Shocking Revelation

[bovinehost]

I think I want a guitar.

You know, one of those six-string things over there on the dark side of the forum.

 

[tbonesullivan]

Yeah, I have some of those. They make the basses look better.

 

[Golem]

You'll get over it. Makes your fingers hurt.

 

[Fro]

About time

 

[danny-79]

Nothing wrong with having a few guitars in your collection, I’ve got a few. Nothing from over that way though

I heard Ernie Ball is building great ones.

Oooohhhhh. That’s nasty. Tell me more!

 

[bovinehost]

Oooohhhhh. That’s nasty. Tell me more!

Yeah, you funny. YOU ALREADY KNOW.

I really want an Albert Lee with two buckers and a rosewood board so I can finally throw this nasty old Strat in the trash.

Hah!

I say, just do it! I have a skinny stringed slab of wood here and I find it is a) fun and b) helps me on the bass side of music. It's fun to explore chords both vertically and horizontally up and down the board. I find this is helping my versatility and angility on the bass, in a way of being a better quarterback to the band.

Does this make any sense? If so, go ahead! Skinny strings can be kind of cute ... well, you know what I mean (I hope).

I have to keep a guitar or two around for writing - and I have a busy little home studio and am often pressed into service on guitar(s), not because I'm particularly good at it but more because there's no one else around to do it.

So I have a couple of F*nders (a Tele and a Strat) that have served me well. And because I'm not REALLY a guitar player, I have hesitated to spend good bass money on anything really nice. (I built the Tele myself and the Strat is a MIM, which is fine.) But I really want a Music Man guitar. It's time. I'm worth it, right?

strap the trousers on

 

[tbonesullivan]

DOO EETT. Lots of great options. And if you can't choose, the Steve Morse itself has lots of options, so it's almost like not choosing just one guitar.

I'm pretty sure I have some of those around here somewhere.

I think it will be nice to have the full Albert Lee compliment!

I know that violating feeling all too well !
Got a strat and a tele also. They know their place in the food chain accessories

Find one of the GC specials ( look for the chrome tele knobs...). They have the extra coil split option, which IS worth having, and that's the only gittar you'll need...trust me. ..

That's not a bad price for that finish & condition. There are a few more listed right now, but if you're patient, you can get a better deal....

I know a guy who can get you one of those!

Seriously? Is he nice?

 

[Fro]

I consider myself nice. I’m not sure everyone agrees

I bought an Albert Lee HH (see my sig) a while back and it is beautiful. That rosewood neck is just stunning. The clarity on the humbuckers is a shock....I love it...the guitar itself is quite a low mid kicker...which is what I wanted. Not flubby, not too much bass (leave that to bass!) and plenty of clarity.

The pickups go from clean to breakup to full on grind with no problems.

I picked up a Stingray before the RS models when the UK had a large sale on the older stock, and yet again I was really really pleased. The black and chrome is classic Musicman. The quality is superb.

If I were you, get an Albert Lee HH.

Next, I want a St Vincent.

I really like the look of that new Mariposa guitar they just announced.
