I've been playing guitar for about 16 years. I currently have 4 (6-string electric, 7-string electric, 6-string acoustic, & 12-string acoustic). I am not presently in a band, but I am recording music with a home studio program on my computer.
 
onehellofadart,
Do you recall Lab Series amps? I have a couple (they are almost as old as our cars).
 
I've been playing Bass for over 30 yrs. I currently have a Honer Acoustic/Electric hollow body and also a Yamaha RBX-550 that I yanked out the frets ( ala Jaco.... ) and converted to fretless. I have'nt played in a working band in 10 yrs. I kinda miss it, but realisticly I don't have the time for it now.

I just occassionally go hang out with friends and make noise these days :D
 
I could never play an instrument or carry a tune, so I became the sound guy. Been out of sound engineering for a while, but still do sound & lighting work designing nightclubs. Did sound for most of the bands in Hawaii and also for the Bangles and Bobby Brown back in the day. Designed the sound & lighting systems for most of the major clubs in Hawaii and also The Beach in Las Vegas. Still do some consulting for the RA nightclub in Vegas.

How about a former musician? I haven't played anything in years...

The first instrument I learned to play was the alto sax. From there I moved to the tenor, then baritone & concert bass. Then onto clarinet, bass clarinet, oboe. Then I got tired of the wind and moved onto brass. Trumpet, trombone, bass trombone. Then came the strings. Violin, viola, double bass. 6 and 12 string guitar, then 4, 6 and 8 string bass.

I decided to focus on one instrument, so I went back to the baritone sax and joined a jazz band. Then I got tired of that and focused on guitar. Found that I really was more interested in the bass and moved back to that. I bought a giant Acoustic tube head and 4 - 4x15 horn-loaded cabinets. Much too big for playing in my garage, but so what. :headbang:

I started collecting BC Rich basses, I had 10 or 12 at one point. I loved the "metal" sound of them... My favorite was a custom-made Ironbird modeled after one I saw Geezer Butler play. Joined a band, played a few big shows here and there.

Then my friend had a Road Runner he was looking to sell. I had no cash, so I started selling off my bass collection to get the money for the car. I was down to 2 basses when the 'runner got hit by a truck. Bummer.

I still have a bass in storage at my mother's house. I haven't touched it in years.
 
mikel, i don't know why , but i had a feeling you played. too bad you don't play the horns anymore. your close. could use a horn section once in a while for personal recordings. :salut:
 
I'm using Cakewalk's Home Studio XL program and M-Audio's MobilePre USB as a preamp input. If I had a MIDI controller I'd get more out of the program.
 
I've played guitar since I was 9, electric bass since 12. I'm currently a Telecasterholic and Fender tube amp snob wannabe. I write and record songs on my own 16 track Korg digital recorder and CD burner. I don't play out or release my CD's myself. I do send some to a couple of performers.
 
I'm a drummer. Been playing since 5,my pop plays also,so I get it honest. I collect vintage kits,my current faves are my 76 red/clear 5 band Ludwig Visalites. Actually I make my living playing full time with my band Suckerpunch,and doing local studio work at the Sound Lab in Greensboro. Maybe we should set up a jam at the Bar-b-que? I can't play a lick of guitar,but I love vintage guitars and gear,love the sound of old tube amps overdriving!! I actually have an old Orange 100watt 2-12 combo I bought years ago when I had delusions of playing! :drunken:
