Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

If I could only have one guitar, it would be a telecaster. It would go well with a matching '52 P-Bass in butterscotch blonde.
I have been liking those, too. It is practically the only electric guitar used in Country music...not that I play country or guitar any more for that matter. I have been watching some country shows lately like Marty Stuart on RFD TV.
That's the sound for country pickin'...and many other things.

As we all well know, I used to have two Telecaster Basses, both from 1973, with the infamous neck humbucker. They sounded fine to me, even more so once I added a Rick hi-gain pickup near the bridge, along with the attendant BassAss® bridge.

Ya but it's got 4005 like PU positions! And will be wired stereo!

Thanks!
I didn't even notice the pickup spacing! That bass should rock, when complete. :thumbsup:

Jimmy Page used a tele on the early Zep recordings.


A tele is probably the most versatile guitar.

Paul - his first solo album the bowl of cherries, extensive use of tele for electric guitar parts.
