Q3: I'm too old to become famous now! I enjoy messing about at home, but as I said in my intro - it'd be cool to get together with others.
Q4: I don't have anything flash or particularly impressive. I do cheap and cheerful but I have a few modded and upgraded Epiphones and Squiers in my ranks. My best is probably my Gibson Les Paul - it's only a 50s Tribute T though.
Q5: I can't give a #1 track as 1 is too limiting! I could chose something now and in 5 mins I'd change my mind. Even if I was to list a top 100 songs, it'd be different in 5 minutes time.

Hello again!!!
I'm Rik and I've played bass (badly) since I was about 16. I briefly owned an SG, which mostly sat on a stand for a few years untouched until I sold it! In the last few weeks I bought a used Yamaha Pacifica which I've actually been learning to play this time, and I'm already better than I ever was in the years I owned my previous guitar.
Q1: Where did you username come from?
I'm a big Motley Crue fan!
Q2: Where in the world/country are you?
Leeds, in beautiful Yorkshire, UK
Q3: What's your main musical ambition?
I'd like to learn to play, like properly learn instead of just noodling. I'm still mainly a bassist, but I'd love to be able to play confidently with both - at the moment I still dislike playing in front of strangers in music stores!
Q4: Your "best" bit of gear - just the one?
My favourite bit of kit is my Squier Vintage Modified Jazz bass. It's the best instrument I've ever owned, hands down!
Q5: Your #1 ever track - again, just the one?
Oof, that's a tough one... it changes every few months but right now I'd have to go with Lost Art of Keeping a Secret by Queens of the Stone Age
Hello. I'm a 30-something musician in Edinburgh, as much bass as guitar. I have casually browsed past this forum enough times that I though it was probably worth joining. As well as playing guitar and bass in a couple of bands, I like to build and tinker with stuff - I'm working on an amp build at the moment.
Q1: Where did you username come from?
I have great difficulty coming up with forum user names that I don't later cringe at, so I just went with my name this time.
Q2: Where in the world/country are you?
I'm in Edinburgh.
Q3: What's your main musical ambition?
I'm more or less a dilettante musically - it's important to me but I've never pursued it all that seriously. So I guess I would like to appear on an album (however niche) that is remembered for something other than being a footnote in someone elses career!
Q4: Your "best" bit of gear - just the one?
Hmm, it's not a guitar, but probably my 1900-ish German/Czech double bass.
Q5: Your #1 ever track - again, just the one?
Like everyone, it varies. But "Steal Softly Through Snow" by Captain Beefheart always causes some sort of emotional response.
Q2 Fife in Scotland
Q3 To enjoy playing into old age. I've had so much out of music through my life and I'd like to think that it will always be there.
Q4 My clip-on Korg strobe tuner. It's just that little bit more accurate and pretty much anything can sound good as long as it's in tune.
Q5 Harsh cut and not easy to answer. Aja Steely Dan - it's got a bit of everything I need in it.
I'm not a guitarist myself, but just registered as I'm having to sell my brother's old guitar gear. I don't really know how to go about this, as I have absolutely no idea how much any of the various bits are worth. What should I do - just post in the classifieds and ask for sensible offers? Or is there somewhere else on the forum (here?) that I could list the bits to get some guidance?
Would really appreciate any help. Thanks.
Hello! I've been playing a little over 20 years now but have lapsed in the past five or so due to life and some issues with my hands that have robbed me of some of my dexterity. Getting back into playing and trying to overcome frustration with my limitations now. By buying things mainly, as you do.
Q1: Where did you username come from?
It's an Amon Tobin song that I used when I signed up for XBox Live and it stuck. I wanted Rhino Jockey but it was taken

Q1: Where did you username come from?
I only started getting into pedals recently after appreciating how the group Girl Band manage to create incredible noises that don't sound like any particular instrument on stage with just a bassist, guitarist and a drummer. I've gotten into unorthodox glitchy effects and I'm a bit of a 'noob' so that's where it came from.
Q2: Where in the world/country are you?
Edinburgh.
Q3: What's your main musical ambition?
To make music that's interesting and new, without any pretence.
Q4: Your "best" bit of gear - just the one?
My Fender American strat - the original neck broke and replaced it with an American lefty neck I got for a good price (guitar is a righty). The feel to it is unbelievable. I also drunkenly 'reliced' the finish on a train once because I thought the finish looked too 'nice' - it now looks pretty unique I think.
Q5: Your #1 ever track - again, just the one?
Patti Smith — Gloria. Doesn't get old.
