i have said it before and I will say it again. The epiphone dot is the best guitar under (au)$1300 you will ever find. they sound almost EXACTLY like a 335, and are a third of the cost

So it seems we can post Equipment pictures. Here are the loves of my current life.



Funky view of my electric. Yes, those are holes in it.



This is so you can actually see the colour.



And my beloved Acoustic. Inherited, I think it's an early 20th/late 19th century remake of a much older violin. It's got "Nicolaus Amatus fecit in Cremona 1685" on the inside, but I really doubt it's that old.

Labyrinth, I think it should be forbidden for you to show that absolutely sublime purple electric violin on the Escapist anymore.....It makes me think of my lack of electric cello..............

That's very cool, though, the picture of your acoustic violin. You know what this means, however.....Don't you?

You may have a purple violin, but I've got a red cello. As I've stated in other threads, it's a baby cello that's only a year and a half old.

..............And my absolutely wonderful bow from Paris.....Quite a bit older than the cello.....

What Would Bowie Do
Get old and disappear?
WWJD is more what you should be asking. Not jesus though. John as in Lenon.
Heh. Lennon's fine too. No need to get territorial. I would, however, like you to read this excerpt from Allmusic.com:

Even when he was out of fashion in the '80s and '90s, it was clear that Bowie was one of the most influential musicians in rock, for better and for worse. Each one of his phases in the '70s sparked a number of subgenres, including punk, new wave, goth rock, the new romantics, and electronica. Few rockers ever had such lasting impact.

My amp isn't worth showing, it's a cruddy little Behringer practice bass amp. Nothing special about it. When I was buying my bass I spent almost all my budget on the guitar, got the amp because it was cheap.


Whenever I finally get around to taking electric guitar lessons (Which at the moment I'm too damn busy for) I'll probably be getting one of these as a relatively cheap starter guitar.

I've only done some vocal arranging for a college a cappella group - and man, is it tough. I've forgotten everything I ever learned about music theory, so having to come up with harmony parts by listening to them one by one and adjusting the chords that seem out of place takes forever. Not to mention that I have unrealistic expectations for singers :p

As far as software goes, Sibelius is pimpin' but I am actually faster with Noteworthy Composer, awful as it is.

oh man, i love a cappella stuff. I too have tried arranging. a tip i use? find midi files of the songs you want and open them up in Finale (which incidentally i swear by). It will let you see what chords need to be made where, as well as a clear and defined vocal harmony. from there aranging is easier

That's some win equipment you have there. What this means? Why, we must play Metal together.

Hurray! I'm not the only brass player here. My instrument (weapon?) of choice is the euphonium, which is basically a smaller version of a tuba with a higher pitch.
