Don't you feel bad not donating money to charity? If I had that much money I'd try and help someone out.

I have a shitty guitar and a shitty amp.

i'm pretty ridiculously poor. i've simply had a long time to amass this stuff, and i live rather cheaply. also, i've only paid for audio software twice (and both were cheap bundle deals). the drumset is the only thing that cost any major amount of money.
the highest paying job i've ever had was $10 per hour. my current job is $8 per hour.

mim jazz bass into a ampeg ba210sp (sucks)

i have a vexter fuzz factory, a mxr blue box, a voodoo lab sparkle drive & a dod meatbox

my amp has cheesey effects so it's fun to set the fuzz factory to a squeal & then like use it's cheesey delay & wiggle my volume knobs to make like noises that hurt. it makes me want to go buy an actual delay pedal.

the meatbox has no knobs so i dont' really use it.. but if anyone has dod knobs they want to send me i'll gladly accept them

i don't have a band :(

i want a big muff :o

delays and big muffs are cheap.

the only physical gear i'm really itching for right now is a midi trumpet, but i don't see myself dropping the cash for quite some time. i've mostly been enamored with digital goods.

here's two of my latest downloads (hell no, i wouldn't pay for this stuff), which i see myself spending many hours behind...

It's all in storage at the moment, but what I have...

Sammick guitar
(basically a Fender ripoff, nothing fancy. It's the same guitar I've had since I first learned to play.)

Crate Vintage Club series tube amp
(looks a lot like this one http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/rufiobass4/DSCN0279.jpg and again, I've had this one since I first learned to play.)

Zoom 3030 FX pedal
(nifty multi-effects pedal that gets the job done)

Boss Hyper Fuzz pedal
( http://www.chrisguitars.com/boss-fz2-040204.jpg , if you want your guitar to sound like death incarnate, then I suggest this one.)

DOD Envelope Filter pedal
( http://www.chrisguitars.com/dod-envfilter-031023.jpg , a wonderfully doofy pedal.)

Korg Triton Pro-X 88 key synth
(Probably the most expensive thing I ever bought, and sadly, I haven't used it much in recent years though I hope to be using it again in the not too distant future because it really is an amazing synth.)

Other than that, I have the usual assortment of mics 'n crap lying around. Also have my old Alto Saxophone from when I was in band and an old accordian. Hooray :o
