What are using these days? Be specific if you can.

What have you used?
 
For guitar I use a Fender Prodigy, Orange Crush 60 amp, Boss MD pedal, Boss compression sustain pedal. I record using a scarlet interface and I own about 15 mics.
 
Two guitars: Ibanez RG570 and a Gibson Les Paul Standard.

Right now, I'm just playing on a little 30 watt practice amp. But I have a Mesa Boogie triple rectifier and a Mess Boogie 4x12 along with a Mashall 4x12 for gigs, which I don't do any more.

1968 Slingerland 5 piece drumset with an added popcorn snare and 6 cymbals.
12" 100 watt Kustom bass amp.
Microcube practice amp
Digitech modeling fx pedal

I'm not really an Ibanez guy, but my Les Paul and Fender Jazz bass got stolen and the price was right on the Ibanez gear. Drums are my main instrument so I didn't want to drop a shit ton of money on a new guitar and bass. I just wanted to have a full band set up in my basement so it's all there in case a jam breaks out.

But how sweet is the Floyd Rose bridge on the Ibanez? It is a fucking work of art on the RG570. And I love the tapered neck.

Changing the strings with that bridge may easily induce a wad blowing though. It's a beaut though, because of the way it is.

Old Ibanez ST55

For drums I go to a studio in town with a sweet house DW collectors kit
I use Logic for everything including soft synth if I need it.
I use UAD plugins on specific things (the front end chain, buss and master processing)

After years of collecting, dreaming of bigger and better set ups, trying to get good drum sound in my room, workflow etc, I have settled on this set up. I have been rocking it for 2-3 years and I don't see myself adding to it or taking away from it.
