Celestion V30 copycat but just as good).
Gakken SX-150- Analog Synthesizer for $50, sure it's not that good but I mean 100% pure analog for $50 is not a bad buy at all considering most analog synths are over $1000 (but they are about 100 times better lol). Fun to dick around with.

Never played a guitar in my life! Don't like them to be honest. But I love the Bass Guitar.
Just love that sound. I've played the drums in my younger days. I was drum mad! Tapping
my hands/fingers/feet at everything! I couldn't sit still.
I've no musical instruments. Just what I have on my computer, as I love synth/electronica.

This link is to my music page on MySpace. Two songs ("Disappearing" and "Rearrange My Eyes") were done with a full band that I was in for a while. The other songs I've done everything myself. I'm gonna redo these songs because they are only demos, and I'd like to get the quality a little better.
Cool thread man, been waiting for something like this. I've been playing guitar for I think about 8 years or so and have had a lot of gear come and go - here's what I have currently.
Epiphone Les Paul Ultra ll
Fender Stratocaster MiM

I don't really like to copy music but from time to time I'll try and learn some riffs I really like. The intro riff from Impetigo- I Work for the Street Cleaner is one of my all time favorites, Cannibal Corpse- The Bleeding has some great riffs in it, and finally Genghis Tron- Arms has some of the greatest tapping riffs I've heard but my hands aren't big enough to reach them
As for Solos I really like any solo that the musician Maniac Niel (Blood Freak, Lord Gore, Frightmare) does he's an amazing guitarist.
Also I added my Amp and Bass because I completely forgot about those two.
Guitar Amps:
Behringer GMX1200H Head
Behringer BG412H Cab (4X12)
Bass:
Squier Jazz Bass (5 String Affinity)
Bass Amp:
Peavey Max 115
I played guitar for around 8 years, but never found it appealing enough to practice a lot....so I play like the average 3 year rhythm musician, I guess. Moved over to bass, and prefer it much over guitar. I just got the bass gear around a couple months ago, and I want to upgrade to something better. I tried a couple out, but MusicMan, as always took the cake, with the Sterling 5. Too bad they cost $1500 or more. However, I think I'll try out a Sterling By Musicman bass. The Ray 35 looks pretty nice.
Not sure about the amp yet.
I'll get a demo uploaded sometime.
Just to mention, my dad has a lot of gear as well. Ovation electric, early 80's Gibson Les Paul, and a couple Epiphones....to name a few.
This is the first take with no edits. Recorded with GR3 (crappy sounding bass preset). There's quite a few screw-ups, but I've only been playing bass for roughly 2 months...so I guess that's a good excuse.
This is so awesome to see this many musicians on HWA. There's some really good stuff here in this thread. Also, I see some really good gear being used too
