Any musicians?

Its quite the buzz to be driving home at 4am, threw a blizzard. Having come from a gig where 8 people showed up and your song comes on the radio

Agreed!
My personal best buzz...getting off stage at the LUXOR main stage after my first gig with a group I had rehearsed once with...and there was a line of people holding our flyer wanting autographs.

That was a "Really"? before really was over played....

We were going to audition a new drummer for our band, "Stash". He attended a little private college and invited us to come there and set up in the auditorium; that sounded like a cool idea so we did. The guy was really good and we were enjoying playing so we just kept at it. A few people came in, sat down, and then a few more, then more, and an hour after we started half the place was filled. We had stage lights on so we really didn't see the audience. I noticed them and a few minutes later the school lighting guy shined the spot on us, cut the stage lights and from then on it was a full blown free concert, LOL. It was one of those magic times when we didn't get paid; we just played because we loved to play but they liked us enough to invite us to play their homecoming for pay.

Instrument wise I play guitar (electric and acoustic), some piano, and some mandolin. I play a lot of that sort of indie folk stuff, punk rock, and my buddy and I starting to work on a rap/folk project.

When the magic happens it's too awesome.

I can't even begin to imagine rap folk. The idea has potential, it would either turn out beautiful or abominable.

I was a part of a rap rock experiment a few years back...we played the majestic theatre in ventura...Rap with screamin leads in the wholes they left me....
I think it's still a little before it's time.

no one can afford to be a musician these days.

And it started in the mid eighties with DJ's....

 

[novicegrower922]

I play bass, drums, and chello, though I mostly stick to bass. As far as genres go used to play alot of metal, mostly play indie/folk now.

Spit that truth on em! There's a massive flood of people who have the urge to produce vs actual talent, can you imagine being the guy that sifts through all the people who wanna be famous, pun intended, to find the exceptionally creative minds who help shape the popular music today?

This is my babydoll, a Gibson Trini Lopez that I bought new in 1967. I play her through my 100w Marshall Master Lead Mk II (1973). I also have a custom painted Charvel/Jackson model 6 that is custom painted. One thing I don't think I have a pic of ia the back; it's "dragon scales" over every bit of the backside; graduated from about 2" down to about 1/4" at the tip of the headstock. I don't know if my privacy settings will allow anyone to see the other pic.

Here is some pics of my equipment ...

I indulged in a little Sunday Morning Rushification on my bass (Ibanez GSR206 six-string bass, Rotosound SM666 strings, Boss GT-10B bass FX processor):

*still working on re-incorporating the use of my ring finger after rupturing a tendon in it last year.
I'm now back to "1 finger per fret" playing style, and not taking it easy on my ring finger anymore, so it's leathery like the others, but not nearly as thick & worn as the other fingertips yet.
But it's almost 100% back to normal, which is a relief.

And this is my amp, along with my now-retired 5-string Epiphone "Embassy Standard V"
