Good choice with the Tele, they are very versatile.
Gretsch used to literally put a G brand on some of their guitars, like this 6120. I don’t recall ever seeing one on a drum shell, although they do have their big G logo everywhere.

DittoWBB, I can't tell if you're being sarcastic here or not, but it has been a long day at the clubhouse. IMO, I would think there are many who play both acoustic or electric guitar and bass, but just don't mention it when on a particular site. Am I wrong?
For those curious out there, and I have no idea why you would be, I started out playing guitar as a way to keep a bad marriage from driving me insane and it worked. The guitar that is, the marriage went bye-bye. I became a decent rhythm player, though Malcolm Young would never have to look over his shoulder. My oldest became the bass player in the family and when he dropped out of our community band to work full-time before heading to college, I picked up the bass to replace him. I found it to be great fun and I felt I made more of an impact on the music we were doing. That was around 2011-12.
When I set up a Gmail account, it was iagtrplyr. I added iabssplyr a year or two later to keep the two instruments' info organized. In fact, I tried using my bass player name here at TB but it was already taken, though I've never seen the person. With that, I used 'guitar player' as my login and have ever since. That's the story and I'm sticking to it. Remember, I began as a drummer and it's probably still my favorite, but those days are long gone and I enjoy stringed instruments (both of them) very much.
I'm adding a Squier Classic Vibe 50s Tele (yes, I continue feeding higher-priced dollar bills to the Mothership) to the stable this coming week as I've found that I want to add guitar parts to the music we're recording and Soul Reflection might try some cross country recording swaps, and it's just not as much fun with two basses. So lock me up, I love music and the instruments it takes to make it. I can only hope TB doesn't tattoo a "G" on my forehead for it, but unless you've tried it, you have no idea how exhilarating it is to hit an E minor chord through a Tubescreamer through a Marshall. I rest my case.
Reminds me of a science experiment...

@KaraQ your combo pic brings up a question.
I see your apparently purchased a combo from music go round with a tag on it that says “bad speaker, as is.”
My question.
As soon as I get an amp/instrument/whatever, the tags, labels, identifiers, the whatever’s come off.
I have musician friends who leave on the price tag hangers, the manufacturer labels of controls and such. I always wondered why but figured it was none of my business so never asked.
With the anonymity of the internet, (and not having to worry about making a fragile 6 string players feelings hurt by asking why, cause we all know their not as tough as us)
I have to ask.
Why do you leave that tag on your amp?
And in general do others do that?
And if so why?
Just curious…
Thanks…..
(Love that T-Bird btw)
BTW, wasn't intending to flog the deceased equine. Didn't think of/remember the P_____ at time of original comment-and hadn't read the C&D remarks b4 posting.
My dislectic brain, just reads: Bad ass Speaker !!!
Have fun with it
For me, that is an easy question to answer!
.....I had taken the picture just after I'd gotten it home, and had not yet removed the tag
But!
The one with the tag isn't the combo. That's an '86 Model-115, the extension cabinet for the Max 250 beside of it.
Regret to read this. Normally we use better manners here. You caught us at our worst moments.
With or without a number, for me you are still welcome here, and I hope to see you here regularly.

Me too, I wish it were a picture of my own. But for a thousand pages, I went for a professional image, right from Fender I think. Some sort of "advertisement". Here is my own loveable little TV combo at a gig last week... that's Alcatraz in the background through the windows.

Love it. Thanks!
I want that bass! Gorgeous!
