Hey it's great to be part of this forum.

I am a long time musician who wishes there was more time to do what I love.

I play a few different instruments, but started as a drummer at a young age, and I sing and play guitar, bass and a little keyboards.

I have some pretty decent equipment and sometimes feel like I need to sell it since I can't get to use it enough...but I haven't been able to bring myself to do so yet.

My main equipment is a Gibson Les Paul Vintage Mahogany Faded Cherry, an Epiphone Dot Deluxe VS, and a Line 6 Spider Jam. I just subscribed to Guitarport.com and they give a free Toneport Gearbox interface for $30 including 3 months subscription. I highly recommend it, it's awesome!

I also have a Roland VS1824CD and some assorted Behringer mixers and pa and compressor, and a Behringer B2 Pro Condenser Mic.

I have an Alesis Fusion 8HD.

So many toys so little time....oh well. I am playing in a band with some friends doing mostly Classic Rock. I mainly sing and will add some guitar backing later.

I am eventually looking to play out and get a couple of gigs myself with backing tracks, so if anyone knows a good setup to do that I would love to hear about it.

Hey Rob, welcome to the forum!

Man, I wish I'd read your post last week: I just bought a used TonePort UX1 GearBox interface for $40--without the Guitarport.com subscription! (Serves me right for rushing.)

What kind of classic rock bands do you like? Who are your influences? My influential roots tend to delve into that soil as well.
