| | | | Telecasters, anyone?
I haven't played my guitars in ages. Been way too long, so last night I took my Telecaster out, plugged into my Deluxe Reverb....what a sound! No denying the fact that I'm rather out of shape, but what fun! Like Keith Richards once said...."then it hit me. A Fender guitar into a Fender amp. Well done, Leo. Well done." Indeed.
Any other bass players here play Tele's as well? Or Strat's? I'm definatley getting my Strat fixed up soon.
Back to the Tele! |

I have this guy plugged into a Carr Rambler, but similar-ish to Leo's guitar and amp. |

I also borrowed a buddy of mine's early 60's Fender Tremolux amp a while back along with his telecaster. Holy cow! Fender guitar + fender amp = TONE!

I wanted it, but I didn't have the money and I wasn't really playing guitar anymore.
Frankly, I think Strats are kinda clichéd and overrated. I prefer Teles all the way. But what do I know? I haven't played guitar in years now. Besides, I might just happen to play one in the future and love it, so maybe I shouldn't judge.

After all, the Jazz Bass itself (which I love) is based on the Strat (indirectly, I think), plus I am watching some music vids and a guy had this black strat with a black pickguard and a maple fretboard... and it was gorgeous. Plus I haven't really played all that many Strats (the real ones, mind you). So, yeah, just scratch the initial comment about Strats.
Still, the Tele is my darlin' when it comes to guitars. Just alongside the Gibson/ Epiphone SG.

Both the guitar players I normally play with are in love with my Tele. I have to keep my doors locked so they don't try to steal it...

Didn't touch it much last year as I concentrated solely on bass, but came back to it this year and feel like I'm on the verge of a breakthrough in my playing, from bad blues guitarist to mediocre  Half joshing here--the other night I just let go and played some runs that were so shockingly good compared to my usual playing that I literally had to stop for the night and take it all in.

| | | | It's great seeing how much Tele love is here. I'm definatley getting back into mine. My only gig anymore is playing bass at church once every three weeks. I do good for what's required and while there's always room for improvement on bass I just feel like slightly branching back out in a differant direction, if nothing more than for my own doing. It's a nice alternative. |
