What's your dream rig? Dream guitar? What kind of setup would you like to have to play to a screaming, roiling crowd of 100,000 people?

I'd have a custom Gibson Les Paul with a larger cutaway (easier access to top frets), 24 fret neck, a Floyd Rose tremolo and a D-tuner. My rig (dunno how I would do this) would be running a Marshall Plexi and a Mesa Mark V through a Marshall 4x12 cab, with an effects chain with delay, reverb, wah, slight overdrive, and EQ to get an absolutely massive sound.

Go!

Paul Gilbert's Reverse Iceman looks sexy as fuuuuuck.
Either that or the cream coloured Strat Yngwie Malmsteen uses.

Did someone say gear sluts?
Spoilered images inbound! The guitars:
Spoiler

Amber, my main bass. A beautiful Schecter Stiletto Studio Six. I fucking love all that alliteration. Behind her is a five string I no longer have and Jessica, my four that I've had for years.

Zoey, my short scale, guitar tuned, Schecter Ultra VI

Natalie, my newest acquisition, an ESP 206SM
Beth, the acousticl

A 1960's Lyle (motsumoku company) SG knock off that I sometimes use for writing purposes
The gear:
Spoiler

I've re-ordered them, but this is still my current effects roster.
I don't have any pictures of my amp setup, but it's a 500 watt Ampeg Portaflex head going into a 210 and 115 PF cab, and for convenience and practice purposes, I have a nice and light Carvin mb210, which at 35 pounds still manages an impressive volume at 250 watts.

There's only one difference I'd make if I had the money. An Ampeg SVT tube head and 8x10 cab.

Why do you have so many guitars? And how much did all of that cost? If you do not mind me asking.

Edit: And it is cute that they all have names! =^.^=
There really isn't a reason other than because I can, lol. And it's nice to have variety in tonal options.
I think in the course of seven years, I've put about five thousand into all of my gear.

You are in a band, right?

I have been wanting to learn to play an instrument for a long time, just for my own entertainment, not to play with other people really. I am unsure of what I would want to play though. I have thought about the guitar and also the violin. I know they are very different, which is why I have a had a difficult time making a choice.
Yup, bass player in a rock cover band, and I do some stuff own my own.

Only picture I had of this one on its own, it's a black strat.

The only guitar I have that's "technically" mine. Also my least favourite

Van Halen's Frankenstrat

Is there much of a difference between playing guitar and playing bass?
That depends. You have to follow the drummer more with a bass. The main point is that you want your lines to be felt more than just heard. That's what rhythm guitar is about, filling in the sound. It's not hard to play bass, it's hard to stand out playing bass, and that's how you recognize the truly great players.

I meant like the chords, are they similar on both instruments? You play both, so I was wondering if you had to learn them both differently, or if they were mostly the same, just obvious differences in rhythm while playing.

If that makes sense...
Er... chords on a bass are rarely used outside of like, avant-garde jazz.
I'm really not much of a guitarist though. I can play power chords and blues scales, so I wouldn't really say I ever learned how to play a guitar.

I neither fear, nor despise.
I've got an Epiphone Les Paul.
Crappy amp, don't wanna mention it lol.

My pedalboard has:
Fulltone Full Drive Mosfet
Boss Digital Reverb
Digitech Whammy
Boss Overdrive/Distortion
OCD Overdrive
Line 6 DL4 Delay
Boss Tremolo

LOTS of boss pedals, want to swap them out though. They are ok, but not the best.

For digital effects, Boss is pretty good unless you wanna put out the money for like, MXR stuff or large box digital EHX pedals.
