James Tyler Club

I'll be willing to bet the lion's share are in Nashville and surrounding vicinity. Maybe a few sprinkled around LA too. :)

Yes being a session player in Nashville myself I’ve seen them here and just about only here. LA definitely has some treasures as well.

Sorry....of course, I just have my basses covered for what I normally do with my 6's. :) They are very specific soundwise. I'd throw roundwound strings on a Tyler and use it for absolutely everything else.

I’m the same way. I mean I have 6 different p basses lol. I use every excuse possible for more basses lol maple with rounds maple neck with flats rosewood with rounds rosewood with flats. :D

He must have been on drugs when he thought that dropping his name 100 times on the already untraditional headstock was a good idea :bag:
Taste and artistic leanings are not the possession of all men. I've never heard such a derogatory and negative comment about James's instruments. I would bet this person has NEVER played either the Bass or the Guitar. I have and there is not a Fender style guitar on the planet that touches his Guitars. NONE. Maybe there is something in Norway (not on drugs) that can compete ??? Lol ;)
