Fellowship of the Bass, show me your electric guitars!

[mongo2]

I don't have a picture but my only electric guitar now is a Squier Duo Sonic. Unfortunately I can't play it effectively anymore due to an incapacity caused by a minor stroke I suffered nearly 5 years ago.

I seem to like the same look in G or B.
1998 Hardtail Strat with lace sensor golds

1991 MIJ '52 Tele RI. Great neck.

2007 Deluxe Strat. Beautiful finish, great neck.

I also have a 1957 Musicmaster stripped natural with an amazing '57 strat PU

That's insane! Are You a bass player?

Lots of really beautiful electric guitars here. I only have one - a Tele that I had to have, not because I play it, but to sort of honor the guy who taught me how to play back in 1960-something-or-other, who played a Tele, also had to have at least one Fender in the house, and finally, it was just so damn pretty:

Just one - an 80s Westone Thunder II. I barely play because I suck at guitar but it's nice to have a quality guitar in case I wanna try to get an idea down.

Pic from the original Reverb listing -

I wanna build a guitar tuned to B standard...it's on my list. But I've been hesitant due to the aforementioned lack of guitar skills.

This is my favourite, 1971 Les Paul Deluxe standardised with Tim Shaw pickups -- it's my Brian Robertson Thin Lizzy tribute guitar

Here are my 2004 Am. Series Strat in Chrome Red with Lace Sensor Hot Gold pickups, and 2022 G&L USA Legacy HSS in Silver Metallic. I also have a 1949 Gibson archtop with a DeArmond pickup (originally my dad's), but I never play it.

This one started off as a 1996 Made In Japan Strat. The ash body and the hardware are about the only original parts left.

Neck needed a fretjob back in '16 but it was easier and more fun to replace the neck... so that's a pau ferro Warmoth Vintage/Modern neck with the Wolfgang neck shape, a smoooooooth pau ferro board, a 1 3/4" Tusq nut and stainless vintage frets.

Pickups include a couple of Lace Sensors (Emerald in the neck, Hot Gold in the middle) with a DiMarzio Hot Rails in the bridge.

All the knobs are push-pulls for flipping the phase on positions 2 and 4, series/parallel for the Hot Rails and more.

And it sounds great through that little Bugera V5 tube combo!

Did he sell it after realizing he knew nothing about guitars?

It's an incredible guitar.

I have always liked Tele tones the best, but prefer strat bodies. That’s what I got in my first guitar. It’s a MIA Fender Parallel Universe Whiteguard Strat. It is basically a Tele other than the body shape. I have since changed the bridge to a six saddle. It’s 6.7 lbs. Ash body.

Now I feel GAS to have an Eric Johnson Thinline strat to check the lightweight strat box. Then probably some strat style guitar with hum-buckers. I just like precision and strat body shapes that much!

1)Hondo Fame Professional electric 12-string. Fender pickups, piezo pickup, Hohner ATN tone circuit.
2) Hudson electro-acoustic 12-string.
3) Line 6 Variax 300 modelling guitar.
4) Alden (now Revelation/Alan Entwistle) semi-acoustic Vox teardrop copy. Entwistle pickups, ATN tone circuit, Burns vibrato.

That's insane! Are You a bass player?

I play bass about as well as I play guitar - but to call me a “bass player” would depend on the surrounding company.

Funny enough, I don’t really have a desire to collect bass guitars. I like to have a variety of them, but don’t feel the need to have two of the exact same. Only have about 15 basses.

Here's my Conquest guitar - a Chinese copy of PRS SE 24 made around 2006-2008 by order of Russian luthier Ivan Kazakov.

I've got one of these Squier Telecasters: https://d1aeri3ty3izns.cloudfront.net/media/47/472145/1200/preview.jpg
As it happens I was playing it tonight, and it turns out that an Orange Terror Bass with 1x12 cab and reverb pedal does the job fairly well for jazz soloing.

#1 for a reason

 

[SDC1-ClickClack]

Eastwood Esprit Ultra (with cherryburst flame-top) that I bought new in 2020 and had modified by replacing the OEM pickups with a set of Malinoski humbucker-sized "gold foil"-type pickups wired with a toggle switch so that I can run them in series or parallel, plus I replaced the original Tune-O-Matic bridge with an excellent Babicz/Full Contact Hardware bridge.
