Bassist would you rather play an acoustic or electric guitar ? I think there is something really beautiful about rocking out on an acoustic guitar.

Four guitars in the house and at least two books of classical music, best stop talking about it and get started.

I'm a Bassplayer.
We don't need no stinking guitar. |

Then I saw this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_9ISVPBfFY
When I get home for the summer, I think my electric guitar is gonna gather some dust... Time to play the accoustic a bit more methinks ( when I'm not busy playing bass, of course  )

| | | | Acoustic, I find it easier to make up things on the spot instead of hiding behind effects. I still play a healthly dose of both though | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
