I like the color.

There's only three guitars one should ever buy.

A tele.

A *Gibson* Les Paul.

Or any type of Grestch.




And maybe a Jaguar if you have pussy little hands like me.


Fact.

A Strat is a staple. I don't like the feel of Teles, although the sound is great.

You've never played a G&L ASAT.

If I had to buy another guitar, I'd definitely buy a Tele. The only thing I want to do is find one with a humbucker (EMG-81) in the bridge and a single coil (EMG-FT) in the neck.

EDIT:
OMG. And definitely a blue quilt body too.

I used to hate them, as with all non-Les Paul single cut guitars (and every single cut bass). Now, not so much. They've been growing on me in terms of sound and playability, and the body is a bit more funky than a Strat.

they play and sound nice, but they look vile. they look a bit better to me when they're pimped with massive humbuckers and stuff (heresy i know), but still ugly.

A la Jim Root (Slipknot)

I prefer a bridge humbucker for guitar myself. I do like the look of a single in the neck, though...at least on a Telecaster.

It's mostly the body, actually. I don't like the lack of contours on a Telecaster. I like the Strat body and neck. Very slim and fast, much like my bass, except for being half as wide.

Disagree!

Haha.

Totally saw the Cherry Poppin' Daddies last night. I hope it's not another 10 years before they come back again. Shit went offfff.

Dude, that's old school. They sounded good? What was the set list?

[quote=gaslight;18472043]Disagree!

Lol I know, I'm talking out my ass, but IF IT WAS ME, I wouldn't buy any other guitar.

Sounded pretty fantastic, it was the best venue in town of that size. Always sounds good.

Hmm, don't remember all of it, but in no particular order they definitely played Dr. Bones, Master and Slave, Brown Derby Jump, Zoot Suit Riot, Ding Dong Daddy, When I Change Your Mind, Cherry Poppin' Daddy Strut, Hi and Lo, Drunk Daddy and Skaboy JFK. They did some other ska stuff and a few rockier tracks that I've heard before but don't really "know". I'm sure they're safely tucked away in my discography somewhere.

You sound like you work in a recording studio. :p Your wall would probably also consist of a P-bass, Jazz bass, and *maybe* a Rickenbacker. The aforementioned arsenal is damn versatile and will cover 90% of your needs.

You can get a lot of use out of Fenders.

I've never owned one though, I never will unless I end up with more money than I know what to do with and burn it away on frivolous instrument acquisitions.

I've never really been a Fender guy, but I LOVE the precision I own now that I own one. Even if it isn't a Fender. Just makes me sad that my main bass doesn't sound like it :(

Might join the gym again, I've put some right weight on :/

What is it exactly?

I'm starting to entertain the notion of picking up a 5, gentlemen.

It's a Shuker JJ Burnel signature precision. With a couple of small changes.

5s are excellent. Depending on the setting, obvs.

About damn time. Fatty and I have three 5-strings worth of strings between our two basses.

So, presuming they are a small enough operation to only facilitate one location, I just found out that Genz-Benz is located about 12 miles from my house. I wonder if I can take a day off work and go check it out sometime...

You could steal some of those shuttles and put them in your pockets, then mail me one?

I'm thinking of getting a five. I barely touch my 6 but I can see a five being handy.

OMG yeah, and pair it with one of their 4x12 cabs, which I'd have to come back for that night.

Why don't you play your six. It sounds like you clearly don't crave the low B enough to go pick it up and play it, so how would a 5 be any different? Also, which 6 do you have?

I have an Ibanez SR706.

I've enjoyed playing it in jams but I never actually need the C string for any of the gigs or teaching I do. I've gotten involved in a new covers band starting soonish so I'm not sure if a low B will be in that yet, if it will be required and the pay is good enough I'll probably look at picking one up just so I can have the B without a C string I don't want in the way.

Also I'm genuinely attracted to this Ibanez SR4505E and any excuse to buy it will probably see it on its way to me. It's a sexy blonde.

I haven't touched a non-BTB Ibanez in quite some time. How's it play?
