SEEKING
Background Singer, Rhythm Guitar, Vocalist.ABOUT
I am 31 years old and have been playing guitar since I was 15. Started out with acoustic for one year and picked up electric a year later. I primarily stick to rhythm guitar, mainly because I'm not very good at lead guitar. I feel I have a very good ear for riffs, and my guitar tone is modeled off of Dimebag Darrells Pantera tone (that buzz saw sound).
I also do vocals, whether it be singing, screaming, or snarling. I've mainly work my vocals to Pantera and Fear Factory, and also do a great Dave Mustain voice (been told that quite a bit from my previous band).
I presently work 2 jobs to support my family. I own my own home and my girlfriend doesn't have a problem when I have band practice. She knows this is what I want to do.

EQUIPMENT
Two Dean guitars, one a Mustaine custom and one Dimebag Dime'o'Flame custom.
An Ibanez 7 string. I also have a 6 but it needs new wiring.
A Jackson Randy Rhoads shaped guitar. The guy I bought it from did some customizing to it, including a Floyd Rose whammy system.
I still have my first guitar, which is a Jasmine 6 string acoustic.
A Boss ME-50 effects board for my guitar setup, which include a Behringer amp and a custom Dime practice amp. I use the dual amp setup because I can't the right tone I like from one amp.
Two Behringer PA speakers with stands and a Behringer 4 channel mixing board.
Two EV microphones with one mix stand. I had two stands, but I don't know what happened to the other. Easy replacement, though.
A Tascam 8 track digital recorder, and a multitude of 1/4 inch cables. Some don't work (need to weed those ones out).
