Just seeing if there is anybody in the northeast Missouri area that would want to get together an jam. I am in a little town called la plata, mo

I live in Moberly, about 30 miles north of Columbia. A jam would be fun! Do you have a car?

Sorry it took a while to get back. Yeah I have a vehicle, moberly is a ways but might be able to work something out. Do u play in a band or anything?

Not a legit "band," but I do play in my college's traveling worship team.

Yourself?

rook3207 · 02-01-2012, 08:45 PM

Just the worship team. I am looking to get into a band but nothing has happened yet.

It's hard to happen in smaller towns from what I've noticed. If you were in, say, Columbia, you'd find people pretty quick. (I've actually come to develop a strong liking for Columbia, and would like to live there someday).

PS: I just checked a route from La Plata to Moberly.. Doesn't seem too far, just under an hour's drive. Maybe sometime if you make it down here, I can do a return trip up there for a second jam.

American Strat. Very nice! Here's a few pics of my gear.

rook3207 · 02-05-2012, 01:27 PM

I was trying to figure out how to post a pic. Took two tries. Lol. Yeah, I just picked up the strat. I throw some pics up as well.

Here is what I am rockin. Jackson electric, ovation celebrity acoustic, 01 fender lone star strat, peavey c30, with celestion greenback and jj tubes and one tung-sol tube.

Mmmmm, I really like your Jackson and Boss ME50. I recall you were looking for a band. I'm not sure what you're into, but there's a Christian metal band starting in Macon. A kid named Matt asked me if I wanted to join, but I'm just not as much into metal as I used to be (hence why I ditched the Crates for a Kustom).

rook3207 · 02-05-2012, 09:01 PM

Thanks, the Jackson is kinda a lower end model but is pretty well rounded. The boss is taking me awhile to get. So many settings and I am not at all familiar with pedals. And the macon group, well that depends on how heavy they want to get. I am more contemporary I guess. Chris tomlin, Lincoln, hillsong, newsboys, stuff like that. But I will try to get some time and come down and play.

rook3207 · 02-05-2012, 09:06 PM

Looks like u have a pretty nice setup as well. Never seen those pedals before, and ditto on the Jackson and sg is always a nice choice. Whose signatures do u have on that?

Ben Toast · 02-05-2012, 09:17 PM

I love Jackson guitars. I've thought about getting a better one, but I'm so broke I can't even afford gas to Columbia right now.
Processing pedals rock, but I want to start building a board.

On the SG I have Skillet, August Burns Red, The Letter Black, Fireflight, Manic Drive, Mychildren Mybride, and The Great Transparency.

And yeah, that's why I'm turning down his band offer. I'm not into playing metal as much as I used to be. I'm more into being a part of a worship/contemporary group now.
