    Just saw a beautiful H535 on the trading post (brentrocks none-the-less). P90s and semi hollow bodies make for some great great clean tones.

    My last name is German, so when people ask, I just say "German". But, I've I've got a bit of Italian, Irish, and Native American in me, too.

    How many of you guys try to identify with your heritage?

    Say you'll make a meal every once in a while or do something traditional etc.

    I know Kam drinks a lot so that's an Irish tradition. Any of you other guys do anything?

    I prefer the multicultural approach to eating. I like ethnic foods. Why stick to mine?

    To be serious for a minute, almost all of my ethnic and cultural identity / nostalgia / heritage is Virginian.

    I see myself as an American, but I see myself as equally Virginian.

    I guess that's gotten Virginia into some trouble in the past , but I really do see it that way.

    I know that another true Virginian and I will have shared experiences, knowledge, and perspectives.

    That is an ethnicity. And it is mine.

    Yeah, I agree too.

    To be fair, though, Irish food is pretty damn boring. Especially if you, like me, have a taste for spicier foods.

    Living in Ireland it's pretty hard not to identify with culture and heritage, I think. It's not like we have any grand traditions or anything. Especially if you're not religious. We're just all about having fun, sticking with your family, being loyal to your friends, eating, drinking to be merry and having the craic. It's not a complicated country.

    Oh, and hating the English. But that's pretty much a global thing anyway, right?

    That is so late 18th century. The hipster thing right now is to hate America.

    By the way, Andrew, I only have Tapatalk, a phone and the occasional free wifi hotspot to browse the forums. That makes searching them a huge pain in the ass, so I'll just ask here; did you get your new amp sorted yet, dude?

    It's hard to hate on America when I'm inside your borders.

    I'll wait until I get back home.

    It doesn't take much trying, for me. My parents divorced when I was pretty young, and my brother, Mom, and me, lived with my Grandparents for several years. I was simply raised to identify with it.

    It's like any country, I guess. It's easy to hate on a whole nation just because of reputations and history and the actions of a government but once you're actualy in the street with regular people living regular lives...you just can't help but love the place.
