My 'Japan Standard' Strat.

 

My Yamah G130A nylong string guitar, bought used in 1973 for $37.50. ('How much you want?' 'Oh, 35 or 40 bucks... I just want it to go to someone who'll appreciate it.')

 

My original Mackie 1202 board, bought in the very early 90s. It's taken an extraordinary lickin' and it's still tickin'. (And you can thank those sealed rotary pots on the master faders that they used instead of sliders.)

 

The combination of my Yamaha "Natural Sound' RX70 receiver's continuously variable EQ countour and my Yamaha NS10m speakers, which I use for casual listening and work. I never liked the NS10m's flat, found them hard to work with, particularly with re bass/sub-bass -- but that ol' passive contour just warms -- and smooths -- them right up. Go figure. (I have a pair of Event 20/20bas that I use for serious work with the NS10m's run flat on the side for 'reference.')

 

My $50 3/4 size classical guitar (an Angelica, from Sam Ashe... do not buy them sight unseen, though, the quality varies a fair amount... not as bad as, say, Fender's American Standard lines, but, it's pretty uneven. :D )

 

My DVR cable box. (How is this related to music? Before I had the DVR, I used to watch TV way, way too much. I'd watch old Law & Order re-runs I might have seen 3 or 4 times just in case there was nothing good on later. Now I turn on the TV when I want and watch what I want -- and I probably watch about 25% as much and enjoy it 1000% more.)

 

Blockfish. The Timeworks 64 bit EQ and compressor/limiter plugs I got with Sonar 1 or 2. The Z3 organ plug. (I also really like the Edirol plug set that came with Sonar 4, all around good tool set.)

 

My RNC and my RNP. Oh, wait, I don't have an RNC or an RNP... I might have to do something about that.

 

 

------------------

 

PS... if we're gonna start talking pets, of course, my cat, Duke. (So named because when I took him in, he was thin, white, and had two different colored eyes.)
