Figured I'd start one since its been talked about. I had no idea we had so many guitar players up in here!

I'll be adding my pics shortly.

My live rig



Top to bottom, Marshall 3310, Jet City JCA100H, Soldano cab with Scumback M75 and H75 speakers. Sterling AX40, PRS 25th Custom 24 SE

Practice rig and my 15-22

15-22 has UTG foregrip, BSA 30mm 5 MOA red dot, Gripp tab. Love it!

Default now we're talking

Guns and guitars make for a good partnership. A couple of battle axes and a couple of Smiths. M&P15-22 Pink Platinum edition, Model 46, M&P15-22P, Dean Vendetta 7 string and a Dean Razorback DCR Transblack #56 of 100.

I don't play but most of my friends do. Here's what happens when they get together: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8IQ8...3&feature=plcp

There was roughly 30K worth of equipment there that night. Two new LesPaul's an Agile (LesPaul clone) Fender Classic, Ibanez lead, 2 Ibanez 6 string Acoustics, Ibanez 12 String Acoustic, Eddie Van Halen and I'm sure more that I'm forgetting about!

As for Audio Equipment we were running a pair of Peavy Stage Monitors (Horns and BW Woofers) off a Carvin 12 channel, Wireless Audio Technica Mic Setup, Guitar amps were Marshall, Vox and some Behringer processors thrown in for good measure.

I wish I could have captured the audio without distortion but it was SO friggen loud!

I have an Agile myself. Great project guitar, and good enough for me to gig with regularly if I need to.



Also built up and painted an EVH style guitar



Never should have let this one go




Hell, I went through too much over the last 3 years go post, so here's a link if anyone's interested:

A few gear shots, looks like the pic posts got deleted on the other thread. 72 Major, 69 Small Box, 96 SLP, 2204. The 78 small check cab sounds amazing with the slp, black backs. If I'm not using a IA Blues 60, it's that rig. I can kick in the major along with it for a little extra.. can't do it for long, these old ears can't handle that sound pressure for long. I run a line out from the hot plate to the rack into the 50/50 9005 and out to a couple of 1 x 12 cabs for verb and delays. A wet/dry/wet setup. I've been doing this since the 60s.









PRS CE24..






Please don't quote the images, they may be going away at some point. Thanks

Cool thread for sure.. Very nice studio Blues.. I'm a little more geared up for live, not much as far as recording gear. I have an old Akai DPS16 deck, still works great outdated as it is. Haven't played out in many years, just no time, I do miss it very much though. I could kick myself for the gear I sold off in the early 70s (58 les paul tv among others), not to mention the stuff that was stolen, 68 SG w/Vibrola, full 73 super lead stack...

Someone needs to duct-tape their 15-22 to their guitar. The way Ripley did with the gun and flame thrower in aliens. This way you can rock out and kill zombies at the same time!

Very nice room you have too, jmp45 - probably more need for hearing protection in there than on the range!

Haven't gigged in anger for a while myself too (and missing it as I get older), but other than the day job paying the mortgage, I'm busy running a little recording business from my studio. It's a vocation, for sure

Could be a tinnitus zone for sure. May not be as loud as standing right next to an sbr muzzle with a brake but I'll bet pretty close. Getting older I'm finding that I can't stand the sound pressure levels like I could in the 60s and 70s, especially the highs. I still like to push it occasionally, but not for a considerable length of time. These old amps sound best at a higher volume to get their voice and they bloom nicely. Be smart concerning your hearing you youngsters.

interesting thread! I play a 1969 David Russell Young acoustic dreadnought (similar to Martin D28, just a lot better).

Anyway, a funny thought occurred to me. Can you use a guitar hardcase (obviously with the guitar removed) to transport your M&P 15-22 on an airplane as checked luggage? I'm trying to avoid purchasing a rifle hard case just to use for plane trips.

No pics but here's the run down:

'63 Jazzmaster
'93 Les Paul Studio w/ a perpetually cracked headstock
Washburn Strato-like of unknown vintage
Cheap but decent playing classical of unknown brand

Peavey 90w 1x12 tube whose model # eludes me at the moment
Fender Twin Reverb from the early 70's

A bunch of decent recording gear and mics from my former life as an recording engineer that I haven't touched in years and should probably be sold off at this point
