What's in your arsenal?!

My humble collection:

Guitars:
Jay Turser Les Paul (with vine inlay) EXCELLENT for the $200 I paid for it.
Schecter C-1 Classic (hmmm...another vine inlay)

Amp:
Vox AD30VT

Effects:
PH-3 Phaser
DS-1 Distortion
CE-5 Chorus
Danelectro DD-1 Distortion (which I really can't find a use for anymore...)

Wish list:

Guitar:
PRS Custom 24 (dyed black)

Bass: Schecter Stiletto 5 (preferably the studio, but the custom would do just fine.)

Amp: I really want a mesa, but along the same lines as the PRS (read: yeah, right), I hear the B-52 is a good substitute
 
Squire Standard Strat - whammy removed and stored; setup as a hard tail

Martin DS1220 12-string - mostly gathers dust

Digitech RP150 Multi-effects pedal (used for recording only)

Amps (just for jamming -- I record direct in)

Fender Champion 30 (the one I use most of the time)

Vintage Ampeg B-25 with Sunn 1200S 6x12 cabinet (the one I keep in the corner for bassists to use when jamming)
 
After years of buying and selling and trading and whatnot:

1970 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe goldtop w/ Seymour Duncan SM-1 minis. THE tone!
2000 Gibson ES-335 Dot in natural: doesn't sound as good as the LP, but it sure is pretty, for wedding gigs and playing in church.

1930's Regal spider bridge reso w/ Grover Sta-Tite tuners: the only git I've got that's even older than I am; vintage tone.
1984 OMI Dobro D60 round neck: my first reso, and it still kills. The Regal's in D, this one's in G.

1960's Ventura V-6 jumbo flat top w/Gotoh tuners, a custom bear-claw spruce top: sounds like a piano, and a friend has the original plywood top hanging on his wall. I had the luthier leave the Ventura label inside to mess with people's heads.
1986 Bull Frog Mountain Jumbo: flamed maple, ebony board, abalone, mother of pearl and gold butterfly inlays; it's a re-creation of a wonderful sounding 1937 Kay owned by the luthier, who is the same guy who did the work on the Ventura.

2006 Fender '51 Precision Reissue w/ Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound, Thomastik-Infeld Jazz Flats, and 4-saddle bridge: just enough mods to bring it into the 21st century. Every bass player needs one of these.
2006 Fender Classic '50s Precision w/ SDQP, TIJF: THE tone for bass, and a stone bargain to boot.
2007 Fender Standard FSR Precision w/ SDQP, TIJF and Warmoth fretless maple neck: what can I say? If I didn't own it, I'd have to build or buy one. Luckily, I've already done that.

The LP sings through a Fender Jazzmaster Ultralight; the 335 goes into a Fender Hot Rod Blues Jr NOS tweed w/ Jensen speaker, Weber Beam Blocker and Ruby Reverb, and both occasionally are plugged into a '63 Sears Silvertone Twin Twelve or a Pignose G40V with an Eminence speaker, Sovtek power tubes, and a Weber Beam Blocker. There's also a Line 6 Floor Pod Plus I got for the wah and tremolo, and a Danelectro reverb stomp box for when I plug the Green Bullet into the Pig and blow some harp. There are also a couple of distortion boxes for recording direct and an ancient Mutron Phase + that hasn't been plugged into the wall for maybe 15 years.

The basses like to play with a Hartke HA2500 + 115TP cabinet.

There ya go. Nothin' I can't do with that herd.

Couldn't help but notice your wish list. All of my bass tracks are a Schecter Stiletto 5, and many of my guitar tracks are through a B-52 AT-212. Yep, I too bought it 'cause of it's rep as a "poor man's Mesa." Don't know how true that is, but I like it.

Pretty much all else I got is crap, no use taking space..

What kind of speakers did you put in that cab?
 
We've done threads like this with mics and preamps before, and my theme carries over to guitars as well. No real expensive items, but lots of cheap to mid items--and a fairly bizarre assortment. (I love a good deal, and I never sell anything--so it piles up!)

Bass:

80's Short Scale White Squier P-Bass (had to get it 'cause it matches my white strat)
2000's Reg Scale Red Squier P-Bass (redundant, but it was for my son who wanted his own & doesn't play any longer)
No name acoustic bass
Schecter Stiletto Diamond Series 5 string

Amps:
