Show me your instrument...

Is that Dimebag guitar as expensive in Europe as over here? Dang....

As it happens, it's not even my amp, but if you think it's sexy, I better get one myself. ;-) The guitars are backwards, since I'm a leftie.

The SG's a dream to play. I've played a couple of Strats (though I don't own any - but I'd like one), and I like those, too. I like the challenge of having to play different guitars, because I think that having to adapt to the instrument wil constribute to the development of versatility in the guitar player. I bought the Dimebag guitar in Germany where it's cheaper than in Denmark, so it wasn't too expensive. But it wasn't super cheap either ;-) It's got a great punch to it. I've tuned it in a B, and it sounds mean :-)

Very nice UMUR...I've played them in a store. They are super smooth. Not cheap, at all.

I was told it cost 30.000 dkr. from new at the time but I purchased mine used for 15.000 dkr. It takes a bit of time getting used to playing on because the volume control is placed a little too high for my taste but otherwise it�s an excellent guitar. Great Active amps and this one is never out of tune no matter how much you abuse the vibrato arm. It�s not the most "heavy metal" guitar in the world but I didn�t purchase it to play metal or to "look" metal. My old BC Rich Warlock more than does that for me. Boy that one sure is ugly.

Slingerland....taken many years ago.

No great photos I'm afraid, the camera I have on hand blows. You can find much better pics of my instruments on the internet, but I'm posting up mine for the sake of it heh.



Ibanez RG 1527 in Royal Blue.
The following modifications have been done:
Stock pickups replaced with Dimarzo Blaze Neck and Bridge, replaced stock pots with CTS pots, replaced volume and tone knob, locking stud tremolo mod (keeps trem more stable, but I hardly use the trem anyway) and Schaller Strap Lock buttons



1999 Ibanez RG 7421 in Cherry Fudge
Replaced stock pickups with Seymour Duncan Blackout AHB-1 7 string set



Line 6 POD X3 Live



Bugera 333XL 120 watt tube amp. Has 4 EL34s in the power amp, not sure what brand the tubes are though. 3 Channels, and the clean channel is unusually good for a high gain amp.
It sounds great at relatively low volumes too, which is a major bonus , because it means I play record at home without killing my neighbors
It's essentially a copy of the Peavey JSX, for a much cheaper price, but it arguably sounds just as good.
Cabinet is a Harley Benton 2x12 loaded with Celeston V30 speakers.



My Shure SM-57 for mic-ing my amp up for recording. Got it used, but it was in mint condition. Definitely a mic that lives up to the hype

My main instrument, my Ibanez BTB556 bass:



I'm trying to learn the drums, so I bought a Yamaha DTXplorer kit:


The kit is at my parent's house, so I'll finally get to play it again once I move at the end of the month after I graduate.

This Tokai Les Paul is my number one guitar for recording, I get pretty good distorted sounds out of it. I don't really play it that much apart from recording. That acoustic Yamaha is a pretty new family member, I should play it more to get the feel of it.

The Squier Strat on the right was my very first guitar ever, I've been dreaming of arming it with a humbucker and making it my punk axe, but so far I've been too lazy and poor for it. My fianc�e won the Tokai Strat on the left from a rock mag poll a while ago and since then that has been my guitar of choice for general strumming and composing. I'll probably do my first recordings with it soon. Great touch, pretty good sound. There you also see my amps, I've got no pedals, just those. Should re-string the classical guitar one day and bring it back from the graveyard behind the amp wall.

There's my trusted bass with his tattoos and my second guitar, Epiphone Les Paul. Some electronics of it have been messed up so that the bridge pick up doesn't work anymore, otherwise a good quitar I miss using.

My favorite toy, Roland TD9-KX.
