Hi chaps,

new to the forum, thought I'd say hello.

I'm mainly a fingerstyle classic rock player but will lend my hands to pretty much anything if you pay me. Not adverse to using a pick for driving an eighth note groove along either.

I don't slap - crap at it, and if you'll forgive the pun, I'm all fingers and thumbs.

I'm ancient by most standards (born May 1960) but, if nothing else, my advancing years at least allow me to have enough money to indulge myself when it comes to bass gas.

The intrument inventory is:

Roscoe SKB3005 (custom built 5 string)
Warwick FNA (5 string)
Dean Rhapsody (12 string)

the rest all four strings...

Ken Smith Design v60J4 (with EBS pre-amp supplied and fitted by Bernie Goodfellow)
Ric 4003 Blue Boy
Status Electro Mk1
Lakland Skyline Bob Glaub precision
Fender CIJ '51 Precision re-issue
Warwick Fortress One

I have also just ordered another Roscoe, an SKB300 four string, with flamed exhibition grade redwood top, spanish cedar body, maple and purpleheart laminated neck, african tulipwood fretboard, nordstrand DC soapbars and an Audere pre-amp. Build time is 8 to 10 months. can't wait...

plus
Tanglewood TW45CE electro acoustic
Fender MIM '72 Telecaster Custom re-issue

Amp heads
Trace Elliot AH-350SMX
Peavey Probass 500
Hartke HA3000

Cabs
Trace 2x10
Ashdown ABM1x15 (pre-blue speakers)
Hartke 4x10
SWR Triad Mk1 (1x15, 1x10, horn)

various pedals (plus a couple of guitar amps)

Hope I'll be able to contribute to some debates and glad to be here.
