How many instruments do you own and what brands are they?

I currently own

Epiphone - Les Paul
Ibanez - RG Series
Acoustic Alvarez
Acoustic Yamaha
Classical Guitar (unknown creator)

I have had quite a few instruments since I started playing in 1987. I was part of a big circle of musicians when I was in my early 20s. We used to trade back and forth. I had an SG Les Paul, three humbucker anniversary edition and a Les Paul Custom, which I wish I still had them both.

I only have an ESP LTD 7 string with Bare Knuckle pickups, and an ESP LTD TL-12 12 string hollow body.

I'm into Ibanez and Yamaha.
Two Ibanez RG guitars and one Yamaha classical.
Then one Ibanez SR bass, a Yamaha RBX and a defretted Yamaha TRBX.

Six and four strings only, I'm old fashioned.

I have a Cort A4 Plus bass and a Yamaha Pacifica 311h. I picked the Cort because of the neck-through construction and the great hardware (Hipshot & Bartolini), build quality is decent enough. A Pacifica is probably the highest quality instrument you can get for the price and I'm still glad that I bought it as my first guitar. Seriously, Yamaha have their shit together.

I was originally going to buy an Ormsby GTX instead of a bass, but changed my mind because my Pacifica didn't feel like it needed to be replaced. I still want to buy that Ormsby in the future though.

Technically off-topic, but I have an Orange Crush 20 RT amp which is great for the money, but I regret buying a combo amp at all. All those YouTube guitar teachers convinced me that you need a 200 dollar combo amp to start playing which is bullshit. I just bought a 50 dollar headphone amp which sounds great and allows me to practice with headphones (the Orange has a headphone output too, but I don't want to drag around a big amp if I'm not gonna use it). The headphone amp only has a volume knob so no gain or distortion etc. but I don't mind. I can use it for both my bass and my guitar and it sounds great.

Speaking of that I am looking for an amp with a headphone jack. I live in an apartment complex now and you have to keep the neighbors happy. I found a Strat w/ hardcase and a Peavey amp that has a headphone jack for $450. Located locally on Facebook. Guy never wrote me back, so the search continues.

BC Rich Warlock Revenge - pretty heavily modded, I replaced the pickups with DiMarzio Super Distortions (in white, with matching rings, to match the white body), the tuners with Schallers, and it's been rewired to just have a volume pot and a pickup switch. I keep it in standard tuning. This is my main guitar.

Fender Jazz Bass - standard Mexican Jazz, standard tuning, maple fretboard. Nice low action for some growl.

BC Rich Mockingbird Platinum - not modded yet, I want to do the same pickup/tuner upgrade as I did on my Warlock when I have the money. This one plays really nice, and it's a lot easier to transport than the Warlock. I put it into standard as a backup for live shows, but aside from that I'll stick some fat strings on it and mess about with lower tunings.

Pearl Forum drum kit - ancient and pretty low end, but I've got it sounding pretty decent. I've taken all the bottom hoops and heads off, so it's a more 80s sound, then with Remo Pinstripes and a couple of bits of Moongel on each tom it sounds nice and boxy. I mostly just run one rack tom. My snare is a Pearl Sensitone 14x6.5, and I've recently started using a Remo Control Sound head on that, which I'm really liking. My pedals are Tama Iron Cobras, and the rest of my hardware is mostly Pearl stands. My cymbals are mostly Paiste Alphas, I've got a Full Ride, some Metal Edge hats, and a 20" Metal Crash. I've never actually used those hats and that crash though, 'cause I have my old cracked cymbals on just now until I need to record - Sound Edge hats, and 18" Metal and Rock crashes. I'm trying to get a replacement 18" Metal Crash. I also have a PST7 china, which sounds great, but I don't use that for my current projects.

Touring kit - Pearl Session Pro (I think) kick, Vision rack tom, and an Export floor tom, which technically belong to a mate who used to be my live drummer, but he has multiple better kits and it lives at my practice space, so this is what comes on the road.

Dean Metalman V bass - this is not a great instrument, the body is essentially plywood, and the pickup is super clippy. But it's amazing fun to play live. I've not really touched this since getting my Jazz, but when I get round to recording downtuned stuff I'll be restringing this into lower tunings and using it again.

BC Rich KKV Warlock - Kerry King signature, with all the awful tribal shit - mercifully covered with stickers. This was my first guitar, and I don't really want to get rid of it, partly for nostalgia, and partly 'cause it's probably not worth much 'cause it's pretty battered. The neck actually plays surprisingly nicely though.

Microkorg - fun little synth that I've had for a while and still haven't properly explored. Once the next Venomwolf record is done I'm gonna focus on my dungeon synth again I think, so this'll see some action there.


And then there's all the virtual instruments and recording gear, not to mention all my amps, cabs, and pedals. But these are the instruments, at least.

You should get a Neunaber Neuron Preamp pedal and the Neunaber Iconoclast speaker emulator, they both work really well together to get an authentic amp tone and its easy to run it through headphones.

Late 80s kramer
Heavily modded early 90s fender jazz (my main bass)
Nate Mendel fender p bass

I will check into them. Thank you for the info.

I've got the following instruments at the moment...

Guitars:

Monson Scourge - Custom-built by Brent Monson, this is the 4th Scourge in existence. Single bridge trembucker (Seymour Duncan Black Winter) - no volume or tone knobs, just a killswitch. Full blast or fuck off, I say! Obviously, this thing is built for metal riffs, and not much else. Kept in D Standard.

Jackson King V - EMG 81/85 setup. Kept in D Standard.

Charvel D-ST1 - A fun star-shaped guitar, 81/85 setup as well. Kept in B Standard.

Wolf LP - A South Korean Les Paul copy, the guitar is surprisingly well built! Very comfortable to play. Currently kept in Standard.

Luna Folk Acoustic - Nice and simple, sounds good. Kept in Standard.

Basses:

Monson VKB - Custom-built by Brent Monson, the first (and thus far only) of its kind. This shape was a fusion of two of his other shapes, at my request. Giant instrument, does not fit normal bass cases.

BC Rich Warlock Revenge - Blood-spatter on white. Fun bass to dick around with.


I've never been a fan of the basic dot inlays that most guitar fretboards have, and not a single one of my instruments have them. The Monson's both have custom claw inlays, the Jackson has the sharkfins, etc.

I think that's everything. All are set up in different tunings. the Rockstar I used to use live. the Imperial I use for tracking exclusively.

got a ton of cabs and heads but ya didn't ask about that.

Yamaha Pacifica hambuckler coil. Works good with line 6 50W. I get good gain. Bought the guitar for around 250$

GEWApure ps503 relatively cheap guitar, and with the line 6 I've got I can't get a tone for metal, I would invesy money into pedals but I can do it on pro tools with digital plugins and I can get a 70's Deep Purple tone. Its very heavy rock but I get a lot of buzzing on the background from the overdrive pedal. Might analyse it on a post here.

I started out playing bass but have now largely switched to guitar. I've always been pretty cheap when it comes to instruments, so most my instruments are low quality garbage.

Squier P-Bass Dark Grey (Actually a really solid instrument all things considered. To a degree I still prefer this bass to any other bass I've ever owned, but it looks kinda shit.)
Ibanez BTB675 Natural (Great 5-string bass in my opinion. It definitely helped me get better at playing. Also definitely the most expensive instrument I've ever owned. The shape is awesome, but the natural finish is ass.)
Epiphone SG Matte Cherry (My first guitar, and not very good. Played it longer than I should have, and I can tell you at a point it was definitely hampering my learning curve, especially with its MASSIVE neck-diving.)
Epiphone SG Glossy Cherry (Me second guitar, and still not very good. Bought it because it was heavier than my Matte Cherry SG and so had less neck-dive and I wanted to stay with something close to what I was used to. It's fitted with EMG pickups, and honestly I hate active pickups because of the whole changing batteries thing.)
Jackie Jackson Flying V Black/White (Basically a no-name Epiphone/Gibson knockoff. Not super terrible, but definitely no Gibson. Bought it because a black Gibson Flying V with white pick guard is basically my dream guitar, but they are super hard to find (and insanely expensive) around these parts. This is the guitar I'm currently playing the most because it doesn't have active pickups.)
Cataluña Western Guitar (The only acoustic I've ever owned. Cheap no-name, gets the job done considering I don't think I'll ever get better at the instrument in any meaningful capacity.)

So yeah, I really REALLY want a Gibson Flying V at some point... I'll strike when the opportunity presents itself.

Being a multi-instrumentalist and collecting for quite some time, I've accumulated more than I care to list, but a few notables.

*A bunch of guitars, my main one varies, but probably either my PRS DGT or Reverend Spacehawk.
*Quite an assortment of drums and cymbals, but my main set is mostly Pearl and Meinl.
*A lot of keyboards/synthesizers, my favorite is either an Oberheim/Dave Smith OB6 or an Access Virus TI.
*A few basses, particularly my Ibanez defretted 6-string.
*An alto saxophone, a few mandolins, an accordion, harmonicas, assorted percussion instruments (jembes, bongos, udu, darbuka), and accessories, and other odds and ends of things, including a violin and digeridoo, neither of which I have yet to learn how to play properly.
*Tons of pedals, amps, cabs and so on. Not per se instruments necessarily, though when I hook up all of my Moogerfoogers and such they might as well be their own instrument.

some death whistles
a collection of various microphones. condenser, ribbon, and dynamic (I'd call them as important as the instrument)
about 7 synthesizers I have designed and built for fun over the years
some midi keyboards
a midi drum pad for writing
way too many pedals

gear is a fun, but painful addiction

Jeez, those are some mighty impressive lists, much envy.
As a complete amateur who used to play but kept the instruments in the hope eventually I'll start again, there are as a result a variety of basics in the house:
two mandolins
an old Liverpool acoustic piano
a Kawai digital piano
two acoustic guitars
one bass
one Washburn electric guitar
one Marshall amp

Plenty for practicing on.
