Minus one week

Listed here is the sum total of the equipment and instruments I currently own which may be useful in creating this album, which I'm going to give the (working) title of 'Five Months', because that's how long I have to make it:

One Ibanez Artcore AGS semi-acoustic guitar, antique burst finish
One Roland Micro Cube guitar amplifier
Two guitar leads, one long, one short
One 3.5 mm jack cable
One OS-2 Boss Overdrive/Distortion pedal
One Crybaby Hendrix wah pedal
Various picks, slide, capo
One six-piece Premier drumkit with various cymbals and accessories, glossy black finish
Various drumsticks
One Ghanaian djembe
One pair bongos
One half-moon tambourine, black
Two egg shakers, if I can find them
One harmonica in A
One (very sharp, old and generally falling apart) harmonica in C
One tin whistle in D
One tin whistle in Bb
Access to various pianos, including relatively isolated Steinway baby grand
One Korg MS-10 emulator
One old, but serviceable fiddle
One Jupiter alto saxophone
One toy ukelele
One HP laptop PC
One custom desktop PC
Access to Sibelius 4.0
Nervous optimism

I know I will need to somehow acquire (buy, steal or borrow):

Some kind of recording equipment, most probably a USB microphone and Audacity
A bass guitar
An amp with a reasonable wattage (read; greater than 2)
A new set of electric guitar strings
Patience/perseverance
An acceptable mark in exams
And probably a bunch of other stuff I can't think of.
