have you already toyed around with tube amp sound for your electric guitar and bass guitar?
Toyed with, as in experimented? Hell, I'm in full-blown reseach...see, all the principle components of my set-up are at least 30 yrs old, from my 1971 Sunn bass amp, Strat & P-bass are matching white-on-black 1964 models, and my prize Gibson ga-30 amp of indeterminate age, prob. pre-1950...quite the vintage collector I am, no?

Hamonica, Banjo, Guitar,

But must admit have not played since loosing a finger

yes, you are! ... hmmh ... love the sound of a tube amp'ed pre-1960 electroacoustic Gibson guitar ... and if the amp is a Mesa-Boogie, even better. So lush, so juicy, so ... hmmh ... tackling. How do you like Charlie Christian, Joe Pass, Jim Hall, George Benson ?

Vintage collector, so am i with my vinyl, too (yes, and with vacuum tubes). Own heaps of pre-1960 stuff, 1st pressings mostly (make that pre-1950, better pre-1940 and some really fancy shellacs added). My buddies love to bullshit me, calling me a necrophile :) ... 'cos i have that strong preference for great (=dead) musicians :)

I have always played the flute... but I am with Diva in loving the skin flute more lmao. I have always played classical and the like.. I mean not much Rock N Roll to play unless I break out the Jethro Tull or Violent Femmes :D

ok...im very musically inclined(well in high school i was)

I started in 6th grade with the trumpet, then 7th the baritone, then i taught myself clarinet(cuz it was popular) then i went back to baritone(which is like tuba)
then when i went to high school, my parents couldnt afford the band camp and crap...besides, i didnt want to be a band nerd...so i took piano class...so i can play a lot of stuff!!

I've played guitar for over 30 years now. Acoustic 12 string (Martin D12-28). I've also got a a banjo, a hammer dulcimer and an autoharp that I dabble with. I get together semi-regularly with a bluegrass/old-time music jam, but what I know best is folk music (Peter, Paul & Mary, Tom Paxton, Pete Seeger, etc.)

Grumble 06-17-2002 07:02 PM

I play nothing but the fool unfortunately

scotzoidman 06-17-2002 11:03 PM

Guess I forgot to mention my style(s) of music I play, my personal tastes are All Over the Road, from the whole rock n roll era, even listen to some classical...but currently playing bass in a rock/blues trio, lotta Stevie Ray Vaughn & related styles...

TurbotH 06-18-2002 06:57 AM

I play the guitar, but badly. You have been warned. i play mostly rock, blues and classic rock 'n roll (chuck berry)

(Aqua drools while looking over Scotz's musical gear ;) )

That's some sweet gear Scotz! I have a guitar and a bass and I can play okay... I write a little, (VERY little), but mainly like playing hard rock tunes... And Dice, A Mesa-Boogie with tubes is my dream amp.... :D

dice45 06-18-2002 06:06 PM

scotzoidman,
for the case you are searching new classical guitar recordings (and you do not know him already), hinthint, buy some (better all) played by Julian Bream.

aquaman,
the Mesa Boogie was quite an experience. my schoolmate did not believe it, then he tried a 10 Watt unit for his Gibson. Just incredible, the thing replaced the SS 50W Fender amp at once.
Myself, i am not too much into guitar amps, just love the sound. But currently i am designing and building a tiny pushpull amp using fancy directly heated tubes and also having about 8W of power. Curious how this thing will come out.

scotzoidman 06-18-2002 10:25 PM

Ok, Aquadude, ya want sumpin to drool over...

But first, for safety's sake, get yer ass-watchin bib in place, & sit back from the monitor...don't wanna short out the keyboard...

Amp gear only, the guitars in combo might be too much for weak constitutions ;)
