Posted July 10, 2017 Necrobumping for a good cause. I am primarily a singer, but I've also been playing guitar for 12 years now, bass since 2009 and keyboards/piano since 2010. I primarily work out of my home studio and I have put out 2 releases, one while my old hair metal band was still together, called Diamond Dust, which you can find below. https://diamonddustrocks.bandcamp.com/album/love-dont-pay-the-bills Also my new solo album which is called Strength, can be found at erict.bandcamp.com I'm also the lead singer in an 80's hair metal tribute band called Hollywood Blvd here in the Tampa Bay area. My newest project though is a band called ShinraCo which I joined about 6 months ago and we're working on our debut album, which is entitled 'Come To Grips' which will be released July 30th. I do a bit of singing in it, but its primarily for me to play guitar in. I play Carvin/Kiesel and Charvel/Jackson guitars almost exclusively and run them through my Line 6 HD Pod Pro X.

Posted July 10, 2017 Intersting topic (if it gets off the ground this time) I primarily play guitar, but I'm also capable of playing bass, piano and drums. Apart from piano I'm self-taught on all the instruments. I really do regret not taking any music lessons when I was younger, but what can you do? I have been know to sing live aswell. I can't sing for shit, but that has never stopped me. I have primarily played various genres of metal and punk music, but I've dabbled in electronic music lately (mostly noise, industrial and drum'n'bass). And I've played live in most bands and projects I've been involved with. As of right now I play a Chapman ML1 Pro Modern and an Ibanez RGD guitar, often times paired with a Revv Generator 120 amp.

I feel I'd be pretty good at it too I pretty much had to learn drums out of necessity. There's hardly a lack of good guitarists, but good drummers are few and far between. Which is too bad, since your entire band often end up sucking if your rhythm section suck.

The rhythm section has to be on point, otherwise its just awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of bass players I've been into contact with tend to be on the slacking side. I would even count myself in that category. Whiich reminds me, I need to get new strings for my bass.... I guess Glenn Fricker does have a point afterall. And just becuase I'm curious, what bass do you play? 2 hours ago, EricTrujillo said: The rhythm section has to be on point, otherwise its just awful. I actually have a funny story about that. There once was a small, local cover band that played bars not too far from where I live. Their lead singer once told me that their drummer was so awful, that they resorted to not micing up his drums when they played live. When the drummer found out they resorted to desoldering the cartridges within the microphones themselves. All just to remove as much of him from the live mix. Unfortunatly, the drummer was pretty much the leader of the band and all the equipment was apperently his, so throwing him out of the band wasn't an option. There's also this. The drummer seems to always be 1/2 a beat behind the rest of the band. I wonder how a sound engineer heard this and though: "yep, that's fucking great". How stuff like that happens with a major commercial release is beyond me.

The Jackson is pretty awesome, the Kramer used to be great, but now its garbage. Its the bass on the Diamond Dust record, the Jackson was used on my solo album and it sounds huge even with the stock pickups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ML1 pro is probably the prettiest guitar I've yet to see. As for myself, I'm really still a novice. I picked up acoustic in January and have been really enjoying it so far. I have a teacher, hut I've been somewhat self taught as I get lessons infrequently. - snip- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 11, 2017 I play the guitar on an old (but wonderful) Martin D15 acoustic, and electric Fender Squire (cheap version of a Strat). Blues, Jazz, and some old rock. Most recently I bought an Akai mini-midi controller with a compact keyboard, drum pads, etc. Having an absolute blast with it , http://prntscr.com/fwgwif Best Excuses: #1(simple) "Well, I never liked that stupid thing anyway!" #2(complex) "Obviously there was a flaw in the material, probably due to the inadvertent introduction of contaminants during the manufacturing process."

Maybe I should give them a try. Personally, I use an older Rickenbacker 4004L. It sounds really good, but it's somewhat tricky to work into a live mix. 15 hours ago, MrDynamicMan said: Lucky man.

Jackson basses are a little less common than their guitars but they're pretty fantastic. Hell their JS series of 5 string bases is really good for the price.

Posted July 15, 2017 Just recently started to play electric guitar again. I took lessons as a little kid but I was forced to practice and kind of hated it so after that I put it down for a while. Getting back into it is really fun, though I was actually decent before and I regret stopping for so long because I barely remember anything. Currently on a Fender Squire and a crappy effects amp that I need to use the PC software for to get a clean sound... working on upgrades Lenovo Ideapad 720s 14 inch ------ One day I'll have a desktop again...

Posted July 16, 2017 Oh hai there Nice to see a musicians club in LTT So, I play classic guitar and bass, find myself playing mostly rock (Muse, Nirvana and all that). I am part of a concert band. We don't perform that often, and the band is composed by guitars only... Started playing classic guitar when I turned 8. Almost 10 years later, here I am, and I still feel like I don't know shit "an obvious supporter of privacy" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
