Better late than never...
L-R, all years approximate!
2002 Peavey International bass, my current gigging bass.
1997-ish Marlin Precision copy, I'd actually forgotten I owned this until my Mum found it clearing out my old bedroom a few years back! Probably one of the first basses I ever owned.
1994 Squier Strat, my first ever guitar. Sadly no longer works, hence the taped up strings. Kept purely for sentimental reasons.
2008 No-name Strat copy. My MIL bought this to learn on, gave up, gave it to me. I've never played it.
1997 Squier Jagmaster. Love this one so much, bought as a treat to myself when I was at college. The first guitar I bought myself when I could play more than three chords!
2001 Epiphone SG. I always wanted an SG but didn't fancy paying Gibson prices, and tbh I'm glad I didn't. Horribly unbalanced things, but they do look so cool.
2016 Ibanez AEG2411. My first ever acoustic, only bought last year. I really like the thin neck and body on this, feels very 'electric' in use which makes it easy to play.
2012 Fender Mustang Cobain edition. My precious. Huge fan of Nirvana, and as luck would have it I actually prefer my guitars with short scale necks too. Beautiful tone, dirty as hell if you want it, stunning.
And the gear too:
Top: Peavey Bandit 112 Red. Some love these, some hate them. I think they give a surprisingly full tone from a solid state amp, and whilst they're not exactly delicate it does give me the tone I'm after.
Bottom: Trace Elliott GP7 SM 150. No longer running the original speaker (although I can't actually remember what I put in there now!), this has done me proud over the years on the road.
FX: Digitech RP1000. Bought a few months after the Mustang, and tbh it's not great. I had an ancient RP6 which was superb, but this is just a little gutless. The effects (chorus, flanger etc) themselves are spot-on, but the amp and cabinet stuff is so thin. Not a great buy if I'm honest, I still need to spend a good day tweaking everything really.
I really want a purple Ibanez electric next, something with some angles to look cool when playing metal on.
