Wish List

So after dreaming with Kathy today about music, I can't stop thinking about the gear I would buy if I had the money. Of course, the next best thing to buying gear is making a list of the gear I want. All that I've been taught about the "practice of discontentment" is going out the window.


Instruments:

Eric Clapton 000-28EC Signature Martin

Nord Stage EX 76

Gretsch G6119 Chet Atkins Hollowbody Electric

Korg microKORG


Software:

Apple Logic Studio

Synthogy Ivory Italian Grand


Okay, obviously this is just for starters. I haven't done enough research on the other stuff yet like guitar pedals, pad sounds, keyboard controller. It might be a better idea to just get a Nord Electro and another keyboard like a Yamaha or Korg Triton. All I really want in a keyboard is weighted keys, the ability to layer easily with sliding controllers, and ability to hook up to my Mac (assuming I have Logic studio, of course). The organ sounds would all come from the Nord so I won't have to look for that in the keyboard, and the piano sounds would come from the Synthogy patch. Ahhh dreams!! I am drooooling...


Nota bene: When God makes the new earth and new Jerusalem, I'm going to be a musician, not a professor.

well for starters you'd want the full tone full drive, line dl6 delay, maybe a dd20 delay with that, a compressor of some sort and a volume pedal....for starters....

What a baller list! I think you out-listed even me. Are you sure you want a Martin over a Lowden?

As for electric guitar gear, you'll want to start out with this:

Vox AC15CC if you want to be conservative. Some boutique amps are really really nice too, and 4x the cost.

Pedals: Tim Overdrive pedal for a transparent OD (or a Timmy if you don't have room or don't need the extra boost). DD-20 delay or the highly praised (and over the top) Empress Super Delay Vintage Modified pedal. Throw in a Rockbox Boiling Point OD or a Klon Centaur OD, and you've got yourself a really nice start. =D
