What up Eric....

What kind of guitar you play? I consider myself a bass-beginner. Bought a Squier Vintage 70's bass a few months back. Looks like the Fender Marcus Miller Bass but $600 cheaper. LOL

Ok, got a guitar, a bass....need a drummer, keyboards and a singer....B.F.R.U Band. LOL

Sounds pretty sweet! My uncles on my mom's side were in a jazz group together back in the 70s, so naturally they have a whole lot of instruments and equipment dating back to the 60s and 70s still.

I play an ESP Ltd. H-200 series; it's got a nice cherry-wood color finish on it, good for playing Blues, but I can also shred on it and play some metal if needed (which is often). Ironically, it also plays and sounds good with Flamenco Spanish style guitar, which I dabble in.

Hah, what should we call the band? I nominate the name Knife Fight in a Phone Booth.

"Knife Fight In A Phone Booth" sounds like I need to work on my heavy metal sound. Kinda like P.O.D or Korn. LOL I have been playing around with Hendrix and the Band of Gypsys.



what I'm working with...not from the 70's but made with the same look and spec. Nice low sound. Working on putting a BadAssII bridge on it.

Hey dahlin, didn't know they had skinny sports fans in Florida. Oh well, live and learn. Welcome home.

BTW: A certain party runs around on this site with a "big balled squirrel" in his pocket. Now him, you better steer clear of cause he's about as looney as that damn squirrel! You've been warned!
