  • Q1:  Where did you username come from?

     Probably, I mean definetly from when I use to smoke weed from a pipe exclusively way back and when another nickname collided and formed my most long standing internet handle.

    Q2:  Where in the world/country are you?

    At this point I am in Southampton, but a lot of time in London.

    Q3:  What's your main musical ambition?

    Fairly impractically but to release an EP on cassette this year and own an 8 x 10 cab at some point.

    Q4:  Your "best" bit of gear - just the one?

    To me my best bit of gear is my old  arch top from the early 60's (I think), I found in a charity shop for £50 . It has a huge neck and chubby sound which is very inspiring. Would save over everything else ever.

    Q5:  Your #1 ever track - again, just the one?

    At the moment it is,  King Missle - Jesus was Way Cool

  • Morning all! 

    Just recently started playing guitar again, after losing a bit of interest and selling my gear when I was short of funds back in my early 20s. Stumbled upon this place and it seems like a bit of a treasure trove of tips and advice for a relative neophyte like me!

    Q1: Where did username come from? It's what my wife says when she hears me practising!

    Q2: Where in the world are you? Sunderland, UK

    Q3: What's your main musical ambition? To not give up/lose interest again, like I did about 15 years ago!

    Q4: Best bit of guitar gear? Tyler Variax JT-59 (easy choice, as it's the only guitar I own)

    Q5: Your #1 ever track? maybe Voodoo Child (non-Slight Return!) at the minute. Ask me again next week and it'll probably change!

    Hi all,

    Q1:  Where did you username come from? From my actual name - the UK bit is because I mainly hang out on the US based Hamer Fan Club Forum.

    Q2:  Where in the world/country are you? Wiltshire

    Q3:  What's your main musical ambition?
     Somehow progress to learn to be better than I was when I was 20 and had a bit of time to practice - I'd like to get some shredding chops together.

    Q4:  Your "best" bit of gear - just the one?
     I'm lucky enough to own a USA Custom Shop BC Rich Mockingbird Supreme, which I've had for years, and is just a guitar fit for a king (plus quite a few cool 80's and 90's USA Hamers)

    Q5:  Your #1 ever track - again, just the one? Today I choose Panama :)
    I'm always looking for interesting USA Hamers for sale.

    At the moment I'm looking for:
    * Hamer Watson, SS2, Vintage S, T62.
    * Music Man Luke 1, Luke II

    Please drop me a message.

  • Hey! Jim here - long time lurker, first time signerupper.

    1) Where did your username come from? Well I joined a band by the name Run in Red last week, so it seems fitting...

    2) Where in the world are you? Dublin. Where all the delicious drinks come from. Originally from Derry, up at the top of Ireland.
     
    3) What is your main musical ambition? After being a bass player and sideman for several years, now forming a group to play my own songs. Not aiming for world domination - but some good gigs on the local scene would be nice :D

    4) What's your "best" bit of gear - just the one? I don't go in for flash gear - but a friend built me a bitsa Strat with a JB in the bridge that I may well be buried with.

    5) Your #1 ever track - again, just the one? This changes every five minutes. Today's is Brainy by The National.

  • I'm a long time lurker both here and on the old MusicRadar forum

    1) Where did your username come from? It's one of several squid-themed aliases I have used since the early days of the web. This 'random' choice may have been influenced by my repeated listening to Trout Mask Replica.

    2) Where in the world are you? London.
     
    3) What is your main musical ambition? To write and record more (and better) music. To find other local musicians for informal jams (this doesn't mean endless blues pentatonics!).

    4) What's your "best" bit of gear - just the one? My Echolution 2 Deluxe pedal

    5) Your #1 ever track - again, just the one? The best ever track doesn't actually have any guitar on it - Thunder Road (from the Live 1975-85 box set) by Bruce Springsteen.

  • Hi all,

    1. My username is questioning my adolescent self for the first guitar I picked- the much maligned Marlin Sidewinder. Candy Apple Red, HSS, Locking trem system. What's not to like? Sadly, a lot!

    2. I'm in Fife, Scotland.

    3. My main musical ambition is to keep at it and not have long periods of disinterest. Maybe jam with some like minded buddies.

    4. My favourite bit of gear is currently the TC Electronic Mojo Mojo. Was thinking of getting rid of but finally managed to dial in a great cleanish sound a few weeks ago.

    5. Your #1 ever track.  It changes all the time but today it's Drive Home by Steven Wilson - love Guthrie Govan's solo.

    1) Where did your username come from? Where would life be without a bit of mystery?

    2) Where in the world are you? Oxford. 

    3) What is your main musical ambition? To be able to play along competently at sessions.

    4) What's your "best" bit of gear - just the one? Don't have much in the way of gear at the moment, so it'd have to be the Goya classical guitar I've been learning on.

    5) Your #1 ever track - again, just the one? That's a bit difficult! I'll go for Nick Drake - Time Has Told Me.
