Ok, I'll play.

Current Rig:
Axe - Peavey HP Special Carved Top (mainly)
Amp - Rhodes Colossus H-100
Cab - EVH 5150 III 1x12 :squint:
FX - Boss GT-100

Dream Rig:
I'd have to say I'm part way there minus the tiny cab and FX.
Axes - a decent 7-string with a Floyd, EBMM JP-XI
Cab - two 2x12 with V30s probably
FX - Eventide H8000FW

Realistically a new cab(s) is my next step.

Current rig is in my sig. I just want to add an ESP Silverburst Eclipse and I'll be set. Maybe a Strymon Blue Sky Reverberator. I can't really think of anything else though. The EVH and matching cab is amazeballs!!!

a schecter s-1 standard
A bunch of pedals
Crate gtd65 (it's more than held up for me since I was 15. I'm 20 now and I see no reason to get rid of it)
random crate 4x12 I found at guitar center used for a hundred bucks

Well, I'm not super gear concerned, but If anything, I'd LOOOVE and Music Man Axis. Every visit to guitar center ends up with me hogging the floor model. I need a nosie gate too, but I can't choose.

Time for an update

Current rig
Gibson Les Paul Standard w/ JB
LTD Maverick w/ no pickups
Ibanez Destroyer w/ no pickups
Washburn 7 w/ no bridge, tuners or pickups
Squier P-bass
Pod HD300

(still waiting on my pots to come in so I can rewire them, and don't have money to fix up the 7)

Dream rig

Guitars and Basses:
My Les Paul with a set of Seth Lovers
ESP Cygnus
ESP Phoenix
ESP Eclipse finished to match my Les Paul
ESP 5 string Surveyor
ESP 5 string Cygnus bass
and even though I don't like the thin necks on RGs, a J Custom

ENGL Fireball
Bogner Uberschall
4 Marshall 1960TV 412s
Keeley modded Boss SD-1
ISP Decimator G-String
Some sort of Wah and Volume pedal
6 Marshal MGs to light on fire
And I know nothing about bass amps, so I'll say an Ampeg since I think that's the sim I use on my POD

And most importantly, the pick of destiny

I've done a number of different rigs and was super stoked on having a 5150 II and an Engl Powerball at once, but in all honesty, nothing has ever sounded as good to me as a Mesa Dual Rec and 5150 paired together. I'm happy with my 5153, but that simple combination is hard to pass up.
My rate of buying and selling heads vs guitars is minimal.
I think about my dream guitar set up more than anything. If money wasn't an issue;
Jackson SL1
ESP Eclipse II (currently own)
ESP Horizon NTII (sold one recently, needed money, but I'll always regret it)
ESP MI (currently own)
Charvel SoCal (white, of course)
ESP explorer
Gibson SG
Ibanez Prestige 7

Current Rig:
Carvin V3M, blackstar 4x12, Ibanez RG 1421F prestige with Duncan JB/invader and a standard Hellraiser solo 6.

Dream Rig:

BKP coldsweat's for my Ibby, buy an ESP eclipse and put in some Nailbombs (also for my Hellraiser) also maybe a custom 7 of some kind, maybe a Mayo. Add a Way Huge Green Rhino (or Protone Deadhorse, not sure yet) and a DV mark 2x12, that's my dream rig. I'm so close yet so far... :lol:
