Look a lot like the Firebird - and those bad boys neck dive like there is no tomorrow.Originally Posted by Bon
Always wanted one, alas they don't make them for lefties so it's a Fender Jazz for me.
All my Gibsons have the in-between neck. Not the superset baseball bat necks of the 50's, but not the 60's super thin necks. I'm not a fan of the really thick necks.
All I know is my daughter wants one.
Its a bass, there isn't much interesting about them.
If I was to ever join the darkside I'd get a Music Man Stingray.
I've never even touched a 50's Les Paul. In Australia we never got them - 1960 was the first issue of the Les Paul to come here [Friends one had a pretty thick neck from memory though - but I'm thinking back to around 1981 or so ]- and it was only a handful of guitars as well - then the SG shaped LP arrived.

I'm left handed as well - but the lack of variety was killing me so I taught myself to play as a righty. Best move I ever made - and not that difficult.
So, this followed me home today.
nice. hows it feel compared to the everyday strat?
Compared to my strat, its a lot more lively. Sound is completely different, but thats to be expected. Plugged in it a lot more versatile than I was expecting from a single pickup guitar.
Played so many strats with different necks though that is is hard to compare.
Feel wise, I like it. The neck is very similar to my other Gibson necks. I wasn't sure how I would like the satin finish on the neck, but I am really happy with it. Feels quiet good, although the pain it very thin so I think it will wear.
I think I've finally found my backup guitar when playing out. Only issue is my son has fallen in love with it as well, so there could be a few fights.
P90's are one of the most versatile pickups you can get. They sound great clean and even better when you push them hard through something like a Super lead or a Rectifier.
That video just keeps giving. They actually look proud of themselves at the end.
To be fair, they nailed the vocals.
Bass player reminds me of Bon for some reason. and WTF was the guitar player thinking, everyone knows you cant play GnR on a strat?
Is this for real? haha.. Look, we have all been there, gotta start somewhere!
I think the guitarist has bigger problems than his choice of guitar.. haha
How good is the drummer ? He's come up with his own unique time signatures and patterns. True innovator.
Start somewhere, yep. Post the start on the internet........Ummmmm.
Maybe, just maybe they are so far ahead of their time that we just don't get it.
Well, that just comes down to poor life choices..
Sort of like picking up a guitar instead of a bass..
Played both in bands, I know which is the better life choice.Well, that just comes down to poor life choices..

Acoustic Guitar Strings - I'm giving up on Elixir Nanowebs - the quality control is piss poor. Have had several sets not last even 6 hours before the coating comes off and they start buzzing due to non uniform thickness.
Probably go back to the Dean Markley Signature Acoustic Bronzes and be done with it. Grass is greener and all that - but the Elixirs are just plain terrible.
Actually, coated strings in general I hate.
