Default So...you all like your guitars and I hear people saying they gig

What kind of bands do you all gig in?

I guess I'm curious cos I play a lot of the UK toilet circuit in an Alt/rock combo and I encounter a lot of winsome indie bands with rubbish or mistreated equipment along the way. So what do you guys all do. Covers/Tribute acts/Blues/ Metal etc etc.

pray tell

I play rock covers in pubs, but also like playing blues and old school metal too.

Covers (mainly easy going rock of 70s/80s/90s) 2-3 times a year

Gypsy Jazz - 4 piece once or twice a month

Jazz - (American Songbook stuff) weekly scratch band in a workshop setting

Would like the time, band and venue for some straight Blues.

In this context, how are we defining "mistreated" equipment?

Theres a few gigging musicians that have ued the same guitar and amp for about 30+ years in these parts, so they're understandably not factory fresh, but they still make a lot of good noises
