[Neal]

Greetings from Cowpens South Carolina. I came across this site a week ago, while I was researching an old fender bassman that I picked up.
There is a lot of good info passing through here, and I'm looking forward to being a part of it.

Ok ya'll here it goes:happy I was born in SC, and raised on Long Island. Moved back to SC in 2005. I have been playing off and on since 1964. Mostly gospel, soul, and rock and roll. Right now I'm doing mostly local Church work, but the yearn to hit the road, still lingers.

Over the years, I've accumulated a very nice collection or guitars and amps, but i'm just now breaking into the effects side of things, and am working on a rack.

My Guitars:
1957 ES 225D
1968 ES 345TDC
1980 ES 175 Mahogney
1980s ES 295
1980s ES 350
Gretch New yorker
1930s epiphone
1978 Fender P Bass
2008 Fender Strat USA
2008 Fender Tele USA (ash)

MY Amps:
1972 Twin Silver face
1965 Twin Black face
1970s Bassman w/matching cabinate
Two Peavey Bass amps.

WHOA!! :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

That's one SERIOUSLY nice stable there. The list of hollowbodies is particularly impressive. Not to mention the '65 Twin. Photos, pretty pretty puh-leeze?!?!

 

[Neal]

I'll do that as soon as I get things figured out:agree
