peteb Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Allo there I’m based in Bradford, thru born in Essex and lived in London for a fair few years – been gigging for 30 years on and off since I was a kid, mainly hard rock bands of various sorts… Got way too much gear these days, mainly due to the perils of eBay! At present the inventory consists of: Warwick Streamer Stage 1 Warwick Streamer LX Musicman Sterling 70s US Fender Precision (heavily modded) Ken Smith Burner (all basses are 4 strings – never got the hang of that 5th one) Mesa Boogie mpulse 360 Hartke 3500 SWR Goliath II 4x10 SWR Big Bertha 1x18 SWR Goliath Snr 6x10 Eden 2x10 cab (new) DHA rack overdrive unit Korg DT-1 rack tuner Yamaha SPX90 EXS octabass pedal For the past 9 years I’ve been playing in a band with the subtle moniker of ‘Spank The Monkey’ – never let a drummer name a band!! We play mainly local pubs and quite a few of the decent sized bike rallies throughout the north of England – somehow we also managed to get on a circuit of corporate gigs a few years ago, which culminated in a bizarre gig at the Café Royale in London with Chas & Dave ‘supporting’ us…! I have also of late been playing with a band called ‘Streetsleeper’ that appears to have run out of steam just recently, not to mention many many others over the years… Over and out….

noisedude Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Seem to be a lot of Yorkshire people joining at the moment, myself included. Live in Leeds, currently spending my weeks in Bradford doing teacher training. Nice collection of gear! If you ever need to dispose of a Warwick at a convenient location, I have a secure "drop off point" and can ensure you never need to see it again!
