The Black Keys Fan Lounge Forum

Dear fellow musicians and gear idiots,

I thought it would be nice to know what you guys use for making music. Guitars, amps, effects, accessoires...

Cheapo drumset that has the perfect old school sound
Ventura Hollowbody Bass
Generic keyboard
Electric Upright Bass
Ibanez guitar and a Gibson Flying V
Small no name combo amp (great distortion)
Peavy tnt bass amp
Tons of percussion
Borrow and trade alot of instruments
Fostex 16 track
3 Behringer copies of a shure SM 58
Vintage no name mic
Def a DIY musician and producer. Finding weird and wacky ways to create sounds
and effects people can easily make with technology.

Hold the phone, Stingybrim? What was your old username? I remember reading the old forum and seeing that you had all that gear. What happened to your tiny terror and ampeg gemini? Sold off? Thats a serious bummer, anyway heres my humble list of gear:

Epiphone les paul, with Duncan '59 in bridge, GFS Mean 90 in neck, Roller bridge, GFS Tuners, switchcraft output jack and toggle switch.

Fender DG-100 acoustic guitar, modified with under-saddle pickup, GFS Tuners. (great sounding acoustic, shocking really)

Vox AC4TV, (Just picked it up today!)
Pignose 7-100 legendary portable amp (seriously great fuzztones)
Vox V847, to be modded with area 51 drop in kit.
Danelectro Cool Cat Vibe CV-1, In the mail

Guilty as charged. Stingybrim = jvande7.

And yeah I had to sell my '65 Gemini. My wife is not working and money is tight. I could never even play the damn thing anyways - bitchy neighbors. Lost a bunch of money selling that amp. Ah well, groceries and rent money are more useful.

Epiphone Wildkat
Fender Stratocaster (mexican)
Crate GXF65
Fender Hot Rod Deluxe
Hoof Fuzz
Big Muff

Think I'm going to buy an MBOX this weekend for recording. Anyone had expereince with one? I've heard good things.

Yes it would have

You guys possess awesome shit. I will now dare to list my pathetic collection:

1971 Ludwig drum kit with Paiste 2oo2 cymbals
1972 Slingerland kit
5 snare drums
Hofner Violin Bass
Two shitty Peavey amps
A B-52 half stack
Mexican Strat
$75 Crate bass head
Boss gt-6 processor
shure/akg/audio technica mics
tascam 2488
and of course the great Casiotone CT-605

I got a Epiphone Black Beauty Les Paul and A Reverend BuckShot through a Fendor Deville HotRod (can't use anythin but valves for amps in my opinion) er got a electro harmonix POG (not used that often with the hokes as we already have a bass player but on my other stuff its used more) er got a vox reissue wah, n use a electro harmonix big muff tone wicker n thats it tbh! i jst love the sound of a guitar n amp in all honesty altho i do want to start gettin some fatter sounds!
