what guitar/bass/drumkit you play and own thread?

if not already one, post away..

I play a late 80's/early 90's electric blue ludwig kit. I use plain sticks not nylon.. I dont really like the sharpness I cant help but hear when I use nylon head sticks. It's my first real set of drums and its my baby. Its funny how people either love drums/percussion or hate it. I really liked being able to play whenever I wanted in my old house.. and encouraged to do so. It would be guitars and drums and whatever else in one of our bedrooms four+ times a week.

Now I'm living with non musos and my inspiration to sit down really lags. I've set it up after not having it for about 6 months, and I think I've sat down once in the last three weeks. : /

random.. some sticks I burnished for someone else who plays:

usual bass - red fender jag purchased new about a month or so ago or sunburst 70s p-bass w/ tortoiseshell pickguard

usual elec. gtr - CBS era jaguar, aqua blue/green (i think it probably was like surf green, the colour probably hasn't changed that much)

acoustic gtr - some beat to hell one i found in a pawn shop that i laquered roses on it

i got a mid 90's jazzmaster, a shitty ibanez, and a new jaguar (which i love), i usually use them all though in the course of a gig. and of course i have my hand me down trumpet that my grandfather gave me and im really starting to learn how to blow some weird noise out of that thing. ive been incorporating it into my band, so now im on guitar, vox, and trumpet.

Nice, I forgot about my kit. It's an old Pearl Export kit with an awesome Paiste 2002 Crash (with a cutaway bit).

i mostly play this shortscale strat copy i put together myself from various broken guitars and spare parts.

Fender Tele Custom '72 reissue (black)


 

Squire Jagmaster


 

Epiphone Dot


 

Westbury 200 series strat copy...
Supposedly made in the infamous Matsumoku guitar factory in Japan...can't find a pic on the net though at one point i did, i will take my own at somepoint... somewhat odd but interesting guitar with humbuckers that are superhot and loud and clean as hell, plus 2 additional switches to switch from humbucking to single coil and dual and single phasing er something like that, i've temporary strung it as a 4 string modified baritone thing similar to SY's drifter guitar on eric's trip but tuned differently.

I play cheap guitars. I am always afraid to buy an expensive one for fear of dropping it or scratching it or whatever - so prepare to be impressed:
Epiphone SG
Squire Telecaster
Knock off musicman bass - OLP maybe?
I have a pretty decent seagull s6 for an acoustic
and my favorite of all - a japanese les paul copy with no markings on it anywhere other than "made in japan". Nobody knows anything about it. It is perfect in every way, and I love it dearly. Purchased from an octogenarian in my old neighborhood when I was about 13 years old for 80 bucks.
