I've played guitar now for 11 or 12 years.  I have 5 or 6, maybe 7 guitars (when we moved into our house, I almost needed my own road crew  :lol:) of various types.  Acoustic & electric.  My Les Paul is my prize.

I'm on the left in this one:

my favorite amp set up:

http://www.rabbibob.com/galleria/albums/us...shall_stack.jpg (http://www.rabbibob.com/galleria/albums/userpics/normal_marshall_stack.jpg)

It doesn't go to 11, but it rates 107dB w/o any effects pushing it higher.  2 cabs with 4x10" Celestions each.

and finally, hopefully my little one will take it up too

I'm Scot by descent, McBain->Beane.  However, my wife's parents (McCallum) emmigrated from Scotland, so it fit right for our ceremony.

(http://www.rabbibob.com/galleria/albums/userpics/anniversary/wedding/normal_SwingKiss.jpg)

As for the amp & neighbors:  I stopped many hacks from playing while at college just by turning it up to '7', cranking out whatever song they were trying to learn while having their amps turned to full and then enjoying the silence of them putting their gear away.  I have been asked by the police to turn my radio off before.  I said thanks for the compliment and that I would happily oblige.

Nice Kilt Bob, I know someone who recently wore one of those to get married.

Me :).

I have 2 Electric Guitars,  Fender Strat and a Shaftsbury Les Paul (1952) with a replica painting of the art work from Fools Gold on the he front (Stone Roses, Dolphin Picture).

4 acoustic guitar. A 1971 Yamaha 6 string which isby baby and sounds delightful, easiest guitar to play in the world. An Eros 12 string, real heavyweight but with the action so low you it is a doddly to play. An Eros 6 string, another heavyweight but sound great.

Finally a Hofner 3/4 nylon strung acoustic from 1920. Bit old and battered but it sounds nice.

I also have a couple of harps (moothies for you tramps out there).

Very nice gear Albert.  Congrats on the wedding too!

My gear list:

Electrics
Les Paul - Black Standard - 1992
ESP KH-502 - Kirk Hammett Limited Ed (skull & crossbones on the 12th fret)
Ibanez Roadstar II - currently stripped to the wood and refinishing.  Will be re-assembled with 2 Seymour Duncan humbuckers and a split coil humbucker. Should yield 9 different sounds when completed: Bridge - Middle 1 - Middle 2- Neck pickups: B/B+M1/B+M2/M1/M2/N+M1/N+M2/N/B+N

Acoustics
Epiphone PR-5 Acoustic Electric (cutaway body)
Seagull G12 - 12 string acoustic
Kay Archtop w/F-holes circa late50/early60's - restored (plays beautifully)
Yamaha - strings are way high, use it for slide

Stratolite nylon string.  Bang around guitar, bought at yard sale and the strings cost more than it did.   :devil:

Bass Guitar (and regular guitars, but mainly powerchords, badly, on those ;) )

Got an Ibanez Roadster whose electronics is a bit old and needs redoing sometime. Active circuitry is slightly bust due to old age, but the passive bits fine, which is what I use anyway.

Speaker's a 15" Fane custom (150Wrms continuous) speaker in a home-made cab that could probably use a bit more padding.

100Wrms mosfet poweramp sitting semi-completed, still needs a preamp section.

I also have a rusting clarinet on which I once achieve Grade7 level, but then it's been virtually unused for 5 or 6 years.

I've rewired and replaced the jack socket a few times, and rewired some of the electronics. Passive circuitry works fine (active never sounded that much better/different anyway) Would be nice to fix the active stuff and maybe sort out the pickups etc one day. It wouldn't take me too long I think, as the band would be a bit annoyed if I left it in bits like my amp (6 years that has been waiting to be completely finished... :blush: )

I've played guitars (accoustic/electric/6+12 string), keyboards, bodhran, bones, penny whistle, banjo (6-string cheating), mandolin and melodeon.  Busked on the streets,  in bars, played clubs, halls and even (local)TV.  I've even played support to Tom Paxton in Germany.

I've got a lovely cherry red early Tokai Goldstar Strat (The lawsuit guitar, for those in the know).

But same as Venom, I've never put aside the time to learn it.

I bought it about 12 years ago when I worked with a guy who was a session guitarist in his spare time, cost me just over £200 2nd hand but it's a beauty and worth a fair bit more now.

Recently one of my brothers has renewed his guitaring interest and has bought a couple of new ones, including the current Tokai Goldstar, but he realy wants mine. He did actually take the time to learn and knock out a few tunes. He also told me about the lessons you can get off YouTube to learn.

I might actually try one day.

Clarinet, Bass guitar, ...and I guess a little guitar too :)

did grade 6 for Clarinet many moons ago, and was probably up to grade 7 level by the time I stopped playing it enough (instrument's in need of a serious overhaul before it'd make a decent sound again though). It's on my to do list...

Played bass for a number of little bands (varying from pop/rock to thrash&"Nu" metal) back in Zim and here in the UK through uni although it's been on the shelf for a year or so. I can make a decent enough noise on a guitar, though mainly a choice between bass-y technique or power-chords :flirty:

Once the PhD is properly over I've already got taking up the bass in a band down on my work "personal developement plan" objectives :D. Anyone in London thinking about starting up a bit of a band thing...it's in the back of my mind atm:)
