Equipment used:
For live and studio work: variously a customised Fender F210 Acoustic Guitar, Fender Stratocaster, ARIA Pro II electric bass, Double Bass, Indian Flute, Harmonicas, Alhambra Classical Guitar, Eko Dreadnaught Guitar (often tuned to DADGDG, DADF#AD or even standard tuning), a box of percussion, panpipes, chinese cymbals and Tibetan Bells, but usually it's just the Fender Acoustic Guitar with DiMarzio and Fishman pick-ups; Newtone Strings; also a Boomerang III Phrase sampler, Korg AX30G's and Boss effects with expression and volume pedals; Hohner and Lee Oskar Harmonicas and a sprinkling of miscellaneous mic's.
For recording I use: n-Track Studio x64bit software, running on 64bit Windows XP; Korg Wavestation SR; Sonor 10"x2" Jungle Snare drum; M-Audio Delta 1010 soundcard; Lexicon effects; a little Mackie 1202vlz pro; a Korg Wavestation and sometimes an Alesis HR 16 drum machine.
I still use my old cassette 4 track as a note pad for ideas as well as minidisc and an old Korg Pandora PXR4 (and paper/pencil/pen of course).
