Nice collection of Axe's there! So you play both Guitar and Bass?

Same here.

Nice - dig that PRS and the bass in the middle, actually all of those basses. Who makes that middle one? I have a brother that plays the bass professionally - so I don't even bother trying.

I was wondering about the Bass in the middle also. What is the Blue guitar on the right?

Cool tread. I have a Black on black '79 Fender Strat, an '08 Takemine G series acoustic/electric, a Ventura classical, and a Ventura gold sparkle Les Paul knock off with pretty hot Humbuckings from the late '60's or early '70's. My amp is an old, old Crate G40C that is tired, tired, tired. I have Garage band, and an older M-Audio interface. I also just bought a Shure PG58 mic and stand. I love to play the blues. I've played for forty years. I'm self taught, and because of that I have terrible form because my teacher didn't know crap. I used to play every day or two until my son, now nearly 7 and my daughter, now 3 1/2 came along. Now, not so much. I would dearly love to get back to playing, recording, and writing. I'll post pictures as soon as I have time to do so. Oh, I used to play songs from David Bowie's "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" in college; hence my moniker. BTW, I also am a teacher and was trained in the Little Kids Rock program for kids. No, money for after school programs this year, Thank you Rick Perry, so I'm not teaching classes this semester or probably next. Next, influences...

Sorry - you only get credit in this thread for items that you post pictures of - pictures you took of gear you own.

Here's my one acoustic (Curly) and my pedalboard.

12-24-2011, 12:11 AM

Great collection - looks like you've got most styles covered - Rock, Jazz, Country, Blues, Rockabilly.... LOL.

I have the Tone Press and OCD pedals. Is that the MXR compressor up top? I think I still have one downstairs. I forgot to post pics of my pedals.

Don't let the Tele fool you. I don't do country. Although I'm sure it would handle it just fine.

I'm just a living room player and stay mostly in classic rock and blues.

It's the Carbon Copy. I use that one a lot. MXR makes good pedals.

Arise! Dead thread!

Not posted in here for ages, so I thought I'd share this with y'all...

I bought this from a charity shop for 50p (75c) at the weekend. Granted, it's not the best music, and it's not exactly challenging to play, but for sheer nostalgia (I listened to this album a lot in my teens) it's worth every one of those fifty pennies!



So, to get this beast rolling again, what kind of music do you guys love to play?

Cheers!

Chuck, as far as playing of late, Blues. Been a Blues player most of my life. I usually mix it with Rock and some jazz, but my playing is mostly Blues.

As far as listening, I try to be open and love a lot of different styles (Except RAP! ).

Dont feel like you have to display everything as cents, let the Yanks work it out for themselves

Oh God, we play that stuff constantly at work, i cant stand his voice anymore

I like playing metal. Recently Ive been trying to get my head round "Composure" by August Burns Red. Its quite difficult, but im slowly getting the hang of it by looping various sections in Logic.

Forgot to mention but Rob made me remember. Play Metal also.
