Here's mine:

Selmer SA80 II (owned since new in 1990, feels like part of me).
Pillinger LA6* in white resonite.
Rico Jazz Select 3S.
Rovner Dark.

I'm not really one to change gear all the time. This does it all for me.
 
Bundy II <not as bad as it sounds....it is regulated to play well>
Meyer 5M mpc
 
Mauriat 67R-UL
Jody Jazz 6HR
Vandoren Java 3s

just the right combination of fat toned warmth and just a little bit of bite... lurvelee
 
Yani A901
Jody Jazz Classic 7
V16 reeds (2)
Rovner light lig

You'll have to ask those at the Karen Sharp workshop what it sounds like from the listener's end!
 
I love my setup - nice and dark with a modern sound, I tried to imitate the sound of players like Soweto Kinch & Kenny Garrett

Sax: Selmer Ref 56 (Matt Finish)
Mp: Otto Link Ebonite (8)
Lig: Francois Louis (gold finish)
Reeds: Rico Jazz 3M (although thinking about swapping to 3S)

Thinking I need a bigger mouthpiece though as I'm feeling the set-up too easy to blow. Interested in the Jody Jazz ones especially after noticing their popularity in this thread so far.
