Yes, sorry I didn't thought about basses. Maybe some mod can fix the title and add "basses"?

 

Basses are guitars! I just assumed they counted

 

Hmm maybe "Favourite string instruments" had been the best choice? I like double basses a lot more than bass guitars, to be honest. But too expensive, and I don't think I can learn the stroking by myself... The double bass was the first instrument I really wanted, but it was a little expensive for my parents, and no teachers around here...

 

Letting that one go.

 

I beg to differ, go on tori, tell us all about it.

 

Like this maybe? Well no single coils on that one, or on my 1983 hardtail , but stacked instead...
Highly modified electronics, but I would always reach for one or the other ..

Gotcha.

Oops, mistook human instrument. sorry bout that...

 

My original Ibanez Universe UV7BK with her younger sister Fender Jim Root Tele.
Love the Tele, plays wonderful and covers so many styles.

The Universe is an absolute pig, but as it travelled most of Europe with me during the 90's I can't let her go. Still a pig

 

Requesting permission to add that completely manipulated and de-contextualized quote to my signature quote list

 

hahaha yeah!

 

If you don't like metal but still want metal then it's Mayones Regius:

 

It is an instrument that requires a physique du rôle that's why I refused when they offered me to learn it, but I think it's weird you don't find teachers for it (you're in the middle of nowhere like me? ). Finding one would probably help you to acquire a good instrument at an affordable price for your level. Prepare to sacrifice your fingers if you go for it.
As an electronic counterpart you could strive for a fretless perhaps.

To MODS: stop this shameless self promotion.

 

Couldn't afford a Gibson or Gretsch so, after a lot of research, plumped for a Hagstrom Viking Deluxe and absolutely love it. Jack of all trades, sounds great, imo and plays like a dream. If money was no option, I'd love a Rickenbacker 12-string, Vox Phantom, Vox Teardrop, Airline, Gretsch, Hofner etc.

Thanks. There's no turning point.

No cool, man. I was killing it at AudioCamp. At least wait a bit until I have enough money to buy Soothe2...

 

Yeah that would be the first plan. Maybe a model where you can still see fret markings or whatever it's called... Something like this (maybe a little more expensive): https://www.thomann.de/de/harley_benton_jb_75fl_sb_vintage_series.htm

 

i have fender guitar and gibson bass. always wanted a paul reed smith guitar ... les paul is like butter to play tho. really.

 

Strat body, 9.5 radius, 10s strings, locking tuners.

 

My two favourites, a 70s series strat and a naked Faith Venus. The Squire is my daily driver, it's cheap but plays extremely well and hardly ever goes out of tune.

I must add a Les Paul to the family this year

I'm a keyboard player, yet I just love having guitars around.

 

I've considered a Variax a couple of times, what is it like to play?
