Finstah

['stah]

Ok, my name is Chris a.k.a the infamous Finstah. Grew up in Central Cali and moved back to Delaware in '02 with my fiance. Started driving my parents crazy with my playing the minute they bought me a Les Paul copy for Christmas '81 at the ripe ol' age of 12. I'm currently in a band with no name with 3 of my cousins but I get more done in my basement studio. My influences range from Randy, Yngwie, Vinnie Moore, Jimi, Nuno, Bach and SRV. 80's metal, Baroque, Ska, Reggae, Country and Punk. Oh yeah, LOVE 40's big band. I love music no matter the genre and enjoy playing anything (That goes for polka too Kim!  Ever punk up Lawrence Welk? What a rush! ) Haven't met anyone here although RDT and I lived a few miles apart and didn't know it but it would be way cool to put a face with a name for the other guys here. So here's a pic of me in my younger pre rocker days.

Alright enough blabbing. My gear consists of:

1984 Ibanez RS440 Roadstar II with EMG 81's
1989 BC Rich Assassin
1990 Jackson Soloist w SD's
2002 Jackson SL-1 w SD's
1989 Ovation Celebrity acoustic
Roland RS-50 keyboard
Mackie 1202 VLZ-Pro mixer
BBE 882i
MP-1 1.38 with noise, battery and jack mods
MP-1 3TM
Rocktron Xpression
JCM 800 with input stage mod (get's rid of the tinnyness) and 1960A mic'd with SM57
Hafler P1500 anbd Event 20/20's in the studio
Boss GE-7 and bunch of other s.h.i.t. that sits in the closet collecting dust.


One thing I'd like to add that I've rocked and chatted with some way cool peeps here. This site by far out rocks any other! True dat!

Thanks Jurrie for putting this site together, Kim for the Eve Ellis pics , to everyone kind enough to assist me with my rack issues, RobV and Wolfie for the ADA jams and Hairston for getting me into ADA gear.

Don't have much to offer at the moment but you can check my tunes at soundclick below or my web site at http://www.i-ronic.com

Marshall, maybe we can hit you up when we go to Amsterdam. How far are you from Jur?

SAN, looks like we'll be over there sometime around mid December. I'll keep you and Jurrie posted and let you know the exact date we can hook up.
