Using It for recording Solo and lead section of his songs

As far as equipment, do you have favorite amps/guitars etc. that you use? Are you more of a classic Gibson/Fender type of person? When I’m playing rock and metal music. I’m always playing ESP basses. I just got a new custom model from Japan. I now have 2 custom made ones that I helped to design for myself. I use Ampeg for amps. You can’t go wrong with them.
