Greetings all!
This is a great forum, and I’m really glad I stumbled upon this on-line community of players/enthusiasts. While doing some gear research, I found a couple Youtube clips featuring a guy giving a demo of the Vox AD50VT. After watching/listening to this great player (Robert) demo his rig, I was sold on the amp and was blown away by the tasty riffs I was hearing.
To Robert: I love your playing style and tones. Some of the best I have ever heard.
By the way, Vox & Fender should send you a commission check. After checking out your video demos, I bought the Vox along with an American Series Telecaster (Vintage White w/rosewood fretboard).
I also play a ’78 Gibson Les Paul Standard, Schecter (Diamond Series), Ibanez Acoustic/Electric and a Washburn Acoustic. My setup includes a 1990 Peavey Studio Pro 112, TS9 Tubescreamer and a Boss Chorus. It’s a solid state amp, but I can dial in a very nice fat & gritty tone with the LP through the TS9 on the amp’s clean channel. I also have one of those Fender digital amps for fun and practice (decent backing tracks and rhythm accompaniments.
I consider myself a hobby player right now (no gigs/no band). But I have played on & off for about 35 years, and I would like to get together at some point to jam with others again. My son and I play together quite a bit and record with “Garageband”.
Looking forward to being part of Thefret.

Now, I can't believe nobody has said anything about this, but I'd sure like to hear more about that Washburn you play
Oh, yeah, if you like beer, get acquainted with Shiner
If you like pancakes, well........................
Oh, yeah, we like to talk guitar, too, but there's more. Since I've joined, I start my day with the "Have you heard" board every morning. I've been turned on to more cool performers than I can count, people whom I would have never heard had it not been for the eclectic bunch around here.
Welcome, and enjoy!!

I wasn't taking offense and you certainly haven't pss'd me off - guess it's the desire to remove myself from the Wash ID. Besides I own more Epiphones than Washburn's - I'm an Epi, but preferably a fretter.Awwww... we're all one big happy family here! I said it with love, man!
