ibanez S470(orange, i wanted a grey one but that was the only one they had) stock, tuned standard; DR 9s, ill stick in a duncan JB(br), Jazz(n), and some SC for the middle, im not sure which one yet. that new ZR trem rocks.

@ Stygian: Your point of view is totally wrong dude :) Im not a wealthy boy (my stuff isnt worth even poor 500$) and Im really able to do what Ive written, so dont talk bullshit...

And btw boring spider-alike excersises are the best way to gain proper skills. Belive me, try to play some fast shred then practice for 3h with simple excercises and shred the same lick once again, do you see any difference? :)
 
Yeah, definately. Was just meaning that alot of the Bodom licks are VERY alike to excercises anyway, or at least that's what people tell me when they first hear Bodom. Spose that's why alot of people think they're boring.

Anyway, back on topic, I never really posted all my gear.

Guitar: Jackson Performer Series 4 (H-S-H) /w Seymour Duncan bridge PU.

Amp: Marshall Valvestate 8080 (80 watt) and Epiphone Studio 10 (10 watt)

Effects: Marshall Jackhammer JH-1.

That's about it, but I think I'm saving up for a multieffects pedal, or if not that, then a keyboard :)
 
@ Stygian : youre a simple fucker, I dont have a full paid job, but my stuff is mine, no parents gave me money on it. You think you're the only one who cant afford a new Messa every week?
