    heh heh, I had a Roland MC-505 (well before I got my MPC) - wrote some cool little tunes, think my mum has a Boss 303 (she prob has more gear than me!)

    You're right, Jeremy doesn't sound that good, but Alive sounded great, with my Strat doing the rhythm and the Les Paul lead bits.

    I'll second that !!

    Good times

    I have a Mexican strat circa about 2003, want a Les Paul as well, also got an Epiphone semi and some cheap old bass I bought from cash converters.

    Recently purchased guitar rig4 (plug the guitar in through an M-Audio USD interface) which is quite possible one of the best things I have ever bought

    Going through a bit of an Aerosmith phase at the moment, learning a few classics and want to have a go on some Joe Perry slide a la 'Draw the Line'

    I use it as a practice guitar I just don't take it to the gigs.

    Son now has my Fender knockoff and I've got my old bowl back Mandolin still kicking around but not played either in a long time.

    I have

    1. Ricky 330, black.

    2. Epiphone Dot (ES-335 copy)

    I have had;

    1. Fender Squier - ok...

    2. Ricky 360-12, 1973 in Burgundy with Rick-O-Sound - stolen - bastards.

    3. Roland GR-707 and GR-303 guitar synths with Strat guitar with rs-232 interface lead - honest. Sold to one Paul weller c 1982 who's never played it AFAIK...

    4. Kay Les Paul copy - scraping the barrel now..

    5. Eko acoustic 12 string with a 4" action on the seventh fret.

    My Son bought a Les Paul copy from a chinese copy called Tradetang, I feared the worst since I was paying - but it's fantastic! Best I played and my bro (who is in a band) has 'real' Gibson's galore, I've played his tulipty Explorer and SG from 1983...

    have a google - they do Gretsch's too - and 12 string Ricky's - all badged up and play better than any originals I've played, well, older originals, like 70/80's - admittedly not the best decades for US guitars...
