I just want to show off my collection. My 12 string is a 1993 360/12 WB, bass is a 2011 4003 which I just put a pearloid pickguard on
my other instruments are american deluxe strat ash with maple neck, s1 switch, cobalt noiseless pickups, and pyramid flat strings, a martin D-16RGT with fishman pickup, recently upgraded to bone saddle and pins, and gretsch renown 57 drums in motor city blue. Enjoy the pics! any question just let me know

Very nice WB! Way to add to my GAS, man...

Nice collection!

Nice fleet there !
On your WB, what is that little cardboard looking square above the R-Tailpiece ?

One of everything. I like it. You could be another one man studio band with that collection.

Cool Gretsch set. How is you home made Subkick® mic working out?

thanks everyone. I am quite proud of my collection. To answer some questions, that cardboard looking thing is actually a piece of tape wrapped around the strings to stop them from ringing when I choke them on the other side of the saddle. I'm pretty sure I can get some kind of foam, but this is all I have handy ATM.

I actually am a one man band with this very collection! XD I'm recording my first album for a client right now, and I'm very happy with how these instruments are blending together right now.

The sub kick is actually pretty good. it takes a little eq after the recording, but it does add extra thump to the overall sound, so even though it looks pretty amateur, I'm overall happy with the results and would recommend getting/making one. just make sure you use the right kind of speaker. the first speaker I put in that home made frame sounded awful.

The driver used for a sub kick type of mic would need to have a very low compliance and Fs to actually do what these kind of "mics" are supposed to do, so I suppose the first driver was too tight?

I think it was, it was very pingy and ringy sounding. It was also a little smaller, and didn't really pick up the low frequency content

I have the same Martin, sans upgrades, and consider it the best sounding acoustic I ever had, The rest of your gear looks great, too.

LOVE that kit! Wow!

The martin sound amazing, everyone always comments on how great it sounds. Its got a very open type of tone, and I love it! The upgrades do make a difference in tone, but not huge. but its only about $60 for the pins+saddle so I figured WTH haha.

My drums need to be upgraded next, new skins I think

That Gretsch drum kit is just awesome !!! Congrats !!!
