Reverend. I know theyre not boutique or whatever but the retro style just speaks to me.

While a little lame-ish, I always thought naming instruments was kinda fun. I avoid giving them female-aligned names because it just comes off as a little creepy IMO. Gender-neutral names are the way to go! Squier PJ - Rue Ray5 - Shay Ibanez RG421 - Ollie

Squier Affinity PJ "Lavender Pearl" pickguard, gold knobs with stone caps, and the black tuners, tree, and bridge are all budget parts I found scouring the web I'll eventually replace the budget parts with better quality parts and the bridge pickup needs to be replaced asap, but I'm very happy...

Not a bass, but a really close friend gave me a nice guitar about 6 years ago. LTD M300FM. Its packed with EMG 81s, a Floyd Rose Special, neck-through body, and reverse headstock. A serious shredder. I've been loaned plenty of basses tho. Acoustics, uprights, and a couple 6 string LTD's that...

I've bought a few used items from other GC's, shipped to my local GC. I am under the assumption that the shipping between two GC's is handled better than reverb to home. But thats really just an assumption. I could be totally wrong on that. Buying used gear is hit or miss period, especially if...

Personally, I have yet to hear evidence of fretboard wood making a difference in tone. I've experimented with it numerous times and can only come to one conclusion: I think maple looks cooler

That is phenomenal!!! I love wholesome stuff like this :D

And Squier has blessed us with a punk-budget-friendly model and added a J pup to boot!

Hey! I grew up with the Jackson films (lotr>hobbit) and read the books like they were my own personal Bible Never finished Silmarillion tho. I adore the lore and world, but it's such a dry read. My wife and I really enjoy ROP. Not a perfect Tolkien adaptation, but I'm grateful to have more to...

The BEAD is all I need :)
