Roadrunner Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Very pretty! I wouldn't want to have to shlep all that though- I play a 4-piece set of '71 Ludwigs with 2 cymbals and a high-hat. I never took them out of the house. I'm a "play for me" kind of guy. I had more than a few offers to jam with some other guys, but never bothered.
Mr Stock Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Played guitar and bass for over 22 years, I was a bass player in a Rockabilly/rock n roll band for a number of years, havent been in a band for about 10 years now, but I still play for practice a lot. Still own my two Fender basses, a Telecaster an Epi Les paul and a Gibson SG special and a couple of acoustics. All the big amplifiers have been sold on over the years , I use Fender modelling amps now for both guitar and bass (Mustang and Bronco).
BirdWatcher Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Played some rhythm guitar and some vocals for a couple of bands. I miss my old tube amps. Been thinking about a low wattage tube amp lately. Maybe a 15 watt Orange. Would love to get another Laney AOR.
Mike_G Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 I'm auditioning as a singing drummer for another band on Friday.
Roadrunner Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 I'm auditioning as a singing drummer for another band on Friday. I entertained fantasies about becoming a big time rock 'n roll drummer when I was much younger, but those days are very far behind me now. Good luck with your hunt.
Mike_G Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) I entertained fantasies about becoming a big time rock 'n roll drummer when I was much younger, but those days are very far behind me now. Good luck with your hunt. At 57 years old I don't really have any rockstar aspirations, I just want to play good music and entertain people The audition went pretty well last night- the electronic drumset they had was horrid, but I sang pretty well so now I'm in 2 bands We played: Jailbreak by Thin Lizzy It Don't come Easy by Ringo China Grove and Long Train Runnin' by the Doobie Bros. Jet by Paul McCartney and Wings Brown Sugar by the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Hoochie-koo by Rick Derringer Edited January 17, 2015 by Mike_G
chunkypeanutbutter Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Electronic drumset. Horrible. Like a Clonewheel Hammond. Doesn't sound the same, doesn't feel the same... Completely different things! Congrats on the acceptance!

Congrats on the acceptance! Thanks! There is no substitute for a real tonewheel Hammond- they're just a maintenance nightmare (along with Mellotrons)
