Welcome Pickngrin!
Hi folks...
I recently found this site (initially it came up in Google when I was looking for some assistance with my $25 Fullerton Strat!) and think that I will like hanging out here. I'm 35 years old and first started screwing around on guitar when I was 15. Actually, it's embarrassing to realize how long I've been playing...the ratio of talent to number of years playing isn't impressive
I'm live in Connecticut these days. With regard to music, I have pretty eclectic taste in what I listen to. In terms of playing, I tend to favor blues and blues-based rock. I'd love to play jazz, but frankly haven't really tried to learn in any systematic way.
My gear includes:
1950s Fender reissue MIJ Strat (bought it new in 1987 or 1988)
Hamer import (Korean) SATF sunburst archtop
Fullerton ST-3 Strat copy
Taylor acoustic (can't recall the model, but a basic model)
silverface Fender champ amp
silverface Fender Musicmaster Bass amp
Ibanez TS-10 tube screamer (I modified it to be the same as the TS-808)
Korg Ampworks amp simulator
Holy Grail reverb pedal
Crybaby wah wah
Peavey foundation bass (active)
Traynor bass practice amp
Rogue dreadnought acoustic guitar
I look forward to the interactions here...
