Here are two of my basses. I have been very fortunate to get some great instruments. There is nothing like quality. My 6 string is a Ken Smith BT6EG, the 4 string is a '79/'80 Fender Precision Bass. Hopefully my Scamp will turn out as wonderful as these are.

Me and my Ibanez RoadstarII Cherry Sunburst, circa 1989 or 90. I still have it but I myself is a little heavier by about 25 lbs and a whole lot greyer. ;)

I also have an early 80's Vantage acoustic that I bought new for a couple hundred bucks (no pics of that one right now) that plays and sounds as nice as any thousand dollar guitar, and I've played quite a few. ;) I went through a lot of guitars all through the 80's in my rock band days (including a new 79 Les Paul Standard ) but I found the two that are keepers and I'll have them til I die. My Gibson sounded and played great but it weighed a ton and my Ibanez plays and sounds as good and it's about 6 lbs lighter and that means a lot when you've got it on your shoulder 5 hours a night.

Here are my Hohner knock-offs. I learned how to play guitar on the red one. Bought it back from my buddy who moved to New York. That guitar will never leave my hands. The tobacco one i bought a few years ago, its got better sound than the red one. I play that one mostly.

Hehe, my buddys JCM 800 after a "jam night". That was after the trash can was full.

I also have a 1960 Harmony Rocket Hollowbody. The pickup smokes anything. God the sound! Also, a G&L L2000 Bass Leo Fender signature (on the horn). A Jay turser strat copy from a pawn shop, gave this one to my son. He loves it and its actually a really nice guitar.

A Peavy Bass Cab with 2 15" speakers, Crate V32 Tube amp and vox 4x10 cab. Crate 2x12 120 watt solid-state. Plus a Fender Tube bass amp (1x12).

Lotsa crap. Oh, and a drum set the wife plays. PDP Birch. Oh, and a Hammond M-3. Will sell that cheap (already sold the leslie).

My 3 main guitars from left to right....

DSCI1025.jpg


-Jackson JS30 Warrior. Got rid of the stock Jackson bridge pickup and got a Seymour Duncan Dimebucker installed. Got this in June 2007. Don't play it too much anymore....only for downtuned stuff.

-Jackson RR3 Rhoads. This one is my baby. I got it in September 2006 as a birthday present from my mom. It hasn't missed a show with me yet. Transparent Blue, Seymour Duncan pickups, Floyd Rose floating locking bridge. Custom made Randy Rhoads tribute neck plate. It's had some serious show and band practice time and has the scars to prove it.

-LTD EX-102 Explorer. I bought this in January 2010 from a kid off Craigslist for $200. Has Duncan designed pickups in it. I bought it to customize but I'm starting to really like it too much to customize.

-Aria STG Strat copy. This is my first guitar. My dad got it for me. It cost $210 from a pawnshop. Brand new in the box along with a 10 watt Aria amp. I barely play it anymore. The tuning goes out after one song.

-Jackson JS1 Dinky. My dad bought this for me in March 2007. I don't play it anymore. I took the strings off to restring it and forgot to buy new strings. After about 4 months of sitting I finally bought new strings but when I put them on, they hit the neck. I was told the neck is probally warped and the truss rod needs to be adjusted to fix that. Haven't really had the money or time to take it in yet.



NewPicturesfromcamera286.jpg


-Jay Turser RR V copy. My mom bought this for me for $240 back in late 2005. I didn't think I could afford a real Jackson RR Rhoads so I got this copy. However, I ended up getting a real Rhoads later in the year. This one sits in the case under my bed.

-Kenneth acoustic. I bought this in Cabo San Lucas Mexico back in January 2006. Cost me $50. I don't play it anymore. The strings are way too tense and I have no idea how to adjust them.

-My first amp was an Aria 10 watt. Next I had a used Yamaha 50 watt. Then I bought a Marshall MG250DFX. The Marshall got stolen in July 2007 so I bought a Randall 75 watt to replace it. I ended up getting the Marshall back so I took the Randall back to the store. I still have my Marshall.

-My custom made pedalboard. I made it a few months ago. Decided to paint it in the same colour scheme I plan on doing my '69 Charger. My pedals from left to right......Dunlop Zakk Wylde wah, Dunlop MXR Eddie Van Halen Phase 90, Boss NS1 Noise Suppressor and a Digitech Brian May multi-effects. Also on the pedalboard is the footswitch for my Marshall.

-Here's a picture of the custom neck plate on my Jackson RR3. It's a tribute to Randy Rhoads.



I keep every piece of gear I have ever owned. The exception being the Yamaha 50 watt amp. I sold it to my mom's friend so I could put the money towards my Marshall. What I don't have pictures of is my Academy acoustic. It's my primary acoustic now. It can be seen in my video cover of Nothing Else Matters by Metallica though.....
