[detailed description on the gear is found by folding out this box]

Since I constantly get the question on what gear I'm using these days and because I've downsized significantly (yup, I had even more crap before), I decided to upload a little video of my little music room. Not everything is there now, at the moment, since some stuff is out for repairs or servicing, hence why there are also some pictures in the end of gear that wasn't in this room at this time.

I also whipped up this little track for the sake of this video, because, what would a video about music gear be without any music? Right.

  • hey, i've been following your rig and music videos for a long time and trudge through the odd thegearpage thread as i'm really into guitar effects and ambient/ instrumental music.. really love your stuff. keep it up!!

    just wondering what the name of the track in this video is?? i recognise it from one of your other videos but don't have the time to go back through all of them!

  • @thewaronmath

    Hey, thanks!

    Regarding this track, it doesn't have a name and it's only used in this video, so I think you must mean this video. :) It's just a little thing I whipped up for this video, like mentioned in the description.

  • are you rich man?

  • @bjorn860

    Hell no. If you consider this to be a lot of gear, then you've never visited a professional studio. This is nothing compared to that.

  • @DemoColorScheme Right, but only seeing the fraktal thingy, that's like $44,000 mexican pesos, a lot of money here, btw ur gear is like $478,000 pesos worth, a dollar is like 14 pesos. Anyway you have cool stuff wish u the best and get some more equips like that. =D

  • @bjorn860

    That won't be a problem seeing as how I've gotten more stuff over time, though different stuff, not guitar stuff. Also, in all honesty, music is a big passion of mine, so I basically put all my finances into it.

see all

  • @DemoColorScheme ah.. my eyes skipped over that sentence while i was reading the rig list in the description, i must have watched this video a while back and the tune stuck in my head! it's great..

    keep em coming.. :)

  • @bjorn860 Fair enough man!

  • @HitmanJenkins1 Got that mate, well, to be honest, I don't know anything about guitars, just drums and only the basics, my brother has an Epiphone Les Paul standard guitar and a Rickenbacker bass guitar. He pasted this link on my msn so I had a look at it.

  • @DemoColorScheme That's the point mate, unfortunately the income here is fucked up, so that's good that you have the method to buy the things you want, btw I play drums with my drumsticks lol (airdrums)

  • @bjorn860 Remember that most guitarists accumulate gear over time and occasionaly trade in gear they don't want anymore.
