What stuff do you guys have, and what stuff do you like?

I'm getting an ESP B-50 bass soon. I really like the Viper-305 and The F-205. A friend of mine has an F-205 and it looks and sounds great. I'm not sure what type of amp I'm getting yet.
 
I have a crappy Squire Strat in the closet.

But I play an ESP EC-100, a v-amp 2 which I usually play through my computer speakers or my Marshall G30R. Nothing special since I just play as a hobby :D
 
I have a standard BC Rich Warlock and a shitty Peavey amp. I mostly play my acoustic though:grin:. Let's see for a mic I have nice live AKG. I have a Boss MetalZone pedal and a DOD Death Metal pedal

anyone have recommendations for good bass amps in a lower price range (under or around 200)?
I can get the B50 for $150 (list $300), but I have no idea what amp to get.
 
i have a bc rich nj series virgin w/ stock pickups(for the moment) into a ibanez SM7 Smash Box into a crate gfx65 combo. i use the pedal and the dirty channel of the amp together because the pedal gives it more bite. it just needs some more low end and itll be perfect.
 
hi everybody! :wave: mind if i share the sandbox?

well, just thought i'd share my meager gear list to start things off. it goes something like this...

case: some beat up generic brand hard shell

picks: i have a small Zip-Lock bag of famous ones! (mostly used) ;) none from In Flames though.

pedals: DOD and MXR (crappy ones)

amp: one puny Crate - model CR-110

strings: D'Addario

electric guitar: it's some sort of Fender model (from the stone[d]-age 70's i think). dark blue Strat-type body with a fading finish (no visible documentation). i was lead to believe by the previous owner that it was some sort of home-made put-it-together yourself hybrid. the headstock documentation reads: "Lead II" (serial #002241) Made in U.S.A. it's a small little thing - only 21 frets - but it's quite heavy. it feels like it was made out of lead! :guh: i've had it for about 18 years now and i still can't play it for shit. i attempt to play it. that is probably the more accurate description. :^) i might be more inclined to pick up and diddle around with an acoustic if i had one though, so maybe i should get one of those. ;)

that's it as far as musical instruments go, unless i should include the spoons in my silverware drawer. :D

Well I for one have a Gibson Les Paul special edition and Marshall amp... no special pedals or anything pretty basic. I use the dirty channel on my amp to get my distortion. thats all
