BUSH 2112 posted:Yeah, I don't think I'd want to play in a normal rock band with my bass. I'm more into the Les Claypool style of bass playing. I do love J-basses, though. P-basses do nothing for me, for whatever reason. They sound kind of wimpy imo. I'm not saying that anything but Fender style basses are poo poo, I think I've just had the pleasure of playing with some bassists that obviously bought their bass based on the look. I've been playing with an acoustic americana/country artist for years and recently he decided to put together a band for a few gigs over the summer with a fiddle player friend of mine. He brought this bassist in who had this quilted maple carved-top bass with a glossy finish and exaggerated curves on the body complete with gold hardware. I listened to him play through 4 different but quality bass rigs and it always sounded like a wet fart. I don't even remember what brand the bass was but the fact that he couldn't tell it sounded like poo poo makes me believe that this was his bass of choice based on looks alone. Anyone had the joy of playing a Hoffner violin bass? I know they have a unique tone that not everyone likes but now I understand how McCartney made his bass playing seem effortless (not just because he's incredible). That has to be one of the most entertaining and fun basses I've ever played.

Since we're on bass chat. Aluminum necked Kramers, yay or nay? Specifically my personal one that I picked up at a Goodwill.  It weighs a ton is my only big complaint.

OOoooooooh When you said "guitar shirts" I thought you were talking about the kind of guitar t-shirt you get free for sending in empty D'Addario string packs or buying a Fender guitar or doing other stupid things, of which I've owned and worn dozens over the years despite dubious-at-best aesthetics--but you know, hey who cares, free shirt.  But these, these other shirt. Are bad. V bad

The white LPoid and the greyish telecasteroid, specifically. Most of the rest just look like they ran regular guitar photos through photoshop filters.

Hey kid! What's your favorite song? ...Alright then, what's your favorite Bowie song then? Rebel Re- What?! Whaddya mean it's not Stay? I mean it's got your favorite GuitarFetish sponsored guitarist, Earl Slick! And what do ya know, he's got his own guitar! No it's not a Framus, they've got nothing to do with this! It's by GuitarFetish themselves, and they're called Slick Guitars! He's not a has-been, he's a cool rock star just like all you kids like. How about I show ya the guitar will that make you happy?  Yep Earl Slick got's his own line of guitars. Okay I'll admit that the Les Paul ain't nothin' to look at, but take a look at that drat bee-eeh-aye-utiful double cut! What a beauty, no kid don't look at the strat, alright just look at the double cut-no! Stay away from that case! Stop! Just, whatever you do don't look at that tele! Admittedly, I actually kinda like the strat, but I'll easily admit that the double cut Les Paul Jr is the real star of the show. Edit: vvv If I already hadn't spend $400 this week on one of those Beat Buddy things, a Super Distortion pickup, and other guitar crap I'd consider buying one of these things; but there's also the fact that it costs $100 to ship one of these things north of the border to my part of the country.

I have 3 p90 sized DiMarzio super distortions sitting around from an old guitar and have been trying to think of a reason not to buy the SL59... Would definitely get the brown finish one though.

The feel and vibe is enhanced and preserved by the completely unique way that we finish Slick guitars. The solid ash body is NOT wood grain filled. It is NOT sealed. NO Polyurethane fillers. It's raw. We stain the wood and then spray a single coat of old fashioned automotive paint and sand it back. The pores don't get clogged so the wood can breathe. It works. It sounds better. Louder. Fuller. You can feel it instantly.
