Hey everyone, I'm primarily a jazz/lead trumpet player, but I played guitar first--been in a few bands playing guitar & singing. Love me some rock, be it Van Halen or Green Day. Check out my gear!

Gear 6

This was the first electric guitar I ever got. It was a gift from my dad, and at the time I loved it. Since then, I've grown as a musician and my focus has shifted from guitar to trumpet (that's what I'm studying in school), but before that, I did some mods to this guitar such as: - swapping the stock pickups for the Seymour Duncan Hot Rodded HB set - adding a kill switch right between the knobs - putting Sperzel tuners on -- This guitar got me through tons of gigs in my high school rock band until I built a custom Warmoth Tele
I've been a trumpet player for about 10 years now, and have owned 3 professional trumpets. This one is by far the best I've played. Its lightweightedness allows for quick, easy response--especially in the upper register! A great horn for long, taxing gigs on the chops. Perfect for playing lead trumpet, but also a fine choice for classical "legit" gigs.
This was a hand me down from my dad (Also a guitarist). He had one of the super old ones (black shell, yellow lettering) and when he bought the new one he gave me that one. I love it for solos, it gives you that extra bit of creamy boost for leads. Excellent pedal if you've got the money.
A while back--when I was still in a band--I bought this wah pedal because I needed it for some solos. Funny enough, my dad talked me into getting this one over the standard Crybaby. And I'm SO glad that he did. The Q dial on this thing really helps it stick out in the mix!
I use these mics for my home recordings. They came in a set (duh), for about $100, so they aren't the greatest needless to say, but they sound fine on voice, acoustic guitar, speaker cabs, piano and trumpet. If you're looking to start a home studio on a budget, get these.
I use this mic for live vocal performances--definitely gets the job done. It has a full sound without getting muddy in the mids, so it's great for my voice's timbre.
