I am wondering if there are any other musicians on these forums - if so what do you play? Do you write / record music? What got you into playing music? What is your gear?

I play bass guitar, guitar,synth and function as the audio engineer for my band.

It was Nirvana and Much Music (Canadian MTV) that got me into music - though I moved on from that influence early on after starting to learn how to play. I started on bass guitar at 13 and playing guitar at around 22 (I am 31 now) - when we play live I function as the bass player and in the studio I remain multi-instrumental focusing on support parts.

My main gear is:

'97 Fender Precision Lyte Deluxe
Ampeg Micro-VR with DI
Ampeg V6B
Presonus Studiolive 16.4.2 running through Logic X

It's a slowly dying art, these days, unfortunately.

Great to see so many musicians out there. Nice looking equipment Brix and Zen. I've been doing it for a bit myself. Mostly with my 89 PRS. I also have a tele for classic single coil tones.

I played in 5 area bands, from 50's to Metal. I've done some writing in that time. This was my first composition back in 83 when I was a junior in HS done up with some help from my friends. Rocker. https://soundcloud.com/grant-s/rkr-4-19-mp3
And the most recent that I played and used virtual instruments on my midi guitar and keyboard. These Autumn leaves.
