Hi there I'm Chris

My username came from my stage name in my band Blood Church

I'm from Telford Shropshire

I love to own trade and collect guitar gear and bass gear and write and perform in my band.

Best bit of gear is either my Gibson slash appetite Les Paul which I've modded or my sandberg vm5 

Number 1 track varies daily but I would probably say today it's dream on aerosmith

By "Belated introduction" I assume you're a long-time lurker and won't need telling what's where

Define ‘long term’ … but yes, I think so, thanks.

Hello!

My name is mark. I'm from Bristol.

I officially started playing guitar when I was 12, but I quit almost immediately. Decided to give it another bash at 40.  

[Admin edit - Mark says Bristol. His user profile says New York. We know that he’s actually posting from Lagos, Nigeria. He was straight into “My friend is selling exactly what you’re looking for. His email is scammer@gmail.com.]

Good spot, I almost emailed but hung fire as it looked suspect - not sure if there's any way of seeing who he PM'd and making them aware, as I only saw this thread by visiting his profile. Cheers admins!

Earl_Grey

He pm’d me saying his friend had an EAE Longsword pedal for sale (I had put a WTB post up recently). I haven’t replied as it looks suspicious.

Q1:  Where did you username come from?

Hello, Josh here. My username came from a random XBox username generator. Runners-up were JellyPlatter and ClubWombat.

Q2:  Where in the world/country are you?

I'm from Aberdeen in (ocassionally) bonnie Scotland.

Q3:  What's your main musical ambition?

To get the sounds in my brain to come out of my fingers/amp. It's a work in progress!

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

I absolutely love my Strymon Flint. It's like a warm blanket for your guitar that I cannot get a bad sound out of - and that's before I even switch on the lovely tremolo side!

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

My favourite songs seem to be the ones tied to times I've spent travelling. There is a song by Cat Power called Wish I Was Here that I would play on a roadtrip through the southwest U.S. Playing it again just takes me right back there.

Well done Admins - I got such a PM from him too

Hi all. Looking forward to chatting. 

Q1:  Where did you username come from?

It’s probably an unrecommended set of personally identifying information, but nothing that’s not publicly available. 22 was also my first soccer (yep-American) number and followed me around organised sport. 

Q2:  Where in the world/country are you?

American ex-Pat here in London for the last 11 years. I’d just say British as I’ve got the passport but my heritage will probably be obvious the more I post anyhow  

Q3:  What's your main musical ambition?

I’m a relatively new dad and I’ve just picked up playing again after leaving it behind in my uni days. I want to have instruments and music in the house while my kids grow up, something I never really had. I’d like offer this hobby (or profession) to my children by way of exposure, and maybe have a few jams if they decide to pick it up! 

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

Currently enroute to me - 1979 Ibanez Iceman IC210 “Triplebucker”

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

Little Wing. Jimi’s version preferably, but the song lends itself to some great covers.
