I bought an acoustic guitar  ...
...and I'm selling one of my basses (an '82 G&L L1000) to fund it. 
I've been doing some recording in my home studio, and have a song that needs a decent acoustic guitar sound. GAS is GAS, and I couldn't help myself.  |

I like them Seagull Acoustics. | I spent a long time hacking around on a guitar before I found my way home to the bass. But, every once in a while, old habits rear their ugly heads and I find myself holding one of them little 6-stringers again. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2004 Location: Miami, FL | | | I'm really kidding. I played guitar for 13 years before switching to bass. . . But I have played very little guitar since then, which was 11 years ago.
I still have my first two electrics and an acoustic. . . but they only see the light of day when I'm recording. I do most of my composing in either bass or keys.
I had a short-lived guitar-G.A.S. episode last year with a hollowbody: I was close to buying either an Ibanez Artcore, or an Epiphone Sheraton, but ended up getting a Line6 Variax, which I quickly sold a few weeks after. . .
Guitar G.A.S. I just not fun. . . |

Nothing wrong with being versitile. I am by no means a guitarist, but I am a bassist that can play rhythem guitar.
I don't consider myself a guitarist, even though I can hold my own with the best of them on a mean bar chord!

I always have to pop in these threads when I see a Seagull - I've been advocating them ever since I first touched mine a year ago. What model is it?
And on another note, Fender phosphor bronze strings rock on these, especially the standard S6 models. I use them, and I've heard from other people that use them too that they really help the guitar sing. |

I had just about pulled the trigger on a S6, but found this one within my budget. The guy in the brown truck should be bringing it to me in a couple of hours  |
