Allow me to introduce myself... I was born, raised, and currently live in The Bronx, NY. I've played in many bands since I was a teenager and recently took some time off to focus more on my other interests, building Hot Rods and Filmmaking. I own a couple of Mosrite guitars. (I think I did ok).

Welcome Brian!

Tell us a bit about your guitars, your cars (some of us are enthusiasts as well) and films. A regular renaissance man, huh?

Welcome to the forum, Brian. Glad to have you join us.

I've got a '66 Ventures II (it's the earlier Mark V I'm assuming since it reads Ventures Model II on the head), I've got a black "Excellent" model, I changed out the neck plate for one with no logo, put a Vibramute on it, changed out the knobs and tuners. Pretty much pulled everything off that was different from an original '65. I've got one of those "Johnny Ramone" Slab body reissues (it says Mosrite and Ventures on it, so I believe it's from Japan). The price was too good to pass up. And I've got something else up my sleeve that I don;t want to let out of the bag just yet.

Cars... I've been building Hot Rods for over ten years now (I'm still young). Right now I've finally decided to turn some business away and focus on finishing up my own car. It's a '32 Ford (Five Window Coupe) built in a late forties style, highboy with a pinched in front end (giving it sort of a Bonneville Race Look), quick change rear, un-dropped '32 Heavy axle... This list goes on...

Let's see, films... Last year I shot a documentary called "The Road to Bonneville," the first half of the movie follows The Rolling Bones from NY to Bonneville in their '32 Coupes, then the second half follows them racing their '32 roadster during speed week. (If you check the link in my signature, you can watch the trailer on the site.) Right now I'm currently editing my second Hot Rod Documentary due out in early '09.

I think I answered everything?

Yeah but I'm dying to know what's up your sleeve.
C'mon you can tell us ... we're all friends here.

Welcome Brian! You can start off getting your feet wet by checking out our
"CARS and GUITARS" Thread in the "OFF TOPIC."......
P.S. "It Needs a BOOST!!!!"

Texas Bob from Vegas (by way of Teaxs)! Yeah I've got a couple of Mosrite guitars, but as far as basses go I've only got a Fender,
