Nothing terribly fancy, but it'll work decently for practicing without angering sleeping people.

It does take a bit of adjusting to a full-scale bass, but I've been happy with mine. Using the Simandl technique for fretting has been really helpful. I have managed to bang the headstock into my ceiling a few times though causing one of the tuners to loosen and start rattling.

After hemming and hawing most of the summer, I ended up with a Squier Jazzmaster. Checked a lot of the right boxes (single coil pickups, brown fretboard), and it doesn't look half bad. I don't mind the neck finish on this nearly as much as I have some other Squiers either. I might even like it. Anyway...

For the longest time I didn't get the appeal of Danelectros, but one of my friends is a devotee, so I finally decided to get one of my own: And yes, it's a 12-string:

Yeah, they had one with a humbucker and P90 as well, but I figured I’d try the true Dano experience with the lipsticks. So far so good.

GreatGreen posted:I’ll just chime in and echo that Duesenbergs are awesome and I’d never even considered the idea of owning a hollow or semi-hollowbody guitar until I played one. It’s got me curious too. Do they sound any different or is it more how the guitar feels?

I miss my Digiverb dearly. Lots of great modes and tons of reverb in all of them. Bummer about the Behringer, but at least the SF is a good clone.

That thing's a beaut, and I love the Squier too. Why pick a camp (Jazz or Precision) when you can be in both, you know?

# ¿ Jul 1, 2021 20:13 |

drat. I haven’t seen that Squier Jazz before. That’s one funky monkey. My only claim to legitimacy in this argument is my Yamaha BB234, which is a PJ. That and I swear I’d have a P and a J if I didn’t spend as much as I do on guitars.

Anyway, those Cordoba C series are legit, and so is classical guitar. I really like that you play what are "full" musical pieces. And if you're not really interested in building a footstool, they are easy enough to come by: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WTRFSM...&pd_rd_wg=6VzGu

That binding is something else. I'd say you did alright, but I'm a sucker for old Japanese classical guitars. I always found the lack of fret markers a little disorienting, but you get used to it.

I’d try it on my Jaguar. I keep popping the E off its slot when really digging in, but I should try at least 10-52s first.

Siivola posted:Fender guitars used to ship with 12s, so good luck. One thing you can try is, take it in for a setup and ask them to shim the neck and raise the bridge. That should increase break angle without using gadgets that press the strings against the hardware. (Check out how everything drags on the edge of the bridge in the pic there.) Sure, maybe I’ll try that instead. Not too late to return the dude either, but this sounds like something all modern Jags and JMs should have done at some point.

widefault posted:Got a second Hercules 5 guitar rack and added two extra neck yokes. Currently holding 7 Teles. Two more yokes on order since there is space to fit 9 and there are two more Teles to put onto it. Looks like you need one for your Strats too. I'll have to consider something similar with how many I've amassed too. I swear selling off my expensive guitars and buying a herd of less expensive ones was one of the best decisions I've made.

Lawen posted:That's interesting, I've been thinking I need to do the exact opposite. I have a half dozen old/cheap/crappy Fireflys and 90s Squiers lying around that I never play and if I sold them all I could probably get another pretty nice guitar that I'd actually play. And I've also been thinking about selling a bunch of pedals and getting an AxeFX. I wonder if we're all damned to this weird cycle of gear minimalism/maximalism. I'm pretty sure that is exactly it. I will accept it for what it is though, as I sold a Music Man Stingray and was able to get two G&Ls (a Tribute Legacy and a Doheny) as well as a Squier Starcaster. They were all pretty good deals, so that helped. If it makes you feel any better, I don't see anything wrong with it. I'm trying to find my balance in this life is how I look at it.

Nice, Boss still has the manual out there too. Some nice light reading material for later. My ME-80 is similarly sturdy, and I should really read up on that thing too. Still don’t know how to use the patches.

Ah, the Grovers threw me off, but I guess they did have them on earlier models. I think it's a plain old G-400, but one of the tone pots does seem to protrude more than the other.

The brown is cool in my book, but I too ended up buying one last year in the “natural” finish. They’re great really. I wouldn’t want to rewire the thing, but it’s handled everything I’ve thrown at it without fuss.
