Hello From North Texas

Post by Kdmoo » Fri Oct 14, 2022 8:28 pm

Greetings,

Been lurking for a few months and decided to officially join the site. So much great content here!

About me, I spent years chasing the dream of getting my band signed to a major label. We built up a big local following, then a regional presence, toured a lot and nearly got signed a couple of times. Eventually we hit a wall of frustration and went our separate ways doing other things. Gave it our best shot anyways.

I love offsets and in my band years alternated between a 1969 Fender Jazz and a 1981 Precision. (Bassist by trade but also play guitar). Later during the band run I used a 1978 Musicman Stingray as well. A few years ago I picked up a MIM Jazzmaster and love the sounds I get out of it.

Looking forward to digging more into Offsetguitars.
Best,
Kevin

What part of north TX? There's a bunch of offset lovers floating around up here for sure, but it's Les Paul/Strat state (or it is every guitar show I go to!)

So much love for the basement of JJ's pizza in Denton. Best shows on the square!

I've been in both versions, and I must say that this current version is a lot nicer! ;D

Well I mostly was talking about the music that was happening there around then.

Can’t speak to what’s gone on there the last 15 years or so
