I've only been into home recording for a few months now and I'm doing a lot of school work so I haven't had the time to accumulate a lot of stuff. This is what I use right now.

Bass:
MIM Jazz -> Boss LM-2B -> Boss GE-7B -> Yorkville MB100

Guitar:
MIJ Squier Strat -> Boss LM-2B -> Dunlop Wah -> Marshall BluesBreaker II pedal -> Yorkville MB100
I have to roll off the lows when I play the guitar through my bass amp but other than that it sounds good.

Then I run the amp's line out into my SBLive!

I use Sound Forge for sound editing and Cakewalk Sonar for mixing everything up.

I also have a MIDI keyboard that I use a lot. I got a bunch of Hammond B3 Sound Fonts from SonicImplants. I love those.

I use a pair of Grado Labs headphones right now.

Gear I'm planning on aquiring some time in the next few months:
FMR Audio Really Nice Compressor (it's supposed to be really nice)
SABDDI
Boss DD-3 or DD-5 to use with the guitar.
Studio Monitors

 

My chain (simple, but gives a good sound)

this has come just in time.. i'm selling my stingray5 next week and am planning to upgrade my pc, get some software and start makin moosic.

any advice (ie, what soundcard, software, keyboard etc...) will be be much appreciated!

 

Midiman Audiophile and Delta cards are good cards.
Driver support for Win98, Me, 2k/XP, MacOS, Linux.
Asio (Cubase), EASI (Logic), GSIF (Gigasampler/studio) support.
Good ADDA converters, 24bit/96kHz capable.

STAY AWAY from the SBlive or the new Audigy - they are advertised for recording, but they don't deliver - and the driver support is abysmal.

 

I paid 420 DM - 210 Euro

 

Bass:
Peavey Cirrus 4str (newest addition)
Spector NS2000-4
Fretless Warwick Thumb BO 4str (sold)

Guitar:
Gibson SG

Guitar FX:

Amplifyer:
EBS Gorm ET350

Soundcard: SBLive

Computer:
P3 500Mhz, 128MB RAM

Sequencing software:
Logic Audio Silver w a lot of free plugins.

I recently made the dumb mistake of buying the SB Audigy and still haven't got it to work with Logic...

 

My fabulous home recording studio equipment:

Rick 4003 -> Korg Pandora -> PC -> Sonic Foundry Vegas

 

Tobias and Washburn Basses. J station, on 2 channels, DIrect from GK 200 amp DI on 1 channel, Miked Cabinets (2x10 and 1x15) on 1 Sure SM 57. All mixed through a Soundcraft spirit mixer. Rack stuff includes Lexicon MPX 100, And Digitech Studio Quad, Currently looking for a new compressor, Looking at Samsons new stuff otherwise will probably go with RNC or DBX.

Going to try something tommrow Installing a Second sound card to see if I can have 4 inputs running together into Cakewalk Sonar.
