Don't know if anyone cares or not, but a couple years ago I had a unique opportunity to hang out backstage at a Lenny Kravitz gig (ties to one of the crew). I was given full access to Craig Ross' gear, snapping all the pics I wanted and chatted with Craig's tech, Chinner (super knowledgeable, super nice guy who also techs for Mike Campbell). This is what I saw...



Lenny's rack of guitars, with his tech, Alex Alvarez (sorry for the distance)





Craig's rack of guitars. From L-R: '55 Strat, Danelectro 12, '93 LP Standard, '03 LP Custom, '55 Tele, '72 Tele Deluxe, ES-335, ES-345, a Byrdland, and a Dove acoustic





Craig's rack of effects, Part 1: MXR M-175 Delay & Fulltone Tube Tape Echo





Craig's rack of effects, Part 2: MXR M-108 10-band EQ, MXR DynaComp compressor, Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamer, MXR EVH Flanger, Boss OC-3 SuperOctave, Sweet Sound Mojo-Vibe uni-vibe and Boss RV-5 Digital Reverb.





Craig's Fenders: the bottom Showman has been rewired & modded by Alexander "Howie" Dumble.





Craig's Marshalls are both 50W plexis (sorry for the blur)





Craig's Tweed Deluxes + Fender reverb unit





Chinner's workbench (located just behind Craig's stack)





Chinner and some VIP-chick's rear





Lenny's pedalboard





Lenny's Deluxe settings. Seems easy enough to remember.

Here's by far my favorite guitar that I owned, It was a 1969 Teisco Del-Ray that I bought from a friend of mine back in high school for $10. Originaly it was tobacco sunburst with some cheap ass electronics. After I finished the paint work, I took it to a music shop in Nashville to have some TV Jones pick-ups and a bigsby tail piece and I never saw it again... I miss that guitar everyday

[quickervicar]

That sucks. I had a Trace Elliot AH350SMX head disappear under similar circumstances.

Current rig:

ESP Eclipse II, Mesa F-50 head, Avatar 2x12 cab. Also an Orange Micro Terror for apartment use...
