About Me

Hi visitor ! You may ask yourself what you're about to see on my page.
Well, some pics and music and alot of information about me ^^
First of all I have to tell you my full name so people can identify me faster: Emanuel Tobias Baum. I was born in Innsbruck/Tirol in 1987
and moved to Bernstein/Burgenland at the age of 8. Back in those days I started to think about learning an instrument.
Unfortunately I hated to play the piano and stopped after a few months.
6 Years later, at the age of 14 I thought about how cool it must be to play the
electric guitar and so I got myself the first guitar of my life: A bad crafted Kapok Stratocaster copy (well, who doesn't start
that way ?). I didn't even think about taking lessons, I just tried to learn the basics on my own.
Half a year later I realized that I'm never gonna be playing in a band that way and so I took lessons.
Today I see myself as an advanced player that knows stuff like "pinch harmonics", "tapping", "arpeggios" and
"sweep picking". I'm not a professional player and most of the time I just keep improvising.
Today's equipment:
Guitars:
Kapok Strat (I just couldn't sell my first guitar)
Epiphone Les Paul Special II
Career CG14 PRS Copy with Tokai Love Rock Humbuckers
Suzuki Les Paul Custom made in Japan 30 years ago
Aria FET-STD
Jackson Randy Rhoads 3 made in 1996 (Japan)
Vester VDN 12-string
Ibanez RG320 LTD MIJ 2002
Career Semiacoustic Les Paul
Bass:
Career CB 924
Yamaha BB G5
Amp:
Hughes&Kettner Matrix 100
Variac 2x12 Box
Effectpedals:
Zoom 505 II
DigiTech Valve RP7
Marshall Jackhammer
Ibanez Chorus
Ibanez Fuzz
Ibanez Powerlead
Zoom 607 Bass
I'm not a conventional ampplayer because prices are way to high and I just keep spending money on guitars.
So I have to use my stereo system which sounds realy good. I never heard such a rich tone coming from a
conventional amp.
*UPDATE* Got my Hughes&Kettner Matrix 100 Top with
a 2x12 Variac Box!
