Current collection includes the Ibanez steel string acoustic I learnt to play on, a Cole Clark FL2AC semi-acoustic (sounds fantastic plugged in!), Fender American Deluxe FMT Strat with a suhr aldrich humbucker in the bridge, an LTD MH-350NT QMT with active EMG pickups and a Fender American Jazz Bass (I'm terrible at bass).

I had some classical singing training during uni and used to play clarinet and saxophone when I was younger. Owned an alto sax but played the schools tenor sax in jazz and senior bands in high school. When I was 17 I sold my sax to buy a car stereo...regretted it ever since!

I've messed around with writing and recording some of my own songs since I was in high school. I've got what I would consider a fairly nice amateur home recording setup. I don't actually own any guitar or bass amps these days, I record using an Avid Eleven Rack - these things are epic! It emulates different amps, cabs, mics etc and makes recording electric guitar at home so much easier (and much better sounding) than trying to mic up an amp and cab setup.

May not be anyone's cup of tea, but someone above mentioned posting audio links, so here's the latest song I wrote and recorded. I apologise for the bass and drums, I'm a terrible bass player and the drums are a program.

Wow, that's awesome man, I loved that. Having met you, I pretty much spent 4 minutes in disbelief that sound come out of your face, unbelievable!

Seriously man, wow

Maybe we do need to lay down some tracks after all. I could be the bad musician with the good gear in the background... Hahaha

Came on here to say I play guitar and bass, but wow, who cares now right?!

As you were
