Greet from Indonesia

Hey guys, I'm new here. Just found this site when I'm looking for Jack White's gear. And now I'm addicted to this site! I'm Tyo 22 y/o bass player from Indonesia. Nice to meet you all!

P.s. sorry for my bad english

P.s. again: any Indonesian here?

Welcome to the site dude, hope you enjoy it. I'm a guitarist from England

England huh? Cool! I'm listening to all your stuff. Beatles, Stones, Sex Pistols, Zeppelin, The Smiths, Stone Roses, Oasis, The Verve, James Bay, and the list goes on

Welcome! English music is the best music :-D

I'm one of the Equipboard admins. Originally from Italy, but currently living in Austin, Texas where Equipboard is based!

How Kimosave

Italy huh? I'm a fan of your food and Serie-A. I'm listening to some of your music too, Pavarotti, Ramazzotti, Paolo Belli, Moda

What does this mean? Sorry I don't know slang too much hehehe

you're actually Italian, as in you were born in Italy? Go fucking figure.

I guess I should reply even though Tyohars has spoken to me extensively in 'guitar and bass'' already. I'm from Philadelphia, born and raised with some detours in other states. I am glad to be home in Philly again and don't plan to leave. We're kind've a trashy, rotten city.... but unlike everywhere else in the USA we don't pretend to be anything else. My 2 year old son was born in Maryland right outside Washington DC before I got sick of it there and came home, but in his heart he's from the island of Sodor.

So welcome Tyo. Don't worry about your English, there are a lot of people who speak English as their 1st language who are more difficult to understand than you are.

Seems nice to live there! Hometown of John (of Hall & Oates) and Jaco Pastorius right? Sadly, most of people here, in Jakarta pretending to be someone else :(

Yup... we have the dubious honor of being the hometown of John Oates, Gamble & Huff (philly international), Todd Rundgren, Jaco Pastorius and the birthplace of Joan Jett... not to mention being the original taping location for American Bandstand (the rhythm guitarist in one of my bands was the son of a popular Bandstand dancer from the 50s who had a small-scale singing career after his stint on bandstand in the Frankie Valli mould)... we also had the original location of Sigma Sound Studios where I applied for a job as a very young man but didn't get hired because they were secretly going out of business. That ties into Bowie's demise since Sigma is where he did most of "Young Americans" with the mighty Carlos Alomar on guitar as well as a young Luther Vandross singing on his first professional sessions.

What does this mean? Sorry I don't know slang too much hehehe

It was a joke derived of your native land sounding close to the word Indian, a phrase used by Westerners to refer to the native peoples of North America as well as a phrase from a popular TV series titled, "The Long Ranger", that the Indian sidekick would say. "How" was a term that Americans were told meant Hello in... some.... Indian language. No one really knows. Kemosabe was what the Indian sidekick would use as a term of endearment towards the Lone Ranger.

"How", was also used as a pun in the animated film "An American Tail: Fievel Goes West". "HOW.... do you DO!?"

Cool man, you must be so proud of your hometown. The only good thing in my hometown is just a regular gig of great Indonesian bluesman (I recommended you to listen to Rama Satria Claproth for this). Also I met with Andy Tielman long time ago (when I was a kid). He is Indonesian with Netherlands citizen, even not from Jakarta.

Hahaha, I know many foreigner confuse us with Indian. But we're a country where The Tielman Brothers originally come from and a country with Bali, arguably one of pieces heaven on earth not so long time ago hehehe
