New member here. I hail from Toronto, Canada, and have been playing in clubs around here for about 30 years. Mostly blues, country, rockabilly, classic rock. Bands, duos, solo, whatever.

Guitars: G&L S500, Gretsch 6120, CIJ Tele, 80s MIJ Squier strat, double neck Jackson, Santa Cruz OMPW, Larrivee D, and a few others. Play thru a Bogner Shiva most of the time.

Looking fwd to hangin' with y'all.

Welcome to The Fret, Rob! Plenty of good people here. Plenty of Canadians, too. :canada:

Nice gear collection you have. Feel free to write up any interesting gig stories and experiences.

Welcome! Great gear. I've read lots of good things about the Shiva, but haven't had a chance to play through one yet.

@ hampus: got lots of those! Gig tonight, tho; gotta go load up. Mebbe there will be a new story...

@ Katastrophe: my Shiva is one of the first-generation ones. Fabulous, versatile beast; great at both warm compressed cleans and full-on overdriven snarl. Heavy tho. I have the 112 combo and it weighs over 80 lbs.
