Here she is! Couldn’t pass it up. Spector Q5 and a Gator hard case for $280

Went down to Sam Ash this evening and played around with a few different guitars. Played around with a few different Spectors, Music Man, Fender Jazz, Ibanez and Yamahas. I honestly didn’t care for the feel of the Music Man or the Fender. I was surprised by the Yamaha. Didn’t think I’d like it...

5 string Ibanez Soundgear

Lol, think Sublime, Slightly Stoopid, Tribal Seeds, etc

Yes, definitely considering the Spector a bit more due to the neck PU. I’m not finding any MM’s with a neck PU within my current budget. I don’t even want to play an EBMM with neck PU right now because I don’t wanna drop that kinda money just yet. I’m a terrible impulse buyer... lol

No amp yet. I plan on grabbing a decent practice amp for now until the need arises and I begin to play with others.

Totally been thinking Ampeg! Always loved the tone. The warmth of tubes as well.

Definitely agree! The amp/cabinet choice will come soon. I just planned on grabbing a used decent practice amp for the time being so I can hear some sound while noodling in my living room. Once it comes time to jam with some friends, I’ll throw some money into that stuff. It’ll be a little while...

I’m finally getting back to playing after about 16 years! My background was from my late teens/early 20s playing in a rock/metal band. I’ve gotten a little older and my choice of music has grown even heavier and darker. However, lol as crazy as it sounds, I have a huge love for Reggae! More...

Hey TB! After years of debate, I’ve decided it’s finally time to play again... or at least attempt it, lol. I was young and at a time in my life where I decided to put my focus into my career and not let inner band quarrels regarding the future of the band affect life-long friendships. Not a day...

Found TB as I was researching google on the latest and greatest. It’s been 16 years since I’ve played and finally decided it’s time again.

Sounds identical to my story! 16 years here. About to finally start playing again.
