What is your weapon?

...it takes a lot more time to coordinate and sync up that many moving parts.

I think the term "herding cats" comes to mind!

No matter what I do, its all about the humbuckers for me. And I have considered harming myself every day since I had to sell my LP for food. Now I live every breath saving to buy it back, All my axes have bucker's but none compare to my beloved lost gibby!

 

[deeaa]

Buckers, yeah...at least bridge bucker I've been toying with an idea of getting an LP again too, but I just can't find good ones and they're too pricey. If I came across a chambered and pretty one super cheap I might go for it again.

 

[Sniffy]

Got to be my Epiphone LP custom, I put some new pups in it and changed nearly all the hardware! It may not be a gibson but I loves it!

 

[player]

Voted "Other" I keep re igniting my love for my Maton BB1200 every time I start playing it again. I think, at least for this week, semi-hollow's are really my thing.

same here with my strat coming in as a second fiddle as it were.go to is my semi Wildwood depending on the project at hand.I never count out any of the four guitars I have.

My Suhr Standard....chambered mahogany body & neck, quilted AAAAA top (fireburst) s-s-h config. single coil silencing system, tremol-no, coil tapped HB, blower switch. I get can a strat quack and a LP roar. Wish I could afford about 6 vintage guitars, but this covers most sounds I want to get. I know Robert uses a Suhr classic sometimes. They are just fine to the last detail

Certainly a great all around guitar that would be hard to beat. Further up the thread, Mark Wein is showing his number one that he uses for gigs.

A bit of a change-up for me now that I'm playing in the jazz-fusion band.

I now mostly play my Clement fretless. It's quite a treat to play all the tunes on fretless.

Cool. When did that happen? Is that your only active band right now?

And what would such a "Clement" thingy look like?

:AOK

 

[Eric]

Here's my guess:

Squint really hard.

Ah. So, a neck-through, P/J pups, Jazz body.

I'm guessing here.

All correct except the neck-through part.

Details are an ash body with spalted maple top, Nordstrand P/J pickups, Bartolini NMBT preamp, and Hipshot hardware.

I've probably written about this bass before. It's my go-to-my-grave-with-me bass.

Ah, those stripes on the body fooled me.

Now, we needs to see your bass, sir!

I posted about it a while ago. I quit The Mediocres because I was getting too bored playing two or three note songs. I could hardly stay awake for practices. Plus, it seemed that nobody was listening to me about song selection, arrangements, gigs, and other matters.

So, I found this new band called Portrait that does sort of jazz fusion - George Benson (way cool guitar stuff), Steely Dan, Chicago (way cool bass parts), and old Santana.

They really like my bass playing and it's a very positive band atmosphere where I have a lot of input on things like song arrangements.

We'll be going into the studio next month to record a demo and I'll share that when it's done. It's all done as instrumentals with the drummer's wife doing the vocal parts with a viola.

The guitarist, Wayne, is very good. He's a treat to listen to while I zing out my bass parts.

Torn between my Hell No2 and my Reverend Rick Vito. Both play amazingly well, both sound great clean and overdriven, the Hell really gets it when I want to play rockabilly or Texas-style blues, the Vito takes when I want more OD bite or for playing slide.

 

[Brian Krashpad]

A couple years ago, I answered a toss-up between Les Paul and Telecaster. It's more accurate to say that I have a pretty big available group from which to choose, though, and that's even more true now than then.

 

[Jipes]

Woah !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[The Grand Vizier]

Once upon a time I would have said my Fender but but the one I go to these days is my Ibanez RG1570 Prestige, best used guitar I have brought & very versatile.
Still have a soft spot for my '98 AM Standard though.

Hey Crash...at the risk of thread veer...is that black tele with the mini a 52RI hot Rod???

Oops, didn't see this question before! The black Tele is a Frankentele predating the Fender '52 RI Hot Rod's introduction, and although it does have the same Seymour Duncan mini as a neckbucker, I picked it up for about a tenth of what the Hot Rod would cost. It's a total beater that a bud of mine built, and then loaned to his son, who "relic'd" it the "hard way" by literally battering the thing onstage in his terrible poser guylinergothpopmetal band, before his dad rescued and reclaimed it.

 

[kidsmoke]

thanks for catching it. I was on the hunt for a tele. Had a lead on a RI with the mini bucker. Seemed like a nice guitar. I did find a true blue tele though. Jury is out on wether I'll keep it or not. Built by a neighbor of yours, crash. Ron Kirn in Jacksonville. Barn Burner. 11#!!! Kirn handwound pickups. Massive neck. Nice guitar but I don't know. I just love humbuckers.

 

[Brian Krashpad]

That's pretty! I don't get up to Jax often enough now that my parents moved away. Though I do still have a brother-in-law and his family up there, as well as an internet cancer buddy up there who owns a funky clothing store downtown, whom I haven't met irl.
