Bought that the other day to use at church, thats the plan anyway, I like it a bit too much to leave it there right now! Its a Yamaha APX5.

I need to sell some guitars, they are everywhere :eek:

Wouldn't mind a little review of the APX5 after you've played a bit with it - I'm looking at buying one for an electroacoustic.

How do you like your Gretsch? I should be getting a Catalina Birch tomorrow - I love a birch kit, and there's a great deal on it. (edit - it's on the way, got to wait 2 weeks)

And please, for the love of god, get rid of the B8 ride already

Here's my new (and first) guitar and amp

Chuffed to bits with it so far and I'm currently learning Pink Floyd - Wish you were here :cool:

How amazing would that be? We should make a 3-way drumming band, like a 3-man drumbassadors

it would take some working out... but you could pull of some kick ass grooves.

Dave · 14 Jun 2006 at 13:08

One cowbell on each foot? Who needs a bass drum?

I guess that would be what you two are for!

lmfao, i have double bass pedals although i dont double pedal fast i can pull of some sick little grooves

and can play any style. how long ya all been playing for?

Dave · 14 Jun 2006 at 13:22

Been playing since I was about 6/7, so about 11/12 years. (that long :eek:

)

I'm the same with double bass, only really started last year (alawys been a single man) and I can either play standard speed or fast with the "twitch" method, but not in between like the majority of songs need! Practising a fair bit at the mo to get the double bass to scratch.

I play mainly rock/progressive but I do have the occasional dabble into Latin stuff. (with those cowbells, who wouldn't?) Would love to play a bit of funk too, it's just so laid back and "in the groove" :cool:

You been playing long? I remember listening to your band a few months ago and thinking it was actually listenable heavier music. (I'm really not into heavy stuff - the occasional Dream Theater album is fine though)

aye the music i played then was kinda me gettin use to the songs they were more of jam sessions ive been playing for 12 years or so now, and my technique has changed a lot much more layed back, ill record a few videos and host em for yas to watch, can play much more technical now.

i use to play hip-hop all the time, so the change to metal was why i think it sounded scrappy.
