Ok fairly standard question,what instrument do you play?Feel free to elaborate,how long you have been playing,your particular favourite brand of instrument manufacturer (Fender,Ibanez,Gibson ect).Anything relevant to instruments really.

play a somewhat crappy epi lp. only been playing for just over a year now, so i'm not that great

oh and i have a morgan monroe acoustic with an ovation style rounded back. it was pretty good till i messed with the truss rod like an idiot (back when i was even more noob than now) so it plays like crap now. but it still sounds pretty awesome.

epi lps are pretty good,two of my friends have them and i always thought they were pretty nice.i play a jackson warrior WRXT,good for shredding apparently(i wouldnt know...im really quite shit at it lol).
Also lol bout the truss rod,is the neck badly warped?

kidsthesedays · by **kidsthesedays** on Wed Oct 24, 2007 9:50 am

not visibly...i'm not sure exactly what it did. but there's a very noticeable difference in playability. it's practically impossible to hammer and pull off on the first and 2nd frets on the g and b strings now, and my fingers are much stronger than they were before. so it's probably warped somewhat, but not that i can see just looking at it. i'm gonna take it to a pro soon to look at it, the bridge needs work anyway. by the way, how much do pros usually charge to set it up?

Baa I'm A Sheep · by **Baa I'm A Sheep** on Wed Oct 24, 2007 9:52 am

not too sure how much it is to get it fixed but a warped neck would probably be quite expensive(if even possible).what are you planning to get done to the bridge?

kidsthesedays · by **kidsthesedays** on Wed Oct 24, 2007 10:04 am

i dunno. probably i could do it myself, but i'm not sure. the high e just slips out of it's place on the bridge, so my bet is that the groove just needs to be deepened. i'm not sure though, and it's actually my dads guitar so he'll probably pay for it (and told me not to do it myself lol).

but over the summer i'm gonna try and build my own guitar, so that will force me to learn to do all this stuff myself. the guitar will probably be a disaster, but who knows. my dad owned a furniture repair business for 15 years, so that at least covers the wood working part of it for me.

lol i tried to make a guitar once..........poor poor guitar.hope yours turns out better lol

kidsthesedays · by **kidsthesedays** on Wed Oct 24, 2007 10:07 am

haha yea. i dont expect it to turn out well. but somethin to do over the summer, and hopefully i'll learn a lot from it. and i should know whether or not it's gonna suck before i spend too much money...i doubt i'll get past buying the wood.

I play Bass, Electric Guitar, and I mess around with drums and a banjo.

I've been playing bass for almost 4 years, I own a Fender P-Bass and a Fender J-Bass, also a strater Ibanez bass.

I've played guitar for a little over a year. I own some kind of Epiphone. Not sure what kind it is, but it looks like some kind of Fender knock off. Judging by the neck I'd say it's at least 15 - 20 years old.

Baa I'm A Sheep · by **Baa I'm A Sheep** on Wed Oct 24, 2007 10:09 am

lol when i tried making one i just sort of salvaged parts from an old bogey guitar,kinda glad i didnt spend much money,was a bit of a disaster

What kind of amps to you cats use?

I use a Fender Rumble 100 for my bass and a Gibson amp for the mid 50's for my guitar.

kidsthesedays · by **kidsthesedays** on Wed Oct 24, 2007 10:29 am

i dont

i own a spider III.

thus, i do not use an amp.

yea...the gc people tricked me into getting it when i was a noob.

BUT. christmas i'm gonna try and get a tube. still researching right now.

Baa I'm A Sheep · by **Baa I'm A Sheep** on Wed Oct 24, 2007 10:29 am

lol at the moment i have no amp

last one kinda blew up but im planning to buy a marshall MG100D

Aqua Dementia · by **Aqua Dementia** on Wed Oct 24, 2007 10:32 am

I thought a Spider 3 was an amp..

Eh.

kidsthesedays · by **kidsthesedays** on Wed Oct 24, 2007 10:33 am

it is, just the crappiest sounding amp ever, so i just don't use it. it's embarrassing, really.

Aqua Dementia · by **Aqua Dementia** on Wed Oct 24, 2007 10:54 am

Oh ok. I see. This explains the Spyder bashing on UG.

kidsthesedays · by **kidsthesedays** on Wed Oct 24, 2007 11:01 am

yea. it's one of the few things on ug perpetually bashed that i can actually 100% agree with.

Aqua Dementia · by **Aqua Dementia** on Wed Oct 24, 2007 11:07 am

What about FoB?

Baa I'm A Sheep · by **Baa I'm A Sheep** on Wed Oct 24, 2007 11:13 am

fall out boy?i hope its fall out boy cos i really really hate fall out boy

kidsthesedays · by **kidsthesedays** on Wed Oct 24, 2007 11:16 am

yea i pretty much hate them too. most bands with the word boy in them i hate. i can't think of any i don't. but i can't support the bashing of people that do like them, because most people think the music i listen to is crap as well.
