two amps:

Matamp Little rock in red and white livery with an old 70's carlsboro cab cut down to 2x12 size and recovered with red tolex

and a champ amp kit i built and need to re-house as a nice combo i think

Guitars (the keepers):
1 HSS with crawler and mothers milks
1 with a mule manhattan combo.

They are keepers because one i consider too flawed to sell but far too nice to destroy (although thats been considered)... its now staying as my main guitar.  the other is my fanned fret proto which is so nice i dont want to finish it off.. might sell it if i do ever finish it... gotta keep something back

Other BKP's i have had on my guitars
holydiver
mircale man
Holdworth 'prototype' humbucker
Nailbombs
BKP-92

also have some riff-raffs waiting to go on a guitar in the next two weeks (fingers crossed!!) and some nickle dog eared P-90's in the not to distant future

My favourite:

Legra MDV602 with C-Pig and Cold Sweat

Into

Powerball

With Boss EQ20 in the FX, cutting about 3db of 6.4 k and 5db of 400Hz (to tame the slightly ice-pick highs and further tighten the bass)

Bogner Ubercab

---------

If anyone wants to know (if you dont, skip!!!!)

Others:

Amps/modellers
TSL 602 w/ JJs
Roland Cube 30 (I play through this most of the time)
Vox Tonelab LE
Pod XT

Guitars:

In rough order of preference (changes with application obviously, but in general)

Custom shop dean with Custom Miracle man and 2 x Uber trilogies

Jackson DX1 with WP/2x IT

Dean Z w/ Painkillers

Epi Beast w/ Swinshead Xbucker and Warthog

The Deathocaster (a westfield somethingorother cheapo) w/ Sinner bridge and stock neck and middle

Ibanez RG7321 w/ swinshead venoms

The Gimp: a no longer recognisable Hondo Deluxe 760, I think (I long since covered the headstock with a sticker) with a kent armstrong distortion in the bridge, a duncan designed single middle (that used to be in the jackson) and a neck humbucker made from the Dean's Dean SCs that are RCRW (so I couldnt resist). It used to be SSS, and has been modded in other ways many times.

Guitar: Indie Signature, Cold Sweat & Ceramic Warpig

And uh.. That's it.

I'm hoping to get an ESP Horizon FR II and smack a Miracle Man set in there.

In general use:
Orange Tiny Terror.
Calibrated ceramic warpig set in a Maverick prototype.

Out of general use:
Kustom 10watt practice amp (My first amp without battery power!)
Indie IT-70 (Not very nice hybrid amp)

Lent to an old (60+) folk musician:
Vintage Metal AXXE Razer with stock pickups (and hopefully never coming back!).

Acoustics (for the odd time I want one)
Guvnor electrocoustic in flame maple (only a veneer unfortunately)
Guvnor cheapo Dreadnought (currently tuned down to an alt. tuning with a low C. Much better than the electrocoustic and less than half the price although the fretwire is shot...)
I too use chicken as a measurement.
