Hi All,
I've been browsing the classifieds for awhile and decided it was time to join! I'm a metal head originally from NZ now in the UK. I've mellowed a bit with age. I now find myself equally enamored with what I used to call old man guitars (teles, strats) as I am with super-strat, headless, 7/8 string monstrosities
Case in point;
Q1: Where did you username come from?
My name is Mark, but I'm from NZ so it sounds more like Maak when I say it
Q2: Where in the world/country are you?
I'm in London, UK
Q3: What's your main musical ambition?
I'd love to know enough theory to be able to do improv solo
Q4: Your "best" bit of gear - just the one?
My DIY rat, which I almost never use. But I built it myself (including the custom etching) so I would be very sad if it went missing;
Q5: Your #1 ever track - again, just the one?
Holy Diver - DIO

So - thank you @Mellish !!
2) Lincolnshire (at the moment; I've lived all over).
3) Continue to record/release noisy rock and roll even though I'm too old!
4) Best bit of gear at the moment is Traynor TS25 head (converted from combo). Sounds bonkers through 1960 cab.
5) Let's go for biggest influence on my playing: Dragoon by Bitch Magnet.

1) My actual name is Miles... And when I was younger, I was a (mediocre) climber. On my first ever winter climb (in Scotland) we got hit by a small avalanche and fell a couple of hundred feet back down the gulley we'd been climbing. Somehow we all escaped injury,and as we picked ourselves up, someone said "I think we got a few airmiles points there...."
2) Originally from Leicester, now living in Twickenham
3) Having only started playing in my 50s (pre-Covid!) My ambitions are simply to get good enough to fit in in jams and enjoy the social side of music.
4) Tough one.... but as my Barefaced Upsetter cab is glorious and the one thing I have that has nothing I'd change... I'll go with that

Eliminating counterfeit items from the listing sections is the job of the Moderation team but, by their own admission, they do not always spot every occurrence.
I simply gave 'em a nudge.
I shall leave it to you to imagine what sort of person could possibly object to deletion for breach of the No Fakes policy.
Hi all. I’m Andy. Been playing 34 years but never been on a guitar Forum before so apologies if I’ve bumped a load of old threads. I’ve just been searching for posts about kit that I own and sticking my oar in.
Q1: Where did you username come from?
It’s my name and initials
Q2: Where in the world/country are you?
Cheltenham, Glos
Q3: What's your main musical ambition?
To be bigger than the Beatles - just kidding. Getting through a gig without breaking a string, forgetting what I’m playing or dropping a guitar is enough for me.
Q4: Your "best" bit of gear - just the one?
Hard to say. US Strat combined with ML Deville is nice. Gretsch Broadkaster that rarely comes out ofit’s case. I tend to take the cheaper stuff gigging because catching your headstock on the edge of a cymbal on a small stage is quite unforgiving lol.
Q5: Your #1 ever track - again, just the one?
Do it again by steely Dan. It used to give me goosebumps as a kid because I thought it was creepy. There’s so many great tunes, but if I had to pick one this song always springs to mind.
Here at TFB you'll find a load of stuff. Feel free to add your own thoughts and start your own threads.

Q1: Where did you username come from? - in my old job, a guy I worked with used to think I was too ladylike to be doing the job, so used to call me Ladysmith - taken from my surname.
Q2: Where in the world/country are you? Kent, UK
Q3: What's your main musical ambition? to play along with someone for a full track with no errors.
Q4: Your "best" bit of gear - just the one? I really love my new airfryer
