💬 OT TCG Musicians, or Guitar gear junkies?

[Pewter-Camaro]

Any Musicians on TCG? I Recently started playing again after not really doing much with music for a while. I play guitar, a bit of Bass, sing a little, and play piano. I have a few electrics, acoustics, a Uke, 4 string banjo, Bass, couple amps, and random recording gear. I love screwing with old junk guitars and guitar setup and tech stuff but I've been back to recording latley since my Nephews are learning guitar and piano and they have fun recording. I decided today to setup for a more quality recording and did a quick cover using Bandlab. Its unreal what can be done at home these days. this was with Free Software and an old Roland Quad capture Audio interface and a couple mics.

I play some mean Rockband when I'm drunk.

 

[GTPpower]

Man, you've got a good voice. That sounds nice.

I do a little playing and singing. All I have is an acoustic. I can only play some pretty basic stuff though. I used to be better when I lived in a hotel for work and had nothing to do at night but play.

Used to play some heavy shit on drums before my ankles went to the crapper. Good times...

So on the Guitar nerd front I have crazy thick 14ga flatwound strings on a jazz arch top and thought what would a regular solid body les Paul play and sound like with them. Well I tossed on some flatwound 12’s on this morning and love it! Smoother, warmer sounding and very balanced from string to string. Yeah they were $25 for the set but worth it thus far.

I got the horn section if we're gonna skank

 

[Pewter-Camaro]

Ohhh yeah. I was in a Punk ska band in the 90’s. Skank on!

Pick it up pick it up pick it up!

Ok....for organs/pianos. I’ve had an obscene amount. Like triple digits...I’m not even kidding.
for pianos they are digital ones.

organs was a side business for awhile for me. I’ve had EVERYTHING but a B3

so Wurlitzer, Hammond, Lowery, Conn, Etc. Much of it was late 50s or early’60s. Had a couple from the 40’s even.
Not even going to try and list them all, just pics I have in my phone

 

[Ron Vogel]

Tubes and drivers? Of course, I’ve depleted world supplies
