Well here's my 2cents worth of kit
Main Axe (and newest edition to the fold): Epiphone Firebird.
Black & Shiny - Yes. Sharklike Monster - maybe.
Unfortunately a bolt-on neck but a great action with no fret buzz.
Good all round piece of kit.
Main backup - Encore Les Paul Copy - again black and shiny.
Worth more than the 50 quid I paid for it but some frets need dressing.
Need to fit those Aria pickups Ive got lurking around somewhere...
Vintage (or other unkown copy) Tobbaco Sunbirst Les Paul copy.
Best for quick Slash impressions when no-ones looking.
Nice neck, spoilt by semi-ply laminate body and dodgy built in effects, but as it was given to me for free Im not complaining.
Korg AX1G - useful as a tuner or to help DI into my:
Behringer 1604A - to PC for home studio.
No amp as of yet - but my bassist flatmater has a 100w Marshall valvestate that gets "Borrowed" for weeks on end.
Roland JV1010 - the daddy of small synths - soon to be the heart of my laptop doktor for a Sisters sideproject as a warmup act for my flatmates band.
More equiptment than talent?
You betcha
BTW are the Smurphs ever planning a Blitzkrieg nr Nottingham?
