The bass is a Dean Edge 4 which I love (I'm a bass player). The guitar is a $99 cheapo Kramer that I shouldn't have got the tremelo bridge on because it wont stay inb tune very well. They're both dirty as hell though... I should've cleaned them.

Check out http://musicianwar.com/

There's a public access section that has a couple wars up.

Amature and pro musicains from around the world upload mp3's and compete against each other. The voters (other site members) leave feedback on your playing. I've been a member for around 5 years and it has helped my playing and recording skills dramatically.

I've played since '93.
I have about seven guitars, but I don't feel like finding the pictures of them.
Here is my latest purchase... which oddly enough will be traded tomorrow for a Mexican Telecaster.

It's a Schecter C-1+ Diamond Series.

I love a heavy guitar, it seems to stay put when youre jumping around, not bounce and swing as easy.

Aight, here are a few of mine...

(http://www.coolcats.net/ximages/yamaha01.jpg)
Yamaha acoustic, circa 1984 model

(http://www.coolcats.net/ximages/virgin02.jpg)
My custom B.C. Rich Virgin. This was ordered in 1991, right before B.C. Rich filed for bankruptcy (wasn't sure if they'd be around so I hurried up and pushed the order through). It's a blood red metallic with gold hardware, reverse headstock and natural finish on the neck. Here's one with the flash on, showing the metallic finish:

By the way...it truly was a virgin until a few years ago, when I changed the original strings. It's been played maybe a few dozen times since new.

I also have a B.C. Rich Ironbird model from 1989. It's in pieces for restoration...I'll snap pix when I can.

Oh yeah...I still can't play for shiznit. ;)

All I have is an Acoustic. I'm thinking about an Ibanez, I dont know what yet though. Im an Electric kinda guy. I cant play to save my life. Nothing better than Iron Man, Smoke on the Water and Enter Sandman.

If youre looking into an Ibanez electric that wont break the bank, and still plays nice, look into the GSA60. I have a GSA20, and the only difference between the two is that the 60 has two single coil pickups, and a humbucker, where the 60 has a pair of humbuckers. The 20 has a more "traditional" sound that most people who just get into electric guitars look for. The fretboard is wide enough for people with slightly large fingers, but not too wide to where you strugle to play fast.

I think you can get em for less than 300 bucks, and its a killer guitar.

Thats the way Im gonna go. A friend of mine who has a band, recommended ESP? He said they are farely cheap and last quite awhile, and sound great.

they arent bad, used by heavier bands
that would be my vote over ibanez

I guess I'd better chime in. Since someone here seems to be a Fender man, and has a taste for the Jazz Master, here's my Mexican Jazz, and Yammy.
