It really is Greg, this shows the Tree of Life inlay and the MOP binding that goes right round the body and fretboard

Flatwounds aren't nearly as dull sounding as some people seem to think. They do have a different sound though, they lack that metallic aggressiveness. I use flats on my semi-acoustic bass of the un-encumbered variety (i.e. fretless), and I love 'em.

Oh, and precision basses and flatwound strings are a marriage made in bass heaven.

Egad ... I just realised you use a plectrum Shocked

Sex with gloves on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've taken to mucking about with a plectrum on my semi-acoustic, it gives a nice, vaguely oud-ish vibe.

Bass guitarists are starting to hijack this thread

What happened to all those ten-fingered-acousticos

I haven't bought a new guitar, but my RP-50/Telecaster project is nearing completion.
I'll post some pics and descriptions soon........

kevvvvvv - I have zero cash, but I am pining for a little shredder cos I've been learning lots of Slayer riffs lately

I'll PM you for a trade !

That would be cool. Although I'm already counting pennies to see if I could get a MusicMan Silhouette, and the GAS factor seems quite high with that 8 stringer...

Um, if I told you it has sadowski hum-cancelling/stagered poll piece pickups and a very nice esp replacement bridge (as well as the original parts) would that make it MORE tempting

Well, for my last actual guitar I purchased I'd have to go back one more, which I got about a year ago or so.

It's a Schecter electric hollowbody 12-string (again I need to get some nicer photos taken):

EDIT: here's a stock shot:

Flatwounds aren't nearly as dull sounding as some people seem to think.

In fact, they basically last longer and "record" much better than you'd think AND are defiantly better than round's that are worn.

Be happy orchestral payers don't start posting here, just imagine starting to GAS for a contrabass clarinet or somesuch, not a single one below 2000 buck. Heck, I started looking for a French horn (not that it would fit in my music, but I played one in school and always loved that haunting tone...), 1500 would only get me a bottom-of-the-line kiddy starter kit

I love being made to feel so welcome.

I actually did get an electric guitar a while ago, but I can't find the camera. It's hard to play, everything's so small...

I sold and played boat loads of Dan Electros back when I was still in retail. Yes they do sound vintage, but then it's simple lipsticks and masonite construction...how hard can it be to capture that? I really liked the baritone, I should of bought one when I could get them cheap.

back about 2000ish I had one of those really really cheap DE's and it got the knarliest beautiful feedback.........never have captured that again!

Oh, what happened to the guitar? Ever seen pete townshend?

Anyone Bought a New Guitar lately?
