I sang and played harp in a garage band as a teenager and later played lap steel in a folksy type band. As for guitars I got a couple of old danos and a kawai which are patiently teaching me how to play them. thanks! Welcome aboard! — This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got.

SurfAgeDaydream Joined: Jun 30, 2023 Posts: 17	Posted on Jul 06 2023 09:39 AM Hello all, I'm Richard, late 40s, guitar player (Fender Mustang's but would love a Jaguar too). I also like synths and electronic music, garage-rock, psychedelia, soul, funk, krautrock...etc etc. But I love surf music too. There's something that draws me to it and I regularly get really into it until I make myself sick of it and have to have a break! Mainly a 1st wave fan, but started to explore later waves. The Continental Magazine's been great to catch up with the current stuff. Top
HeroSandwich Joined: Jul 05, 2023 Posts: 32 Sherbrooke, QC	Posted on Jul 06 2023 02:36 PM Hi All, I started playing guitar when I was 13 and now in my 50's, I'm still not sure what I'm doing. Got into it for the hair spray and boots. Traded my boots for flip flops in my 20's and worked as a SCUBA instructor in the Bahamas, playing the clubs at night covering everything from classic rock to reggae. Now I have Crocs and Vans, and spent the last few years supporting a French Canadian folk singer with her projects. So it's been a mixed bag of experience, styles, and footwear... no longer have any hair, so the spray is long gone. I've been a huge fan of instrumental music for years, and only just starting to deep dive the surf genre in the last few. It's such a pure and refreshing sound. Got more focused on custom painting guitars during the pandemic... metal flake everywhere, my wife isn't thrilled. Retirement plan is to sell all the gear I no longer use, and buy a small country somewhere. Thanks for having me! Top

circuitspore Joined: Sep 13, 2023 Posts: 7 Raleigh, NC	Posted on Sep 14 2023 06:03 PM Hello everyone. My dad is a huge Ventures fan and got me in to surf when I started playing bass and guitar in the 90's as a teenager. We still get together now and then to play some covers and originals. I'm hoping to record some of those original instrumentals with him and I joined to ask some gear questions related to recording. Outside of surf music, I play in a post punk band called Tiger Knives. And I'm a big fan of Fender Japan instruments. Hoping to find a Ventures Jazz Bass to play alongside my dad's Ventures Strat. — WTB: Fender Ventures Jazz Bass Let me know if you have one for sale!

On that album it was a hodge-podge of various settings over time, but for the most part I was using a DOD250 clone for dirt, and using various guitar amp models in Garageband. Everything was played on my 1986 Fender Performer Bass. — WTB: Fender Ventures Jazz Bass Let me know if you have one for sale! Top

As well as Continental Magazine, there is Pipeline Magazine, based in the UK: http://www.pipelinemag.co.uk It's more Shadow's focussed than surf, but it's a good, positive magazine. — http://thewaterboarders.bandcamp.com/ Top

I consider myself a rock musician not necessarily surf guitar - but I enjoy it, I just don't claim to be an expert. I also make and refurbish guitars and that stuff is all here if that interests you.
