I've seen your wonderful guitars.
I've marvelled at your home studios.
I've been WoWed by your recordings.
Jealous of your effects and sounds.....
C'mon let's see your rig/stack/combo.
Please tell us about it. Why you chose it, and what's great about it.

Got this last week in the USA for the boys 21st, the worst bit is I'm left handed 
Fender strat, American deluxe,latest version of.
Plumber for the love of god please tune your **** guitar man!
its tuned 
err...
doesn't sound it.
My Blackstar Series one 100. Swapped my underplayed PRS custom 24 for this. Best decision EVER. Love this amp. Seemed a bit of a folly at the time as I wasn't gigging, but my band's first gig for 12 years is next month.
Just brought this home from LGS for a demo, thinking about buying it for live work.
My tunes. DON'T click if you dont like instrumental guitar music
plumber - Memberits tuned
well, 5/6ths of it is! Although it is a bit hard to tell with the youtube ubercompressor and with all that chorus on 
My own 'rig' is well out of date, would have made me semi-cool about 12 years ago but apart from the guitars, its the sort of stuff that goes for a fifth of its original price on ebay these days. Lives under the bed most of the time, supplanted by pocket pod and headphones.
its in a constant state of tuning flux

Love those Eggle New Yorks on the floor - really wish I'd have bought one at the time
Plum
Amp and my old number one guitar:
Still have the Epiphone but I think this has replaced it as the number one mainly because it has much better higher fret access and is a lot comfier to play! Can't beat the sound and sustain of a good Les Paul though. SGs have the looks and raw tone but it's just the sustain that's lacking in comparison.
Ooooo looks like New Yorks are being built again - no lefties though
Cheers Plumb. The twins are rather special. Bought the blue one in 93 and the pink one a few years later. Bluey is more than a tad gig worn, but I loves them dearly (Although I play my Ibanez PGM most of the time now)
I recall that pic from another thread - truely fantastic looking guitars
I'm kinda coveting PG fireman model at the moment - via Mr Bigs get together and subsequent CD
I don't have a guitar rig (although I do have some guitars).
Will this do?

i got given a Behringer strat replica with a USB recording interface. I have no idea how to play it, but if you live in london and would like to teach me, i would be very grateful!
I have a 1991 Squire Hank Marvin signature strat, my first guitar. Have just loaded it up with Texas Specials (But kept the origionals too!)
Ashdown MAG300-210. Acquired from a fellow Basschatter at a very good price...
Fifteen years-worth of basses...
And my old Trace Elliot BLX-80 lurking behind my even older Musicmaster...
Here's my old rig.....
It's a 50 watter that I bought in 1979! It sounded awesome, but only when played loud, and it was very loud, too loud for pub gigs. I sold it in 2004. Note the lack of effects? Just pure Marshall.
^Awesome! I've always wanted an old Marshall despite them being inconveniently "shit unless turned up all the way". My Laney gets me most of the way there but it's more of a lower-mid than upper-mid tone so it sounds a bit more modern than old school marshall snarl!
@tom - Yes, thanks, it was a beauty. Also, for my birthday my wife sent it back to Marshall for an overhaul. I was gutted to have to sell it, but it went to a good home..... A month after I'd sold it the buyer contacted me to tell me how much he was loving it.
Not amazing unfortunately but hoping to build up some stuff this year after leaving it too long between playing
I do have a Boss chorus pedal and a HSS squier strat to go with the amp, just no pics
Plumber - I've got a '90 LP custom with, coincidentally, a Calvin & Hobbes sticker exactly where yours is. Well, no Calvin, just HObbes. Weird?!
edit: found a picture. ahh, the days of having a motorbike in't kitchen.
Not me in the pic btw, probably a result of the homebrew in the background.
That's no ordinary LP custom though with the pickus is it?
SB
@Bob_S
Rockin' Hobbes there - as you say weird
I also have the same pic on my strat - I wouldn't want anyone to think I'm taking myself seriously 
hmm...
That's the current setup anyway... Whatever the guitar de jour is, plus a Mesa Lone Star Special and my ever-expanding pedalboard.
As of yesterday I am very much looking forward to aquiring my Fathers bass that he used when touring Germany.. Holland and other European destinations in the mid 60s..
He died when I was a nipper.. and out of the few meager possessions that my mum would have liked me to have.. one of the things that she couldn't locate was his fretless bass guitar.. up until now it was considered by us to be lost forever..
I spoke to a guy by email yesterday after a few random acts of chance and coincidence.. to chat about a book he wrote about the era..
He nearly knocked me off my feet by casually informing me that my old mans bass was in his attic.. in it's original case covered in travel stickers from the touring.. my dads girlfriend had left it in his possession shortly after my Dad's passing and he hadn't been sure what to do with it..! It's mine if I want it..
I was more than happy enough to have contacted one of my Dad's old musician mates.. hearing some more about his life will help fill in some gaps for me..
but to then be told that he has what I can only describe as a unicorn in his attic is quite surreal..
photo's etc in due course..
Great unicorn story yunki! And fretless basses are great (I've got three and I'm a guitar player!) so that's great. Hey, he could have been a banjo player, or a souzaphonist...
Oh, and scratch those pedal shots I just posted. I've just ordered a Carl Martin Octaswitch...
Is that a mid 80's Kramer your playing chipps? Sweet guitars.
It's a home-made-in-1987 'rock' guitar. Kramer neck and early Squier body, Floyd Rose and some Gibson pickups. Looks horrible, plays ace.
I do have a mid-80s Charvel too for Spandex trouser moments... but I mainly play more conservative (ish...) guitars these days.
@yunki - wow!!!! It was meant to be!!!! Are you gonna play it? I think you should.
@Chipps - You have a Mesa Lone Star Special!!!! Don't you ever say aw **** and just plug straight in?
I do indeed just plug straight into the Lone Star. I did one gig with the full pedalboard and the next with just a tuner. The pedalboard is useful for things like delay and throbby vibes, but it's mainly for me, rather than for the audience
The Lone Star is fab though. Well worth the Orange Five frame I swapped for it...
It's changed again... and again since this pic, but the monster pedalboard is nearly complete...
