Hello everyone, 
 
I've had an account here for awhile but haven't participated. I'm from Washington, D.C., been playing most of my life, so about 45 years. I suppose that I'm a pro, whatever that means these days. Maybe "lifer" would be more descriptive. 
 
I'll check threads here for current info on specific topics, as I'm guessing that most of us do. I don't tend to post unless I have first-hand knowledge that could be of assistance. So, I won't leave a lot of trash in the discussions. 
 
Although I had put a gear list in my sig, I'll guess that it is customary here as well. So: 
Lakland 44-64 (Duck Dunn), Fender Precision, Fender Aerodyne Jazz 
Eden WT-550, GB Shuttle 6.0, MB Little Mark II 
Bergantino AE112, AE212, GB 210T 
3 Leaf Enabler, Eden (DIs), TC Chorus, MXR Envelope Filter, various delays 
Other gear that's not really worth mentioning 
 
Thanks, I look forward to hanging out and wish everyone a great today and tomorrow. 
 
Mark
