    Hello, I'm Ben.

    1. My username is my nickname.
    2. I come from the North East, near Middlesbrough.
    3. My musical dream is to either be a session bassist or to a make a living as a recording engineer/mixer. Probably more preference on the latter.
    4. I recently just bought a Focusrite ISA Two preamp. It's delicious.
    5. I can't give favourites because entirely depends what mood I'm in. Butt here is always time for the John Mayer Trio or Sting.

    Thanks for letting me join the community.

    Q1:  Years ago a friend of mine used to call me fast fingers Phil, so I've just kept the Fingers part!

    Q2:  I'm based in Norwich, Norfolk.

    Q3:  To make some money yet be able to be very self indulgent when it comes to performing. EG playing what I like rather than always trying to please the masses! Been there done that!

    Q4:  At the moment I'm in love with my Mesa Lonestar Special combo. But it's my Les Paul Std that makes it sound so bloody lovely!

    Q5:  This would have to be Machine Gun, Hendrix. From the live at Fillmore Band of Gypsies album. The control of the feedback and the way his guitar sounds like someones soul is screaming is real hairs on the back of the neck stuff. Need to have a lay down after listening to it.

     

    [edit]
    ChristophEar has created a Spotify playlist of all the #1 tracks
    Everyone's #1 tracks.

    And I just "stickied" this for as long as we've got lots of new rejoiners arriving!

    I'm a fulltime musician and I also run a studio which produces audio and video.

    I've released two instrumental solo albums and am just about to release my third.

    I've also been spending a lot of time creating demo videos on various products for guitar ( MI Audio, Line 6 etc) and have recently been made a brand ambassador for Line 6. I've always used PODs etc in the studio and have recently acquired the Line 6 Helix.

  • Q1:  Where did you username come from?
    My main guitar is a Strat and it was the first thing that came into my head when I joined my first music forum (Reaper) many years back.

    Since then I discovered that there are there are loads of Stratmans (or should that be Stratmen?), so I added 3142 because my initials are PI.

    Q2:  Where in the world/country are you?
    Woking, England. Temptingly only 20 minutes drive from Andertons in Guildford.

    Q3:  What's your main musical ambition?
    Having fun, still learning after playing for about 47 years.

    Q4:  Your "best" bit of gear - just the one?
    My HSS (S1 switching) American Fender Strat remains my favourite and I can't imagine that ever changing, whatever guitars I buy.

    Q5:  Your #1 ever track - again, just the one?
    Maybe something by Robben Ford, Jeff Beck or Guthrie Govan depending on my mood. But today I'll go for The Hunter from the Free Live album because that made a big impression on me in my youth. I still get shivers when I hear that Kossoff vibrato.

    Pete
    It's not a competition.

    Q1:  Where did you username come from?

    It's my name :-D

    Q2:  Where in the world/country are you?

    London UK but born in Rochford, Essex. Also lived in the USA and Finland.

    Q3:  What's your main musical ambition?

    I think SRV summed it up nicely: " I'm just trying to find the most tone I can... sometimes

    it's effortless and sometimes it's a struggle"

    Q4:  Your "best" bit of gear - just the one?

    Hmm, tough one. I would have to say my early Keeley modded TS9, it is nearly always there

    even if it's off, for its buffer and I just like the sound.

    Q5:  Your #1 ever track - again, just the one?

    Santana "Soul Sacrifice live at Woodstock"


    I like playing a lot and try and jam/open mic twice a week. I like playing a lot of different styles too.

    Equally, I like building and build all my own amps and cabs, assemble and spray my guitars from quality parts (Strat and Tele types), wind my own pickups for these too. I have built quite a few effects, my favoiurite being a Univibe, love those Light Dependent resistors lol, also built a  tube tester that is really useful but was very hard to do TBH (very tight PCB).

    I've got my first big gig soon, leading my own  band for the first time ever and covering a lot of diverse material that I like so fingers crossed...
