It's a really nice guitar (though some people find the shape a bit hard to get used to), you can still find them around second hand reasonably easily. The voodoo series would look nice, but the red doesn't seem to fit the guitar at all, and the scratch plate looks a bit unnatural next to the body, I've never played one, though they're probably quite similar :)


yeah I've yet to actually get my hands on an explorer. I've played V's, Warlocks and other similair bodies but haven't given an explorer a wirl, but some day :)
 
Another drummer here....

Before I post a pic of my drum kit I need to buy some better cymbals.

Hey, finally someone else who's a drummer! :cool: What kinda gear do you have, MacNut? I have a generic kit (got it as a "beginner set" when I first started playing) but I've since upgraded the heads (Evans Genera G2), snare drum (Ludwig 13" bronze piccolo snare) and cymbals (Paiste 802 series crash/ride, crash, and hi-hats, Sabian Terry Bozio signature china).

(Note the dumbells used to keep the cymbal stand from falling over :D )

when i first started drums, my wife used a 6 piece maple shell rodgers kit, clear remo heads, with zildjians and nylon drum sticks

later she used a kit just like in your picture (pearl mx series?) but with zildjian hi-hats, zildjian crash, some unknown german made crash, and pearl hammered crash/ride going back between coared remo heads and clear heads with silver mylar remo heads on the bottom...i later got the same kit (pearl mx) but used the cheap cymbals that came with it...i took the bottom heads off and i preferred the sound and didn't buy any new drum heads

my ultimate set would now be a small 4 piece gretsch and vintage zildjian cymbals with some sort of piccolo snare drum...that i can afford...but if money were no object, then i would get a yamaha recording series drumset with a gazillion cymbals

but nothing ups a drumset like new heads and good, expensive cymbals...some good tama hardware wouldn't hurt either as i have known a few hard rock drummers who swear by its durability
 
Here is my lot!

I have been messing about with Basses & Guitars since 1982
over they years i have built up a bit of a collection...
guitars-all.jpg


Top To Bottom
Roland G-77 - 1986
Warwick Thumb, Thru neck Wenge / Bubinga - 1990
Fender P-Bass, Cherry Sunburst - 1983
Wal Fretless - 1984
Fender Strat, with Goland GK1 pickup - 1988
Vox Teardrop re-issue - 1985
Gibson Corvus - 1983
Norman Acoustic - 1987

I also a few synths, cubase, reason & a Simmons drum kit.
 
here's my Silvertone (Sam's Club) guitar that i got like 8 years ago as a gift to learn to play on (which i'm just now getting around to) and my Washburn Bass that is like 6 years old (both were gifts so i didn't get to pick the color... my next bass will be cherry burst like the fender color) and that blank desk space is for my MIDI keyboard when it comes from Apple...

Where and when did you get the Wal? It looks just like my old one, I sold it in 1986 just before I went entirely 5-string, is there a serial number on it?

I had a Roland too, for a while, but the lag on it was incredible, and the synth was a bit crap too. Interesting idea though.

nice setup man, u got a soundclick or something. i cant decide weather to get a mpc-2000 or rolands mv-8000.
Nah, no soundclick. What you see is what I got, atm, so I've got no way of getting my tracks onto my computer. The mpc2000 and mv8000 are two totally different machines. You're better off comparing the mv8000 to the mpc4000. Checkout mpc-forums.com for alot of info.

I got the wal from a friend (a wal nut) in about 88/89, I he got from the bass center a year or two before.

the roland is incredibly crap for the money it cost, but i quite like it. :D

Here's my Warwick Thumb 5-string, there's a pic of me playing it in the Members Pic thread, but it's not too clear.

I use an Ampeg SVT 3 head and an Ampeg 8x10 cab.

The othr pic is my real instrument now.... I make more music with the studio than I do with the bass... :D


My husband is a bass player too; in fact I almost bought him that exact same bass. He adores Warwick. I ended up getting him a 5 string Pedula Thunderbass (maple) instead. He has a 6 string Tune and a Tobias (5 string) and a fretless *something* as well.

Along with that and a ton of equipment that I don't understand, he also plays the keyboard and hand drums. Our basement is packed with this stuff. :eek:

me? I am just not very gifted in the musical arts.
 
I'll post pics tomorrow.

Guitars:
89' Clapton Start (my one true love)

That is a very nice looking organ chipz. Very professional looking. Do you play professionally and/or at a church?

That is a very nice looking drum, hardware, and cymbal setup. Are you part of a band?

Looks as though both you can have hours of enjoyment. I really admire someone with musical talent.

Taylor 814ce

I'm really not worthy of such nice guitars, I wish I could play them better!

Also, my Marshall Artist head.

:D

clapton strat, now that is a GUITAR!
 
Don't sell yourself short evilernie. The fact that you were able to afford to purchase them shows worthiness. I don't know how old you are. With practice you are bound to improve, you are probably better than you give yourself credit.
 
Hey thanks

Well, I wouldn't say that I am terrible, I'm ok. The Taylor was a wedding present from my wife. :D

This should give you an idea. Woodwinds all the way! :D

A fellow Alto Sax playa - bet you got Sax appeal with that instrument, lol :D , kidding. Its been so long since I played but I can still read basic treble clef. thinking of getting into guitar & bass; guitar first by September, after a Mac adorns my desk first. Reason, GarageBand!

Interesting how they call it Woodwinds, when the Sax, French Horn, Tuba are all brass metal?? I cant imagine them ever being made of wood, like the Clarinet.
Imagine learning to play Alto, Bass, & Suprano all with traintrack braces - old school, not those hip clear plastic ones kids got now - with no wax!! I did and was pretty decent. ;)

Hey! Good to see saxophone love around here!!

I play tenor myself. I have a Selmer SA Series III. It is my pride and joy ;).

I haven't had the chance to play it as much as I would like lately.

By the way, French Horns and Tuba'a are NOT woodwinds. Woodwind refers to the wood reed that vibrates to make the sound. That is why a sax is a woodwind despite being made of metal!

Here's a picture of my Schreiber S91 bassoon :cool:

I don't have a digi-cam, so this one's not mine specifically...

Awesome... Tons of guitars, and a bassoon...

I don't know how much one would consider a turntable an instrument, though...

I don't have any pictures of my trumpet, and it's kinda beat up from marching season, and needs to be cleaned, but it's an everyday run of the mill, Bach Stradivarius.
