I went a bit overboard, but so far this is it. I’m planning on expanding it a little bit, but I dare to say this is 90% complete and an absolute dream of mine come true.

Very nice setup! I also can’t help but notice that a bunch of us are Rush fans. It seems to be one of our common threads. Plus — not me personally — but I think a lot of folks in the group are guitarists first and foremost.

DEEP QUESTION OF THE DAY If this was posted in the Cakewalk Forum and the moderator saw that you were using a non-Bandlab DAW would you be banned for their policy against referencing a competitor?
-
It’s actually Kontakt so it probably would have passed, but who knows? I’ll be honest, I have no idea what Cakewalk/Bandlab apps even look like. I’ve only used Logic, Luna and one or two others ever since I started. I was a member on the other forum for the discussions, that’s it. I’m sure there were a lot of us like that too. I think the…Read More
Okay, I see that @gregjazz just joined the group. I’d love to some photos of that collection of gear! Of course, that might give away what sample libraries you’re working on next. But that could be fun… You could take a photo of a part of an instrument you’re recording and leave us to speculate on what it might be. Me personally, my dream would…Read More

I’ll see what I can do… My gear is very lop-sided, though, just based on the projects I’m working on. So while I have a lot of gear, I wouldn’t necessarily consider it well-rounded… 😛
– A Yamaha Synth 009 or something — I bought it 20 years ago for the nice semi-weighted key feel and having 88 keys
– A Roaland U20 rack mount from back in the day
– An Emu rack mount synth from back in the day
– A Nektar MIDI controller
– Two Tama acoustic drum kits, one maroon, one black
– A gold plated Steve Ferrone Pearl Snare Drum that…Read More-
Wow! that is truly a thing of beauty! Awesome!!!

Primary instrument bass here – that is about exactly the collection I would have collected myself if I wasn’t distracted by guitars, drums, keyboards, recording gear and software
I actually just sold my ’66 Strat and ’69 LP Deluxe this Summer because they were stupid valuable and I would have to climb out of my grave if my kids sold them at an estate sale for a pittance.
I still have:
90’s Gibson Tennessean (favorite- sounds like a 335)
90’s Takamine Classical (favorite) and easiest to play with arthritis
70’s…Read More2 Comments-
If I could play, I’d definitely want a Les Paul. My brother had a red one when I was a kid, and the first rock album I bought at 5 years old was Led Zeppelin III, which I still love. Jimmy Page cemented my love for the Les Paul. But I’m sure if I played guitar instead of drums that my back might not have agreed with the Les Paul choice.

LP was more fun to play. The Strat (at least mine) had real intonation problems that frustrated me. The LP was more playable (fretless wonder ™) BUT between the two you have the tone of that era covered pretty well.

I love it! They look awesome!!!!
Okay, I just saw that my friend @thor — a talented musician who composes music for video games — posted a bunch of gear photos on his Facebook page earlier today. I added back the ability to upload photos and other images. I’m iffy about keeping that function when the site allows public registration, but for a group this size, it’s fine and we…Read More
I’m hoping that owning 11 basses, 4 guitars, a set of Yama Custom Oak drums (and I don’t even play drums) qualifies me to be a member of this wall.
Many of you may remember I also have 4 sets of physical tape emu’s and compressors for mixdown. Typically. I apply them to drums, bass, vocals and the master bus.

Qualifies you? Bapu, you are the king of this wall. Also, I absolutely love those Yamaha drums. Back when I was a working drummer — maybe around 18 or so, I auditioned for a band that just won or took second place (I can’t recall) in Budweiser’s search for the US’ best country band. They were amazing players, and I didn’t even like much country…Read More

I added photo uploading capabilities — and I’ll keep it open while the site remains closed to public registration, so we need photos!!!

I would qualify Bapu just on his VST collection

Topic of discussion sometime – Drop D tuner vs 5 string (or BEAD 4 string) . I have one 5 string, a Fender Squier Jaguar 5, which I got used to playing but prefer sticking with 4 strings and if I need a little more low end I drop the E string down to D.
This is what I could have had. Instead, I had two kids! Hahaha. That’s where my money went and still goes!
