My old 3-piece opened for King's X once, probably one of the few times a bill had two bands, each with a lefty bassist playing a 12-string!

Leander, TX, NW of Austin. We're in the Sandy Creek area, between Leander and Jonestown.
Main project is Jul & The Chrome Wheels (Link Removed)
Secondary project (when the singer visits from Cali) is The Knowbodys (Link Removed)
I also work with a semi-acoustic small combo known as The Chix. Classic rock, and country (old-school and grassroots alternative...think Steve Earle and Kelly Willis, not Big & Rich). They trade off between myself and another bassist, since I have had a busy schedule with Chrome Wheels.
As you can tell, I'm working in mostly blues and classic rock, and alt/garage when the KB's are together. I love punk, and metal, etc., but I haven't played it with a band...I save that for my practice room, when I'm just having fun and stretching my skills.
I play a Waterstone Lulu, and also own an Avondale acoustic bass, an Ibanez GSR-190 and an Austin 5-string. I also own, and sometimes play, a mandolin, a piano, and a couple of guitars.
As for amplification, I have a Fender Rumbler 60w, and an SWR 2004 head with a Behringer 4x10 cab. I've also got a tiny little Crate practice amp, for at home.
Depending on how my day-job goes, I plan to take on more music work this fall.

Denton Tx, just North of Dallas and Fort Worth.
Playing in two classic/old rock bands, none gigging at the moment.
Way too many basses and a few too many amp for what I do!
well what the heck, most of my toys are here, lol

My drummer husband is from The Woodlands, right up the road from you. He takes me to Papa's every time we go to Houston...yes, either of them.

Denver City, TX. About an hour and a half south, south-west of Lubbock.
Recently moved back to Texas after three years in California.
Lots of gear, no gig. (Very little time for gigs, and from past experience, very few musicians in the area to gig with.)

Yeah...that's a bit far from Lubbock to be going to practice and play, and I'd imagine that's where most of the area's live music is, no?

The primary band I play in is Stag Film a sleazy little duo
Sometimes I do a jazzy little downbeat set that doesn't have a name
Tools I use is an 82 rick 4003 and an 88 wick fna
At the moment we are saving for a trailer so we can get out of town easier.

Corsicana here. An hour south of Dallas, hour east of Waco, 3 to Houston and two to Tyler. I'm kinda in the middle
Play in church only at the moment. Hey, the kids have to rock too, ya know? I also goof off with the Black Market Teddy Bears, doing Christian pop stuff.
Fender Steve Harris P (mostly modded) into whatever amp or cab I have on loan from Razor at the moment, with a '60's Bassman on tap also. Too many effects at any given moment, most of which I built or modded.
I seem to always have waayyy too many things going on at one time
