prophetik music Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 we've got a "post your workspace" thread, but no live instrument thread. so, what are you packing? the only rule is that it has to be a traditional instrument - like a trumpet or a guitar - so no midi controllers, no rackmount effects, and no amps. if you got it used, list what you paid for it =) if it's new, don't worry about it. i've currently got: selmer paris series III alto sax, serial number 628xxx - bought new conn tenor sax (garage sale special!) - 100$ and a pair of nice football cleats ibanez EW20ZWENT acoustic guitar (that's the zebrawood one) - bought new washburn 12-string acoustic from the early 90s (don't remember the model), no pickup - 50$ and two matched audio technica dynamic mics kay 8-string mandolin, circa 1971, no pickup - 175$, and it came with a case and two sets of strings arbor semi-hollow electric guitar with aftermarket tuners and electronics (new, as of today!) - 175$ fender 4-string acoustic bass guitar - 100$, came with a properly fitted gig bag esp 6-string electric bass (spalted maple top) - 100$ and a behringer 6-input mini mixer we also got an upright grand for free off of craigslist when we were in ithaca. i don't remember the manufacturer, but it was made in the 20s and weighs roughly a thousand pounds or so. oh, and it's missing a wheel and a few ivories, but nothing major Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishy Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Ok why not. Guitars: My main guitar is an Ibanez RG1570. I have yet to find another guitar that plays as smoothly as this one. I've played other prestige RGs but there's always something missing. Could use some better pickups but luuurvly. Pretty much all the lead guitars on my tracks use this guy, as well as all the standard tuning rhythm songs. My main backup guitar is a Jackson Dinky. No idea exactly what model as it has no serial number. From what the Jackson owners club can tell me, this probably means it's a custom shop creation that either had a fault, was some kind of twisted experiment, or even just that it arrived at the QC factory with missing tools. All I know is it's pretty cool looking. I keep it in dropped D, so most of my dropped D parts use this. The most significant of my 'other' guitars is an Ibanez Jazzbox. Made from cocobolo as part of their exotic tonewood collection, the entire AJD series dissapeared in less then a year. Bad sales or summat, I dunno. I think it's fun. I call it Chocobolo . Ibanez Gio, first guitar, woo! B.C. Rich Mick Thompson signature... don't ask... 80s Silvertone. So old school. So very old school. Tanglewood acoustic. Nameless nylon string. Other: Wesley 5-String Bass Stagg Mandolin. Piece of crap, high strings keep breaking for no reason. Beaver Creek Ukulele. $35 thrift store. Bargain.

DusK Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Schecter C1+ with an EMG 81 in the bridge and an EMG 85 in the neck - $400 Ibanez Gio, not sure what model exactly, got it over half a decade ago new Squier P-Bass - $50 I used to have a Schecter Tempest Custom with an EMG 81/85 set, paid a grand total of $900 for that guitar after putting in those pickups. Shame it got stolen. That was my baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabeel Ansari Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I'm probably setting off a bomb for pro guitarists here, but: I have a First Act Electric Guitar I picked up at Toys R Us a year ago. I run it through Guitar Rig 4 Pro, which I got for free when I bought Audio Kontrol 1. Sounds pretty decent, but I haven't replaced the strings... ever, period. And that was a year ago, so I might be overdue on that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skummel Maske Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 B.C. Rich Mick Thompson signature... don't ask... Haha, me too! My primary guitar is an Ibanez RG2570 - Bought for about 1100 dollars a couple of years ago. My feelings about this guitar are pretty much the same as Fishy's about the 1570. As for the rest: -An Ibanez SA260FM that's been pretty much downgraded to a backup guitar -The BC Rich Mick Thompson signature, although with a Dimebucker that's probably about the same value as the guitar itself. It's tuned to D, and I keep it handy for those extra heavy rhytm tracks. -No-brand acoustic nylon guitar from a custom shop in Denmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theshaggyfreak Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Here's the full list of what I have but I'll post some pics of the more interesting stuff: This is a Remo Bodhran. I don't use this guy enough. This accordion is pretty old. It's one that I inherited from my grandfather a very long time ago. While it's a wee bit out of tune, it still plays. This is the first instrument I ever played. It's a Buffet clarinet and it's VERY old. I estimate that it's about 75 years old or so. It needs some work done on it to get it back to playing condition but it's still functional. This is my 82 Les Paul Custom that I inherited from my uncle. It's quite the heavy beast.

prophetik music Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 wait, you've got a 75-year-old buffet clarinet? ...how much do you want for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theshaggyfreak Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 wait, you've got a 75-year-old buffet clarinet?...how much do you want for it? Oh, I'm not looking to part with it right now. Right now I'm only estimated how old it is. I've had a lot of trouble find much information about it via Buffet themselves. The serial number that's on the clarinet doesn't exactly match any thing they have listed on their site. I really need to have someone who knows more about them to look at it. I've had it since I was eight years old (1982). From what I remember, the woman my mother bought it from said it was in her attic for 30-40 years. I have no idea who the original owner was. I'd really love to know how much the thing is worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prophetik music Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 the series II super action 80 horns retail for around 3500 if they're paris models, closer to 2800 if they're US-made. just fyi. most music shops will sell for around 3k, though, since the 3500$ is the msrp.

theshaggyfreak Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I did a bit more research on the Clarinet and it seems that it may have been a model made in Germany somewhere in the 40s or early 50s. It's one of the Evette and Schaeffer models and it's probably a student model. Apparently the E&S Buffet instruments are really hard to date.

Arcana Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I played Bb Baritone for two years in elementary school. I miss it sometimes (though trombone is way more versatile). It was a Yamaha-made one, very small but it had a nice, warm sound (especially in comparison to the trombones). Maybe when I'm rich I'll buy a baritone again and rock out.
