As you can see, all my gear is rack mount - live/studio) which was popular in the late 80's/through the nineties when I was piecing it all together over that span of time.

That Emerald green Ibanez is also that old, being one of the first Saber series and is my favorite guitar. Nothing feels as sleek and as fast, has great harmonic/tones which I appreciate primarily as a lead player.
Friend has a pretty nice setup. High end computer and laptop. He lives a couple houses down from Police's Andy Summers. That guy has an awesome man cave studio. All kinds of digital goodies.

Thanks! About 15 years on and off, there was probably a 5 year "dark period" in the middle when I was in school that I didn't keep it up as much

Sax is a cool instrument. Got to see Wayne Shorter a few times. Who's your favorite sax men?

I don't know how to play any musical instrument. It's actually one of my life goals to learn one. Maybe the piano or flute, someday.

Never too late to pick up any instrument. Relaxing, once you hit the right notes, most of the time.

Wish I had more time to air out the axes.

I play euphonium, trombone, and tuba. Started on euphonium back in 5th grade, switched to trombone in 7th (luckily I had enough grasp of the fingerings to remember everything over the years), and picked up tuba as a second instrument as a junior in HS. I played through college then took a break for a few years, and started up again about 6 months or so ago. I tried to learn to play guitar when I was younger, but apparently I'm not cool enough for that, so I decided to stick to brasswinds.
