    What instrument do you play? What kind of music do you make and what equipment do you have?

    I haven't played in a while but I've played the drums since an I was 12/13. Mainly rock music but I'd play anything from rock to dance to hip hop.

    The tin whistle has gotta be the most surprisingly difficult instrument.

    I play the guitar though not as well as I did when I was 14

    I used to play bass a bit, had a Fender Precision bass. Still think it is in the loft but it needed a lot of work.

    Got really into electronic music last year, got my set-up pretty much complete, but it is a bit of a rabbit-hole so bound to add to it. Went the hardware route so no computer or DAW.

    Critter and Guitari Organelle

    Korg Volca Bass

    Arturia Drumbrute

    Roland VT-3 (don't really use it for vocals but it is nice for adding textures to other instruments)

    Record and mix on a Tascam DP-24SD

    The Telecaster is on its way back to me after getting the Bender put in... That is surely going to be my favorite ... Mine is one of the Baja Teles, a bit mellower on the high end than a standard Tele and it has two extra out of phase sounds activated by pushing down on the volume knob ... Cool guitar!

    The doubleneck sounds great but weighs a ton, I almost never bother with it

    Nah, not really.
    I wish I had that setup but in reality:
    Fender Stratocaster (CBS ´68 model with fat headstock) - black body, white plate, mapleneck - a Japanese replica unfortunatly, sub-standard pickups
    Orange 30 watt valve-amp
    Marshall 4x12 cabinet

    By the way, even the Orange going through the Marshall is way too loud for home use, so I can only imagine what sound and volume the pros got back in the day....

    I like the sound from Orange amps, there was a studio in Chiswick which had them.

    I was torn between a replica of the one Hendrix used at Woodstock (off-cream-white, maple-neck, only standard right-handed) or the one I described above which was the Ritchie Blackmore model from early Deep Purple days...but I suspect the reason they retailed for less than $1,000 was the standard single-coil pickups...

    Either one is a nice looking strat ... An American version of either would be $1500 easy with the same pickups

    Single-coils are part of that classic strat sound!
