Hey musicians!

Tbirds are sexy. My only gripe is how they are balanced. Once you get used to it though they're a dream

Yeah it takes a little getting used to, but when I'm sitting down it fit nicely on my knee. More importantly the neck fits my hand beautifully.




Ps. Did tha pic even show up? I'm on my phone and this photobucket shit is pissing me off.

I had to click on the blue square and open it. I'm on my phone as well. A few weeks ago I fucked up my wrist playing the bass line to born under a bad sign. Pretty much stay in one position for 5 minutes. First time I picked up the bass after a few months of guitar only. Damn strain put me out of the game for a week.

That is right in my wheelhouse. I'm a straight blues pocket type player. I get into trouble when I venture off the reservation.

I can understand that. I'm used to guitar where you get some movement. When I play lead I mostly stick to the 2nd and 3rd positions of whatever key I'm in. I drift into the first a bit too, but lately the 3rd has been my butterzone

Plays great, love this thing. Those are switches.

Bright switches and such?

Look up Damage control pedals. All tubed pedals that sound amazing. They are pricey, though. But worth it.
I think all guitar players should try the ghs david glimour strings. I love em. Sound great and last a good while
I'm a fan of the elixers... long lasting.


That's what she said. Hey-ohhhhh.
 
I am totally ignorant of all things music, have never played an instrument, have no idea how to read music or even how other people read that shit, am about as tone deaf as a person can get, usually can't tell the difference between mono and stereo, find most concerts to be way too loud and know shit about any music from the last 20 years unless it's from Manilow.
I do however own a really nice Yamaha piano that I once tried to play chopsticks on but totally screwed it up.

I bet you play a mean skin flute.

Ive used elixers on my martin. Almost have to or its too boomy. I havent tried em on electric yet.

Also I have 13s on my acoustic. Overkill?
 
Lets discuss your equipment and music. Feel free to share pictures of your setup or links to your music. Tits and guitars work as well. Also what is your dream insturment?

My setup is a Fender Jimmie Vaughan strat through either a bugera v5 or 72 fender MMB. Pedals are real simple. Tube screamer and crybaby. For acoustic I play a Martin DM. For bass I switch between a knockoff Pbass or a squier jag bass. My current project is a squier tele that I'm upgrading to p90s.

A dream guitar is a tie between a 72 strat to go with my amp, or a 60s SG with p90s.

Ill post pictures and audio when I get home.

Actually, this photo of my studio is slightly outdated. Still have the Danelectro guitar and the MS-20 synth - but sold the drum machine and bought a whopping great big Moog Voyager (no, the drum machine didn't pay for that - hardly even the shipping)...

That depends.... do you play Jazz on it using a $.50 piece as a pick? Heh.

I actually learned on an acoustic with 13s. That's what my old man used on his Guild.

Uh got em on accident actually. Theyre the martin lifespans. At first I didnt like em but they grew on me. I think I normally had 12s on it. I love guilds! My uncle has two. An acoustic and whatever the 335 clone was. Hes also got a 47 gibson acoustic that sounds like angels singing.

I mostly stick to bluesy and classic rock type stuff
 
I need to go get a setup. My strats playing funny and I don't know why. I think the necks outta wack. Fuckin humidity
 
How are the semi hollow basses? Ive never seen one in the store to try. Also I know a lot of old timer bass players who all love the feel of the ric, but hate the electronics.
 
You know I've never picked up either of them. I just really dig the way they look. The only hollow body I've heard play was by a half deaf guy that used nylon stings so it sounded horrible. I don't want to judge them by that one performance.
 
My main guitar is a 25 year old Aria Pro II, bought it from a pawn shop back in the late 80's...redid the electronics, put in a pair of split coil Seymour Duncan 59's...with new pots and switches, about 3 years ago...waiting for a custom solid brass bridge to get here, but have graphite saddles and nut...
Amp is a Vox VT-100, the hybrid tube/digital...only pedals are a volume pedal and a Green Rhino...
She sings...when we were testing new sound equipment right after I got her transplants done, the sound gear man came up and asked me what I was playing...said he loved my tone...our lead guitarist showed him his American Strat, brand new and really sounds good, but the sound man shut him down, pointed at mine and said "But that sounds GOOOD!" had to laugh...
Also have a Yamaha 6-string elec/acoustic, not sure the model, thin body...
Fender 6 string acoustic that I added a permanent Dean Markley PU into...
Alvarez 12-String with a Matrix One under bridge pickup...
Epi Dot Studio archtop...cheap one but sounds great and I have her set up slick...
The photo is my old LP Prophecy, sold her a few months ago, along with the XT live in the pic...

Was that the V? I borrowed an aria pro somethin or other from my cousin when I first started. It had duncans stock I think, and sounded great. Never was comfortable with a V though

V? I didn't list one...Never liked playing a V for some reason either...
Aria made a good guitar...not sure what they are selling stateside now...I haven't been out to a shop to look for a while...I love the neck on this one...perfect for my hands...been playing this one for 24-25 years, may never use anything else...
The first real electric I had was an Aria Pro II Tri Sound Series...3 pick-ups, all switched and tapped, 3 phase switches...all 3 pickups had their own tones and vol pots...more than you could ever remember settings for...I think I had it figured out that there were 127 different combinations available...plus tone trims...that one got left on the east coast when we moved west...

I love my strat but I really want somethin with p90s. Like I said before I'm gonna slap some in mysquier tele and see how I like it. I want an sg with 90s I think. I also want a fender twin
