"Gorilla D" - Roland solid-state 250watt Jazz head on a 2 x 15" cabinet, assorted Boss pedals/effects, Ernie Ball Slinky strings (I mix "Skinny Top, Heavy Bottom" with "Hybrids"), and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Yamaha Slient Acoustic Steel Sting guitar, Les Paul Studio, and my Toyota (yes, TOYOTA) Hollow-Body Electric six-string guitar - I wish I could find another one!! I also use Shure SM-51 Mics, and looking into a wireless guitar pack & headset mic.
I have a 400watt Hartke Bass rig. I use a Yamaha 300watt 4 channel PA powered mixer for the PA, with 2 - 15" loudspeakers with Horns and tweeters, in my practice studio. I'm looking to get a Ludwig Double Kick Concert Drumkit, Zildjian Cymbals, and a Gibraltar Rack System for my studio (one of my former drummers had this set up and it was CRAZY!!!)
