    Default Hello

    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! 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.
