Untie what?

Guitfiddle: 96' Squire Strat w/ EMG pickups
Sold my low model Hammett due to some front work I needed on my truck.

I want a 69 Gibson SG reissue!

FX:
SKB SKB-PS-25 Pedalboard (to power/link my all me stomps)
DOD FX86 Death Metal Distortion Pedal
DOD FX84 Milk Box Compressor Pedal
Morley Little Alligator Volume Pedal
Dunlop DB-01 Dime Cry Baby From Hell
Boss DD-6 Digital Delay

Rig:
Sovtek MIG 100 all tube Lead Amp

Cabinet:
Crate cab with 4 12" Celestians

I run all the stomp boxes because I just get into it more. I have never been completely satisfied with any all in wonder FX board. I get far more range of noise wif me single stomps.

It's more work to use all pedals but it's just what I enjoy.

Elephant is the best record I have heard in a while. Other than that, I listen to aboot everything in every genre.

Favorite Ensembles?
Pink Floyd
Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs
REM
Doors
Led Zeppelin
Slayer

haha not ensembles as in famous groups, i mean famous pieces of music that are on sheet music and played by non-famous people. like for instance in Stubernic, its 3 players on a marimba, and we perform in front of a live audience

Not sure about musicians, but as far as clothing here is my choice of ensemble, nothing screams unibrow more then red on red.

ensemble b : a complete costume of harmonizing or complementary clothing and accessories.

i rock out on a 96 limited edition american standard fender stratocaster and a 2002 american deluxe stratocaster.

my amp was a mesa/boogie dual recifier through a marshall 1960 cab, but i had to get rid of the mesa a couple months ago due to money problems.

BASS

Ibanez Jazz Bass series, 4 string and dual pickup. Allegedly once owned by Liz Phair. I bought it from a tech at Chicago Trax studios.

My brother

STUDIO

16 track digital recorder, a pod (sound effects), sonic maximizer, compressor, noise gate, miles of cable and a few microphones.

EQUIPMENT

Drum Kit (Pearl), about seven guitars and a bass which I forget the brand name.

See what happens to big brother's room when big brother moved out years ago?

You're all guitar-heads :/

I play the piano, trombone, and tuba.

I'm working up slowly to gain skill to perform Rimsky-Korsakov's Flight of the Bumblebee...not anywhere close, though. Currently practicing Mozart's Sonata in C, and Bach's Toccata in D Minor, and John Williams's Imperial March. Just finished In the Hall of the Mountain King from Peter Gynt Suite, and Beethoven's Fur Elise. Those two need refining, though.

Wow!!!

You guys all pwn me musically too!!! I just started learning how to play the guitar about a month and a half ago. I have a 2003 Ibanez Artcore Semi-hollow, strung lefty, since I couldn't find anything I liked in a lefty model. I really like learning, and I can even play a couple of songs, albeit really easy ones!

Hmmm, I really don't have any favorite ensembles, but I have always loved Classical Gas, esp the guitar solo, that dude rocks!!

Peter Gynt Suite?

Grieg is probably rolling over in his grave.

Peer Gynt Suite is one of my favorite pieces from one of my favorite composers. I love Solveig's Song and Ase's Death. They are two of my favorite pieces.

On the topic though, I play Cello. I played Piano for a couple of years, but didn't have enough time in High School to keep it up. I am working on a Saint-Saens concerto and a Brahms concerto. I don't particularly like Saint-Saens, so I am mostly working on the Brahms.
