Here comes the 80's...
- Thread starter Lee Kirkham

it was around in the 80s. I went to college 85-89, and a guy I knew used to wear it.

The sound of a Wal fretless is one of the greatest sounds the universe has ever created, IMO.
I really really hate this opinion. It's so ignorant to all the fantastic music that's been made in my lifetime.
Also know as. "I've stopped looking for new music after high school"
If the 80's are coming back, can I request a redo on all post-Signals Rush albums?
Can I just say, I'm okay with this. I mean, not that green, that's hideous! But I'm all for pointy basses and big hair making a come back!
These are mine -
And then there was me, back then....
And even now.....
So yeah.......
The Girbaud parachute pants are long gone, but I think I've got a bolo tie somewhere in a box in the garage.
As ignorant as people who thinks there's no life beyond Fender, Rick. (God help you If you like Fender PJ, or P with Jazz neck. Blasphemy..)
(I'm not that old but I'm pretty ignorant to post 80s music..I grew up in the 2000s but still don't like it.)
Like, new instruments for 2021?
I went to the website and they're still showing the same stuff from January 2020..
I showed a picture of myself and my wife when a band I was in was playing an 80s themed show once. The person said "nice costume" and I replied, "it's not a costume, thats the real me. What you see on most days (normal hair, clothes, etc) is the costume."
Have you ever been asked, "If you could go back to high school, would you?" I always reply, "yeah, if 2020 me could go" (Im waaaay cooler now, you know!). A guitar buddy and I are working on a recording project, just us and a drum machine, recording stuff that we wish we could have recorded back in the 80s in school. We are calling it "87 Fiero", because, admit it, that was a really cool car!

People who came of age in the 80s are having their midlife crises?
Like, but yeah, the pointy bits are a little funky.
The 80s did have its moments (charm) but there are some things that should be left behind,like neon colors, I liked the angular head stocks over the old fashion HS that look like a ballerinas foot attached to the neck. I'm sort of surprised that not 1 company has tried to evolve that sharp explorer type HS into something more updated.
