Some brand 120 watt all tube
Earthking all tube, pre some year I am not sure
Marshall

I am a rockabiily, phsycobilly, metal, punk, trad country guy.....

you??????

I have got about 5 guitars, but I still can't play worth a darn. I worked as a Forest Ranger in a cabin on the Contenintal Divide when I was in my late 20's. 45 miles from the nearest town, no TV, no radio. So I taught myself some guitar. I can amuse myself and annoy others.

That is awesome Bonehead. I grew up in Grace Idaho and when I graduated from HS I lived and worked in Yellowstone for a summer. Great times. Met Willie and that Blair chic from Different Strokes at the Old Faithful Lodge, I was a waiter, embarrassingly enough.

 

[Motorhead]

I started on nylon string (classical) when I was 9. I play heavy metal for the most part now. Every now and then, when I'm in the mood, I play classical.

My current guitars are:

- BC Rich Stealth (big Chuck Schuldiner fan)
- Jackson RR3 Pro (signed by Kreator and Exodus, don't play it anymore)
- Hamer Explorer
- Gibson Flying V (project)
- Suzuki classical guitar (my first guitar - nylon string)
- Agile Les Paul knock off
- BC Rich Warlock Exotic

My guitar pre-amp/amp rig (everything is rack mount):

- Furman power conditioner
- Korg tuner
- BBE Sonic Maximizer
- Digitech 2120 with Control One MIDI controller
- Crybaby rack wah
- Digitech RP5 (back up)
- Mesa Boogie 2:50 power amp
- Marshall 9100 power amp
- Peavey Classic 50 power amp (back up)
- Marshall 1960 speaker cabinets (full stack)

I also have a small bass rig for the recordings I do.

- BC Rich Stealth bass (Early 80's, USA, super rare)
- Charvel Bass (Mid 80's)
- Line 6 pre amp
- Ampeg SVT3 pro
- Ampeg 410 cabinet

I really want to buy a nice Rickenbacker bass (big Motorhead fan, surprise, surprise!!)

That's all!

I now just have a Takamine Santa Fe 2000 limited edition that has been beat to death, bought it at Brent's music in FM, Fl. in 2000. Almost has a hole wore in the face after 6 years, I broke the neck and it's never been right since. I've played mostly comedy originals for the past 7 years before that mostly country,southern rock, & the acoustic guys. Played on a gospel 8track when I was about 9 years old with my mother.

Put out a comedy CD called "Captain Ron's greatest tits" sold a thousand copies

Drop the metal and I am there with ya... but I do enjoy some metal, Motorhead and such.

Right now I am sitting with a small collection, have been unloading things the last year or so and this is whats left.

Fender Tele
Godin XTSA
Washburn Acoustic - GW Lyon

Peavey Supreme 120 watt transtube head & 4x12 cab
Fender Deluxe 90
- both rather cheap amps, that I am trying to sell to buy a Fender Blues Deluxe

Other odds and ends

Fender P Bass
Fender Bassman 100
Alabama 5 string banjo
Mason Lap Steel w/ original tube amp from the 50's
- was a company in Cambridge Ontario back in the 50's, real neat vintage looking amp, guitar and case
Yamaha Pro V drums 6pc set (cheap set for the Mrs to bang around on)

Nothing of the highest quality anymore, but it make noise when I want it too. My wants though... Would love to cut down to just the Tele and then pick up a different acoustic probably a Marten, a nice hollow body, love the Sparrow Primitive or Big Daddy. They even have a "rat rod" guitar, but it ain't too ratty.

This is awesome guys. Always wondered how many of my fellow rodders played some type of instrument.

On the metal thing, I am talking about, Black Sabbath, Assjack, the Nuge, etc. Not what they call metal nowadays, other than maybe Assjack.

I really would like to get a Gretsch Silver Eagle someday, did I mention all of my guitars, except the Yamaha, nylon strings, are black?

Instead of the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe check out the Bugerra, I think it is the better amp and most definitely cheaper.

You can see a shoot out on you tube by the Tone King, not affiliated with me in any way.

 

[hotrod preacher]

trad. country & gospel/christian (any surprise?)
been learning guitar for last couple of years...

Crafter 6 string acoustic

Fender 12 string acoustic

dad has an old Fender telecaster 'bout a '74 model (he bought for us when we were kids & never learned to play it then)

you guys def are more serious in your music than i am...for me & just for fun...i never play in public

I can get on board with that, Actually saw Hank III last summer when he came up through Canada. Was an interesting show, and he is one hell of a showman. Literally played for 3+ hours, an hour of country/hellbilly/assjack each. And the mix of people in the crowd was insane.

I really would like to get a Gretsch Silver Eagle someday.

They are a beautiful guitar, just add a bigsby and your set.

Instead of the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe check out the Bugerra, I think it is the better amp and most definitely cheaper.

I will have to look into them. I have a line on a used Blues Deluxe for $450 didnt think it was that bad of a deal. Trying to swing a trade + cash for my Peavey, hopefully it works out.

You know Stacey David is supposed to be an awesome guitarist! Maybe we all wanta be like him when we grow up.

I can play enough on about any kind of stringed instrument to at least make folks think I can play. I only like gospel and bluegrass gospel.

I have found that music skills are often related with mechanical skills and artistic skills. Most folks that can play can multi-task at many other skills and have alot of the same likes and interests.
