| Wait....Isn't that the bass"The Hutchster"played? If it's the same Guild model Hutch Hutchinson played with Bonnie Raitt (and MANY,MANY other artists),I'd l-o-v-e to have one to add to the ol' "stable".
I've ALWAYS LOVED the tone that The Hutchster "squeezed" out of these/those Guilds. I've considered gettin' one,it'd be nice,for sure. But,to be quite honest,I'm just way too tight,when it comes to basses'n'gear. After all,I've not purchased a bass,or ampflification since 1996 (or '97). Just strings'n'cords & p.a.!! I know,I know....I'm a cheap-ass!! I'm just w-a-y too interested in buying rental properties at the moment. That's alright....The REAL fun will come once my main priorities are done,or retirement(if I make there!) comes around. BUT (and that's a b-i-g but!!),I'm just worried about that muddy-assed tone that I assume that pup is known to produce (Gibson Eb-Series?).
If you need to realize,I have 2 main gigging basses: A real deal 1975 Jazz (with a Bad-ass),run thru an old-school,clip-on Sadowksy pre. And,a pre-Gib Tobias 5. So,needless to say,I'm an active bass kinda guy.
BTW..... What's the scale length on these puppies??? |
