Show us your stuff! Instrument set-ups, Music Playback set-ups, etc. I'll post my music stuff in a bit.

Heres my current setup, as well as the guitar I purchased last night.

Heres my main rig.
The bottom left amp, the Teisco, is all tube. Really really nice sound to it. The Traynor on top of it I sometimes use as a passive speaker for the Teisco. The Line 6 Spider III I use as a head for the berhringer. I run it as a powered speaker, so I get around 150 watts.

This is my main guitar. Fender Strat MIM. Really nice. Love the tone.

This is my acoustic. Pretty old. Around the 60s or so. Signet Acoustic. Just had a handmade bone nut installed.

Heres my new addition. A Squier Bullet Special. Found it on craigslist for $50. Picked it up last night. Gonna upgrade the pickup sometime soon. Great guitar. Single volume knob.

Former (now in the garage due to lack of space) playback setup:

- Late 80s Sony receiver with digital tuning that needs a better volume control. (It cuts out one channel if you turn it down.)
- Realistic tape deck from 1982
- Another Realistic tape deck from 1982
- Sony PS-77 record player (plays LPs, 45s, and 78s, with changer mechanism). The platter system was built in England by a third party, I think.
- Realistic phono preamp
- 2 Realistic speaker sets from 1982, with replaced woofers

Recording:

- Line in port + Audacity

I got a pair of Quasar Speakers that have the same problem, it drives me nuts >_<

Basically this is what I use to listen to Music more than 95% of the time

Hey I love this little thing, even though it has no screen, the LI-ion battery was a huge upgrade for me, I got REALLY sick and tired of replacing AAAs every couple days in my old Creative Zen Nano Plus.

I will post details on my Living room's stereo system later, but I CAN tell you that the huge ass speakers are Advent speakers, which according to my dad, where better than Bose speakers at the time he got them. (Don't ask me WHEN he got them, cause I have no clue, I would guess 70s early 80s at the latest.)

hooked up to our Advent Speakers is JVC AMP, and next to it NOT hooked up is a Sony Turntable that plays all speeds of Records, though aparently it also has an amp built in, so that is why it is not hooked up ATM.

what kinda advents do you have?

I don't know, I will have to see if I can find the model number on it when I get home.

Man I need an Amp in my room, I have a pair of smaller Advent speakers (Probably from early 80s, that I got pretty cheap, they have no tweeter, just 1 speaker cone in each speaker.)

These Quasar speaker are a pain in the ass when I don't get one of the sound channels, so I have to turn them up to where they are bit too loud.

Music wise i have two huge ancient goodmans speakers that i hoiked out of a skip plugged into my computer.

Instrument wise i have an Ashdown 4x10 MAG300 bass amp and a 75 watt Session amp for guitar.

For recording/mastering I have a 16 channel studiomaster desk, an 8 track ADAT tape machine, an 8 channel Berhinger ADAT rack, which goes into a 16 channel (8 in 8 out) Marian Marc A sound card which is in turn in a computer running Cubase sx3

Some cheap Vito student clarinet.
A French tenor sax (it's not actually mine, but I'll get my own soon)
Epiphone Les Paul
Jay Turser JT-300 (some Asian Strat knockoff. I actually really like it)
Some old accordion (it was my grandpa's!)
A piano
An awesome little electronic keyboard from the 80's.

I was hoping to get a nice clarinet, but I'd rather spend the money on a tenor sax and deal with my current clarinet.

As for listening to music... the car radio?

I record and stuff in the demo of FL Studio 8. It's really good for being a free demo. It can save mp3's and wav's but it just can't save projects, so if I'm working on something I just keep my computer on.

Well. Just picked up a nice Squier Bullet Special for $50. It actually plays extremely well for being a Squier. Single Humbucker in the bridge, with a single volume knob. Cobalt Teal Blue with a black pickguard. Really nice palm mute too. I'll get pics of my set-up tomorrow.

Get a Tenor Sax

Ive using a cheapish yamaha one at the moment but its sounds pretty nice. Before that i was using a genuine piece of communist manufacture

It was on old sax i picked up for cheap in a second hand shop that turned out to be East German

Im also rocking a Epiphone SG and a Stagguar (Stagg Fender Jaguar copy) Guitar wise and ive got an epiphone thunderbird bass and a fender jazz bass.
