Heys guys, How's life? well, I'm Valenite, Or Steph(en). I've been playing guitar for about a year and six months now, and it's amazing. I have a black, 2000 model Squier Bullet that I've gotten a black pick guard for and some Dimebag Darrel strings , the light heavy set, i believe, and a Clone of a Gibson SG that i got for this last Christmas. That's the electric side of the family. I also have an old Seagull Acoustic that needs fixing up, Basically, i was younger and neglected it, and now it needs strings, bridge pins and tuners. I plan on putting Grovers back on it since that's what came off. In addition to that, a buddy of mine gave me an old First Act acoustic that suffers from a few "hollow" frets. for example the most annoying one is on the 3rd fret of the high E. used in G chords =[ and we all know how common a G chord is. That's why I really want to get the Seagull fixed up Asap.
Heading back to the Electric side, I'm running an old Peavey Rage 158, which I really need to replace. I've got my eyes set on a Fender Frontman 65 for the time being. But if anyone else has an idea for a good combo amp in the 30-75W range, suggest it. And that's just the gear...
More about me. I'm 19, graduating from high school in June. I plan on going to school to pursue a music career, and hopefully end up with a recording company or something around that area. My ultimate dream would be one that most guitarist or any other musician has. That's right; Get signed, and tour. I'm in the process of getting a band together, but it's really hard. We've got Two guitarists(including myself) and a bassist, for now. Drums and Vocals are in dire need.
As for music preference, I like a lot. but the older it is, the pickier i am.
My favorite genre of them all would be Metalcore. aka Bullet For My Valentine, Atreyu, Killswitch Engage, Avenged Sevenfold. ^^ Yum.
but that's pretty much me... lol.
Thanks,
~V :note2:
