I'm 36 years old I like long walks on the beach.. oops wrong forum.
From: Manchester, NEW Hampshire, which is in NEW England.
Playing guitar off and on since I was 16, despite all the practice I still play sloppy punk rock. Why? because it is fun and booze never effects my sound.
I'm an Architect/stay at home dad, my wife of 11 yrs. is beautiful, brilliant and makes buckets of money in the pharmaceutical industry. I'm a bit of an Anglophile, like to make amps, have a darkroom and do 4x5, brew beer, more hobbies, more hobbies.... One 18 month old son and one on the way.

I'm 21 years young, currently live in the city of Maastricht which lies in the southern part of Netherlands near Belgium. I've lived in Bangladesh, Indonesia and Thailand for a big part of my youth, moved to the Netherlands in 2000. I'm raised Dutch though.

I picked up guitar playing in 2006, so I'm still relatively new. Started out acoustic with a very old nylon-stringed guitar we once bought in Indonesia, back then I only took a month of lessons but wasn't motivated to play the classical way. Started out electric guitar about 1-2 years later with an Orange Crush30R and a Strat-copy. I just loved the way the Orange looked, which I admit isn't a good way to pick out gear haha but I'm happy I did choose the Orange cause I'm hooked on the brand now. The Dual Terror is going to be my first serious amp for gigging with my band.

I only just graduated as a Graphic Designer, so I'm trying to start up as a freelancer. After the summer I'm probably going to start with another education in the illustrative direction. In the meantime I'm working (and saving up) as much as I can as a waiter.

Going to be 34 this year, and have been playing guitar since I was 13. Took a 6 year hiatus from it but have gotten my chops back up the last few years. Live around the Madison WI area and work for the public library system. When it comes to bands, I like to play heavy stoner rock, but try to learn from all styles. In the process of learning to finger pick. Gear is in the sig.

my name is jodi. i live in wa state. I've always wanted to shred. i've had guitars on and off for the last 15 years, but have only seriously been playing for about 4(in a band). I am 34. I am a cardivascular interventional x-ray tech. two kids a wife and a dog. my band is called the slippers. and its of postrock/dirtrock garage. we played one serious show. and are all to busy to rehearse. plus every fall my bass player flakes out to go on a jesus/mushroom quest and usually ends up in a looney bin for a while. so we are not very productive. I am currently trying to write and record new material (between naps and my busy on call schedule)

I am currently playing: avri thinskins(jazzmaster and tele). r30head. fender srri. my pedal board is always changing as I am still trying to dial in my live sound.

I'm 28 and was born and still live in San Jose, California.

I've been playing for about 12 years.

I've been a police officer for about 9 months. Now that I'm done with the training program, the academy before that and working and finishing up college before that...I finally have time to myself on my days off. So I've been playing alot more which is great. Married for almost a year to a great lady and we are going to be house hunting and baby making in the coming months...goodbye free time and gear money! :shock:

Haha, no to both unfortunately. I would love one of their old amps, and I think I could die content if I had been a member. The picture is just one I found somewhere, and I'm just a guy who digs their music.
