Especially for those who play bass but not guitar....
Just based on sound rather than playability....

SG's look really cool, but don't have that much of a distinctive sound, imo. I quite like the sound of Tele's but somehow never wanted one for myself - but one day I will probably treat myself to the two mentioned above.

Love tele's, SG's and LP's | I wanted a small number of specific options, so I made the catgories up on the popular pick up configurations.....
If anyone else wants to suggest a different broad classification of the types of guitars that produce the distinctive broad we can run a different poll.....just realized I have excluded hollow body electrics like rickys.....
Maybe I should rephrase the question.....
What do you prefer out of a,b or c kind of thing??
What I am getting at is whether bass players prefer one type of guitar sound to another, personally I like the sound of a telecaster - it seems to have it's own space and does n't interfere with the tones of my bass. Relatively easy to mix too. |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Hooksett, NH | | For me it's a toss up between the Strat and the LP. I own both an Am. Strat and a LP Studio. I voted Strat for the shear versatility. But I really love the sound of the LP's humbuckers. Especially in a "southern rock" setting, ala Allman Brothers. But if I had to take just one guitar with me on a gig for a variety of tunes I'd opt of the Strat.
Here I am with the strat on a gig a few weeks ago. Very rarely do I play guitar on a gig...
