Anyone play a musical instrument?

[Resurrection Ranger]

I really didn't watch much TV when I was a kid. I always listened to the radio or my Dad's record collection. I played drums in school briefly but talking my Dad into getting a kit was pretty tough. Than he bought me a Casio. Ahhh..., the good 'ol Casios. Wish I still had that thing. Hell I heard some dance tune on Sirius the other day that incorperated the same 8 bit sound processor.

In any event, my calling turned out to be the guitar. Although it wasn't until a little over a year ago that I started to take professional lessons, I messed around quite a bit with them. I didn't grow up with a silver spoon so I had to wait till I could save up money on my own to buy my first acoustic.. an Ovation. That has since been retired after the bridge pulled off it several years ago. But I have since built up a collection. Some of which I dont have the room for. But I refuse to sell them.

These are a few that I have in my basement. If anyone is in the Eastern Pa area and wants to jam let me know. I don't do it often enough.

That's funny that you started this thread, I just restrung my bass today after 3 1/2 years of it sitting in my closet. I don't know crap about musical notes and what not, just tabs to play for fun and to pass some time. I used to be in a band back in 05, but when I got kicked out thats when I stopped.

It's an Ibanez SRX300 4 string. Got it for my 16th birthday. I'll get a picture of it in a little bit.

My first ever bass was when I was 15, it was some peice of crap from ebay and was a fender knock off, I don't even remember the name it was so unheard of hahaha.

EDIT: Pic posted. My cell phone sucks, I know.

Nice axe! Funny thing though. I own a sweet Fender watch that the wife got me. Even a Fender hat. But not a one Fender guitar! Strats are cool! Nice Trembucker too!

The pic works dude.. looks good. You'll be glad you dusted her off. I want to get a bass just to mess around with. But than I would need a bass amp. Something else for the wife to say "don't you have enough" too. Although she bought me a few of the guitars as gifts so maybe it won't be so bad.

I do not play the guitar or anything stringed(not enough coordination). But I do play the tuba, and every once in a while i dust off my old trumpet.

I play bass, used to have a decent collection going on. But stuff happened and I've only got a beat up Ibanez SR200 4 stringer.

My old gear:
Warwick Standard Corvette 4-String
Dean Razor 4-String (24 fret/Two octave neck)
Gallien-Krueger 700RBII amp head
Gallien-Krueger Neo 212 cab

EDIT: You can see my Nady Wireless reciever in those pics too, I forgot about that thing. Oh man it ruled to be able to move around without a cord and still play. Could be 6 houses away with that thing and it still had good signal.

How I miss my old gear...

My current setup.

I'm thinking of getting another Dean MLF, I found one for sale on the Dean guitars forum for a good price, depending on how my taxes come out I may grab it. I'd like to start stuffing that rack case with a few toys, but it's hard to pass up another guitar.

I have a Samick Stage 5 4-string bass guitar I'm thinking about getting out of the closet once I buy an amp for it.

 

[Beanmachine7000]

I have a Washburn Idol Pro 58 or something, it gets the job done, and a Peavey Valveking, and that's about all I've ever needed, I used to be in a band that toured locally, and made some pretty good change, but school got in the way and now I don't have time for it anymore... I can also play any wind instrument, and piano, and strings, but my specialty is brass (used to be a music performance major)

Been playing the drums for about 12 years now. Currently rocking a Pear Export series set with a mix of Sabian and Zildjiian cymbals.

Nice.

I played drums for a short stint in a band a couple years ago. Rocked a Pearl Forum series 5 piecer with the basic Zildjians to go with it (high-hat, crash, Ride). Simple, and it got the job done. Sounded good too.

Love Zildjians... friend of mine is a serious drummer and he bought himself a set of those silver colored ones.They got dirty so easy but wow did they sound good. Too bad the price was way high

Pretty easy to see the age range of the respondents by the choice of instruments. LOL
