Well, I don't think I'm going to take pictures but I will say what I own.

I've got an El' Degas classical guitar. An electric bass of unknown orgins. An Epiphone Japanese model guitar...Not the Les' Paul. I have a student model Bestlers Viola and a student model Bestlers cello. An arched acoustic guitar of which the brand I cannot remember. A Marshall amp ( my pride and joy)...Several big speaker boxes.

The Marimba, which you're thinking of is different. Like Marimba, Kalimba and the others are regional words, which depend on the region of Africa in question.

I only have a cheap samick bass right now, but I want an Egyptian Riqq or some type of frame drum.

I play a Carvin 5 string fretless bass. I also have a G&L 4 string SB-1, a Washburn acoustic guitar, and a Gibson SG. On the amp end of things I have a SWR Workingman's 15 and a Fender BXR-100. Both bass amps with 15'' speakers. I love this stuff. Everyone has to get their geek-on sometimes.

How do you like the Ampeg compared to the SWR gear? I have always heard really good things about Ampeg. The next thing on my list to get is a decent stack and I was kind of interested in Ampeg. I really like SWR sweet, sweet tone. Although I have been hearing some bad things about SWR in past couple of years.

Speaking of taking vintage equipment to gigs. . . The band and I where playing a gig at a local bar and after the set we started to brake stuff down. The door out to the van was behind the drummer, so we let him tear down first so we could get buy him. Our rhythm guitar player loved playing his '68 Les Paul that he has had since he was 8. He placed the guitar in the stand and the rest of us went to the bar and waited for the drummer to tear down. We all just happened to turn around at the same time to check on the drummer’s progress, and just as we turned around the drummer was pulling on a stubborn tom that didn't want to detach from the rack. He yanked and it gave way suddenly sending him flying backward. Right into the Les Paul. Snapped it right in two. I can still hear my buddy’s scream.
