Hi everyone, new member here

Primarily rock player, born and raised in tampa but living in nasville for work.

Have a LP i spent literally all my money on when I was a teenager, will never let that go.

Currently running a friedman plex through a 2x12 with scumback bm75s, and have a jvm 50w on the shelf

Suhr S vintage LE In daphne blue
Lsl custom build, black sparkle over Burgundy mist with a tortoise guird (the number 1)
Shell pink lsl s type, will be my new gigging guitar, sub 7lb.
Warmoth parts tele

Looking into a used eastman d30/d40. Though I had a martin aura and loved it, might just bite the bullet and buy once cry once
 
Welcome! I think you will fit in well here. I lived in St. Pete for many years and Nashville for a short time. How are you liking Nashville vs Tampa?

Working in Nashville? Either you're a monster player and you're just being modest, or you have any other job. Tennessee really is the best state in the Union. I'm a bit partial myself.

TN is a pretty sweet state, I agree.

I 100% appreciate the seasons vs Tampa and that it's not so spread out. Plus, music scene is unrivaled

I work in finance, I'm a humble player for sure but im no bukovac/trapp. Pigeon holding myself into rock for so long did me no favors as far as living in nashville goes, but im shedding every day.

It is big time. I have had a lot of stuff I regret selling over the years but hey, I don't have the cash or space to build a nerdville in my house so catch and release it is for me. Currently gassing after a fender amp. Really interested in that 57 twin they came out with a while back, I like the bonamassa HP twin, but thats more than I want to spend.

Being in nashville, really regretting selling the silverface twin i used to have but live and learn lol

I do love St. Pete and I don't mind the heat but I have a love/hate relationship with FL. I found the Austin scene rivals the Nashville scene, there are more decent paying gigs here, except on average the players are better in Nashville. The upside is if you can play well there is less competition.

Look, we can't jack off to words. We need some gear pictures. It is clearly stated in the rules.

Fender? Look for a used Super Twin, I found have two now...one needs some work, the other came back to life with new tubes (lots of tubes, matched sextet of 6L6GC). I found these for well under $600, and under $500...hearvy, UPS damaged one (that's working).

If you need reverb in the amp, there's always the Super Twin Reverb.

Deal's Gap, Blue Ridge Mtn Pkwy and Cherohala Skyway and the areas around that were my fav when I owned sportbikes living in the ATL burbs.
 
Welcome aboard!
Les Paul through a Friedman, nice set-up.
Add a SD-1 or TS808 as a boost and it will be perfect.
I have 4 Les Pauls, 1 SG and 3 Friedmans and the above mentioned boost pedals.
 
Welcome to our little corner of the internet. Probably the best gear forum around too.

Enjoy :cheers:

And like @Smash said, we definitely like our pics and clips.
