So...I'm a bit bored...I'd like to take a roll call on any posters with musical talents on the boards.
I've been playing guitar and bass as well as singing for ~15 years now. I mostly have been playing acoustic as of late.
I'm slowly rebuilding my electric guitar rig after selling it all off a few years back.
I miss my Gibson Flying V, Peavey 5150 Amp head, and Marshall 1960a speaker cabinet dearly...tone for days.
I like to tear things apart and see how they work...modify stuff...that kind of thing.
My main acoustic guitar is a wine red 2000 Gibson J-45 '68 Reissue with a number of upgrades. She's a honky tonk machine.
I have a couple of Alvarez acoustics that don't see much action...because nothing touches the J-45!
I've rebuilt a Schecter Blackjack 006 electric and heavily modified it in the process...she screams...and plays better than anything I've ever played except for a 67 Les Paul Custom "Fretless Wonder". Bill Lawrence L500-XL and L-500R pickup set sounds amazing in the Schecter.
I have a couple Epiphone Les Pauls and a Special Run Ash Fender Telecaster in butterscotch blonde that I'm going to upgrade the sh!t out of for fun...like the Schecter, it will get a new nut, new tuners, new bridge saddles, new string guides, new pickups, maybe some new electronics...who knows! I have an urge to put my mark on her!
I have a beat up old Fender Mandolin that I've been teaching myself with too.
Amplifier wise I have a Peavey Classic 30 with a number of upgrades to it, most notably an upgraded speaker (Eminence Cannibus Rex, hemp coned, speaker).
I also have a Peavey XXL head and a Peavey 212 speaker cabinet with 2 Celestion Vintage 30s in it.
Effects wise I have the obligatory Boss Tuner (TU-3), an SD-1 (modded to Keeley specs), a BD-2 (also modded to Keeley specs), and I recently picked up a Line 6 Pod X3 Live to use as a recording interface. I'm going to start building my own pedals at some point...my first project will be a basic compressor pedal I think. I'm sticking to modding for the moment. Hopefully I'll eventually get into building amplifiers myself someday.
I'm looking to add a Dr. Z Maz 18 Jr. Non Reverb combo amp and another guitar (one with P90 pickups), or two (another Gibson Flying V...maybe an Explorer) when I get some type of project started.
Pretty basic stuff for me...I'm not too fancy or flashy.
Any other musicians out there???
