got gear?, musical instruments Options

[sandkind]

so i know there are many musicians on the board. what kind of gear do you play/own?

my pride & joy is my gibson les paul custom, white w/gold hardware & black trim, but i rarely play it

play my fender stratocaster (Mexico) 90% of the time (tobacco sunburst)

have a cheap olp by ernie ball (my flat black project guitar w/one humbucker)

takamine N10 acoustic w/cedar top

esp ltd b50 bass - best bang for the buck on the bass scene IMO - plays & sounds like a much more expensive bass - flat black

one completely homemade bass w/seymour duncan jazz single coil (really poor bass, but looks canary yellow)

fender m80 head half stack

fender deluxe reverb (tube baby!)

fender g-dec

fender rumble 60 bass amp


you'd think w/all this shit i could find the time to record a cover for the contest, but truth is i rarely have time to play anymore

I play the drums...(just saw Live last night in Manchester!)

Pearl Master (wish it was Silver Sparkle like Chad's, but it's black with a faint champaigne sparke and gold hoops)...12", 13", 16", 18" Toms, Piccolo Snare, Zildjian 20" A-Custom Ride, 16" A-Custom Crash, 16" Z-Custom Crash, 18" K Crash, 8" K Splash and 13" K Custom Dark Hats...it's my pride and joy (that and my car...and i should mention the girlfriend too!)

Live rocked last night, first time i've seen them in a long while, set got better as the night went on...they did more improv and sounded less like the CD and more like a top quality entertaining live band. Awesome show, hope it's not too long before they visit again.

As a <fellow> drummer, I'm curious as to what you thought of Gracey last night?

Solid as always. His kit sounded great, and he progressively throught the night turned the drums up...by the end, he was going nuts. At first the whole band sounded like a live version of the CD, but as the night went on, they all (in particular CG) started improvising slightly. That's personally my favourite thing. At one stage the crowd who had been singing along with every song, were left in silence wondering what they were playing...eventually it was "I Alone"...that's what live music is all about!

Anyway, The whole band were great, Chad was tops, apart from he didn't throw me a stick! (not that it matters, I use the same brand, model, but nylon tip rather than wood).

great drummer, in my opinion...

ever give Iris and/or W,D a shot for kicks? STILL have not seen any drummer play either well, and I've witnessed many attempts...I've got them semi-worked out (obviously Iris being the most challenging), but I cannot come close to playing either accurately, let alone well
