5 CORE pieces of gear???

Imagine for a moment that you were to be confined to a room about the size of a 2 car garage for the next 5 years. You can't leave that room. You'll have food, water and a bathroom. You will be alone and not be performing for anyone. You have a $15,000 budget to select 5 pieces of gear to use for that 5 years. Although you will get some simple tools for repairs there will be NO replacement parts, tubes, etc. You can have whatever strings, picks, blank CD's for recording, batteries, cables you want and they don't count as a piece of gear. The room has power. So, what would those 5 music gear items be? There's no internet, cell or radio waves that get into the room. I'll start the list.

1. Mesa Boogie Mark V combo
2. My 76' LP Deluxe
3. BOSS BR 1600 Digital Recorder
4. Traynor K4 Keyboard Amp
5. 64gb IPOD Touch loaded with my music, videos and recording programs

Remember, if it breaks and you can't repair it with simple tools, tough luck.

How do you get the sound out of the keyboard / digital recorder? You gonna play it all through the 5e3?

The 525 has speakers built into it. As I have cables I can also run line out to recorder.

Nice ... and you can run your recorder back through those speakers?
