Stuff for my home studio, comments, suggestions?

[Semt-X]

Hi all,

Im starting to create my home studio. I wanna make music like Aerosmith, Velvet Revolver, 36 Crazyfists, System of a Down, Nightwish...
I have some gear already but i have some more on a wishlist. Just wanna know what you all think about it?

I already have:
Epiphone Les Paul st.
Fender DG-5
Line6 PodXt
Edirol PCR-50 MIDI Keyboard Controller

My computer is configured:
P4 2,4 Ghz
768 mb DDR PC 2100 (2x256 PC2100 & 1x256 PC3200)
2x80gb Hard Disc (RAID)
ESI WaveTerminal 192M
Asus P4-533E Motherboard
Leadtek GeForce4 ti 4800 128mb ( i believe??)


I wanna get the following stuff:
Bassguitar - Dean Edge 4 TBK or Yamaha RBX270 or Yamaha BB 404 or Washburn XB120
Electric Guitar - Ibanez RG2570
Monitors - Behringer 2031A or Alesis Monitor One Active MKII or Phonic P6A or ESI nEAR6 or Tannoy Reveal aktive or Tapco S5
Mixer - Behringer UB1832-fx, if you have other suggestions, please let me know ;-)
Acoustic guitar - Seagull 12-string (dont know which model) or a Yamaha 12-string (amped or not?)
Microphone - Shure SM57 and/or Rode NT1(a) with a standard and a de-plopper

Further id like to get a Basspod for my bassguitar, because a DI is expensive and a basspod is like a DI only with ampmodels, is this correct? And for software i wanna get Cubase SX 2. Also some more stuff, but i dont think thats usefull to write in this post.

So what do you think? Am i getting a good quality sound with this? Its for hobby use only, so no professional stuff....

Please, if you have any suggestions, let me know.

Hi all,

Seagull Guitars are beautiful sounding instruments. A sister company is Simon & Patrick. My son has their 12-string. Very nice.

Consider Fostex PM1.0 monitors...
