Instruments
My current main bass is a Fender/AllParts/Signature parts jazz bass with Axis pickups. It's white with a red tortoise pickguard, rosewood fretboard with pearl blocks. It has a Raven Labs p-bass preamp in it, reconfigured for 2 jazz pickups.
My backup bass is a Fender American Deluxe Jazz bass. It's 3 color sunburst with tortoise pickguard and rosewood fingerboard. 1997, 100% stock, active electronics.
I also have a fretless Squier Affinity P-Bass which I use on a few songs. Baltic Blue with white pickguard and rosewood fingerboard.
My white jazz is strung with some heavy La Bella Deep Talking Bass steels and my sunburst jazz is strung with light Thomastik-Infeld Jazz Flats. My fretless has some light DR Lo-Riders. Both jazz basses are equipped with Shaller straplocks.
I use an Ampeg V-4BH all-tube head with an Ampeg SVT 4x10 HE cab. I've also got a SansAmp Bass Driver DI which I use for overdrive and DI purposes (and to beef up the tone of my old solid state combos).

I use Pearl export series drums that are deep forest green in color. I have one bass drum, two toms, and one floor tom. I also have one Tama snare and one Ludwig snare.
I use Sabian cymbals. I have two medium rides (19", 20"), one thin crash (16"), and two splashes (10"), with one inverted. I have recently added a chinese cymbal (18"), as well as a new crash to replace the old one.
I use Vic Firth sticks for shows and Regal Tip sticks to pratice. I also use Remo drumheads. I have also added a triangle to my setup which is a plus. It is on a rack with a random circular metallic object taken from a computer. Nice sound, another plus. I recently got a LP cowbell as well.
I use a Korg IS50 series interactive music workstation keyboard (one of the cheaper but still great models). It's a pretty damn good keyboard. It's got the works even though it only boasts 66 keys. But with its tone modulator and all the programs and stuff it was and still is the best keyboard I've got. My stand is a basic "Quikloc" stand which actually supports more than my own weight.
Since I've started to play with Zealous Apathy I knew I had to get myself a good amp. So I settled for a 50 watt Yorkville 50KB power combo amp (which makes its presence noticed during practice). I must add that I intend on getting a pedal for my keyboard sometime soon, I look forward to it.
I've got a Slammer guitar (from Hamer). It gets its looks from a Les Paul, but there are subtle differences (like THE FREAKIN' PRICE TAG!!!) Anyway, its got a nice tone and feel to it, and it has much versatility. Overall, a good beginner guitar for me, and a bonus for the band.
My favorite guitar is my Fender Stratocaster. It's the American Fat Strat with one Seymour Duncan pickup. Maple fingerboard. 3 color sunburst. Pearl pickguard. 2001 model. Fender Stainless Steel Strings, 10-46.
My second electric guitar is the Gibson Les Paul Standard. Look at the pics if you wanna know the details. 2002 model. D'Addario 10-46 strings.
My classical Fender guitar. Fender Nylon Strings. 2003 model.
My Art Lutherie Acoustic Guitar. Medium Fender Acoustic Strings. 1998 model.
My amp is a Marshall 6100 Anniversary head, 100 watts all-tube, matched with a Marshall 1960 4x12 cab. I also have a Roland 405, 30 watts with extension cab.
Pedals: Boss GT-3.
