Awesome amp I love it.

This is one guitar I've really looked into buying, and I only had one reservation. Tell me how the neck feels! Is it really tapered and fast? Is there any way you could take a picture of it?

I came close to ordering the same pickguard but I don't think the screw holes will line up properly. I love rollergirls! How is the quality?

Pod X3 Live and American Deluxe Tele- the tele plays like a dream and is sooo versatile. I always loved playing them in store and finally sold my SG to get the funding for one (with a heavy heart, but my Agile LP has me covered on the humbucker side). The new hotness ROCKS though.

the screw holes lined up alright. the pickguard was very tight in some areas and others it needed to be modified with a rotary tool.

the quality is good. I would have liked it better if it were 3 ply and the black parts are closer to a very dark purple but I would say it was a good investment.

that finish is purdy.

I'm lucky I have no credit because I probably would have gotten myself retarded in debt to GC and Sam Ash with that same as cash for 15 months deal. new highway 1 jazz bass? twin reverb? micro korg? don't mind if I do!

oh yeah, and this should be coming in the mail today.


anybody wanna buy a TS9 and/or a Marshall Guv'nor 2+? I think this will be better for the bass sound I'm looking for.

How does the POD X3 sound? Sometimes I wonder whether I'd be better off buying something like that or just buying Guitar Rig 3 (which sounds great) and the controller while running it through my macbook pro.

Got my Mustang bass, and I loving love it. I have one problem though - what the hell kind of strings do I put on it? I'm pretty sure full scale strings will be too long. Do they make short scale strings? Is the Mustang truly a short scale bass? It's got a 30'' scale length, and while that's shorter than a full scale electric bass, I've also read about basses with 25'' scales.

Generally to retain the same tension as a normal scale instrument you'll want higher gauge strings.

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am.
Yes, there are short scale bass strings. Handen's correct, though if you're using regular strings (unless it says "short scale" on the package, assume they're for a 34" bass), you'll want a heavier gauge to keep them from being too floppy.

I finally received this guitar in the mail today, and I've been playing it for hours. I'm constantly surprised at the quality of this thing. I got the guitar and a hard case all for around $200 (shipping included). It was packed perfectly, shipped nicely, arrived in one piece, and let me tell you, everything is just top notch for a budget guitar.

In response to your question, yes, the neck is tapered, and fast. It honestly plays very well. I've heard some people say they needed to change the action on the guitar when they first received it, but the action's set perfect for me already. I made sure to get the model with the stop-bar tailpiece and not the fulcrum tailpiece with the whammy, just because I don't use that effect that much and I figured it would be too much weight and mess with the intonation.

Man, even the case this came with is fantastic. It's lockable, and I wasn't expecting that! I also wasn't expecting the compartments in the case to be so nice--there's a compartment for parts with a little panel to cover it as well as a compartment that fits 8 1/2 x 11" paper perfectly (for sheet music and tabs).

I haven't gotten the chance to check out the electronics on the guitar yet, as my amp isn't at my place of residence right now, but if I don't like them, gently caress it, I'll just replace them, considering this was only a $130 guitar. As far as the body, the neck, everything, it's just fantastic. I think the ONLY thing that's wrong with this guitar is the pickguard smudges/scratches easily when I play with a pick, but I never have and never will give a hot poo poo about that as I find that kind of stuff gives a guitar its character.

I love this thing, and I recommend it profusely :)

There is a retarded amount of fret buzz though, mainly on the E string, so I'm planning on changing to thicker strings and possibly getting this thing set up. I need a new amp too...
