Hi everyone,
Just joined the forum and didn't want to be one of those pesky lurkers so I figured I'd introduce myself.
I am 39 years old, live in a musically deprived town called Bryan in the nw corner of ohio. Desperately searching for a band, but not much in the way of prospects around here. My biggest and earliest influence was Gene Simmons, and I'm still a die hard Kiss fan to this day. Gene is the reason I have my gibson, a 77 ripper, it's seen better days, LOL. My second biggest influence is Allen Woody.
I started on an old ibanez exb, which went to my wife this past valentines day when she expressed a desire to learn. Since then she has also picked up an Epiphone Eb-0. For valentines day I also gave her my bass rig, an ancient carvin pro bass 300 and a more recent carvin 410. I replaced it with a carvin bx1200 and a carvin 810. Funny how I used the 810 once and borrow her 410 all the time or use my old carvin 210.
The arsenal has undergone a lot of changes this year. In january, I got rid of my ibanez prestige sr1000. Picked up an epi thunderbird and financed part of my rig. A decision I can't imagine I'll ever regret. For valentines day, my wife bought me an 81 peavery t-40. This month was the big one...I had some back issues that keep me from playing the t-40 (the tree trunk that it is), so my wife, out of the blue, buys me a peavey millenium bxp, meanwhile I picked up a pawn shop princess, a super cheap epi-ebo that went under the knife, and the router, and the sander, etc etc etc. AND, last week I got an orange metallic yammy bb414 off of ebay :] Ok, enough of my babbling. Hi everybody :]
