I would probably be an epiphone thunderbird.
I've got the traditional looks. I'm awkward just like the tb's neckdive. I don't sound very good when I sing. I have a relatively skinny neck. Lots of people use me.

i would be a bongo - some love me and others can't stand me

or maybe i would be a 7 stringer... unconventional. accepted by some, overlooked by some, misunderstood by some. have a nice big range (I really do, have almost a 4 octave vocal range, low D2 to Bb5 or even B5 on a good day)

A p-bass. Thick neck, looks nice in it's own "special" way. Simple yet dependable.

...You know, you really can't argue with that reasoning. I think I'll second that.

I wouldn't want to be a bass guitar because then I couldn't play myself...

Wait, that came out wrong.

I don't think i could be a bass. to me, basses are like woman: smooth, curvy and make interesting sounds when a decent finger technique is applyed.

I'd be a Shergold Marathon- looks strange, sounds either really awful or really good, big head(stock)....
