I live in the L.A. area, am in my mid forties and my gear is way better than my ability to play it.
I play a G&L ASAT Classic
a Schecter Classic and
a 74 hardtail strat.
through a Fender Hot Rod Deville 2x12 and
a Budda Superdrive 30 I also have an old 70's princeton laying around
And I just bought a Roger linn Adrenalinn which is way cool
also have keyboards and a drum kit
I don't know shit but I can make a lot of noise.
