Musicians of AF, show us your gear!

I have a bunch of guitars but no pictures as of yet.

1997 Fender Stratocaster California Series
A recent ESP LTD strat-style - can't recall the model off hand.
Epiphone SG autographed by Neal Schon.
Shit Ibanez bass with a shit Fender bass amp.  I wanted to learn bass a few years ago, never really came to fruition.

Currently between amps.  My Fender Princeton Reverb 12 went to amp heaven, my partner's son annexed my Roland Cube 20x, and the rest ended up lost in the divorce.  For now I play through a Boss somethingorother pedal board and headphones.

I'm seriously considering buying a small tube amp.

Small tube amps? Well, if we're limiting it to cheap tube amps that are new, there's a lot of options: Vox Valvetronix, AC4 or maybe 10, and Nutube series (MV50 and VX50); Orange Micro Terror; Fender Super Champ, Pro Junior, and Bassbreaker; Blackstar HT1 or HT5. Well, that's just to start.

Also, there's the Pignose. I also use it sometimes (my pic above is nowhere near comprehensive for all the gear me and my Dad have) and it holds its own. You can even carry it as a portable amp (it takes batteries) and maybe even plug it into the board during gigs. It doesn't do cleans (at least not without a booster of some kind), but it does some fine distortion. It's not my main amp because, well, the Beatles didn't use it to create their decade-defining music.
