I've tried a Fender TC-90, and although I'd have to try one again my guess is that it'd sound quite similar to my Gibson Les Paul Faded Double Cutaway (flat top, two P90s). Around the same time frame that I'd tried the TC-90, I'd also tried a Fender Telecaster Deluxe (with the 2 humbuckers), and...

Last night after work, I decided to try picking out a piano part ("Lady" by Little River Band) with my Bass VI through my POD 2.0, and I was reminded of a slight problem that I've found with it, since I bought it used last month. Whenever I adjust the volume and tone, I get crackling, in both...

One of my high school buddies plays guitar in a 4-piece cover band (guitar, bass, keys, drums...mostly 70s and 80s pop & rock), and he uses an Ibanez (didn't ask him which model) through a 2x12 Line6 Spider. Sounded just fine to me. Matt

Can it sound like a Fender Bass VI? I may give it a whirl, one of these days whenever I wander into a store that has one...see if I can't coax a "Bass VI" sound out of it. Otherwise, I'll stick with my collection of guitars and basses (15 total, including the Bass VI that put the total to 15)...

Sounds like somebody that'd piss their pants, and run the other direction, if they were ever confronted with somebody that was not only NOT intimidated by his bullshit, but was also willing and able to back up their promises of what could happen to HIS physical well being if he didn't stop with...

I have a POD 2.0, and when I got it 6 years ago, it breathed some needed life into my guitar playing. When I'm feeling especially lazy, at any given time, it's nice to be able to tune my guitars with the POD, rather than by ear like I normally do. Matt

The ValveKing amps are some great amps, especially if ya want some nice distortion at lower volumes, without having to use a pedal. Matt

To my ear, the Telecaster Deluxe can give a Les Paul a run for it's money. Of course that all depends on the usual factors, such as the player, the amp/speaker or combo. My Les Paul wouldn't sound anything like a typical Les Paul, since mine has the P90s instead of humbuckers. By the way, the...

I don't have one, yet, but it's on my to-buy list. It's either that, or scrimp and save the extra "seven-hundred-something" toward a Rickenbacker 360-12. When it comes down to it, I think I'd rather go for the Stratocaster XII. Matt

Musician's Friend has 14 acoustic-electric Epiphone guitars, ranging from $150.00 to $750.00, including the EJ-160E John Lennon one that you mentioned. It's the only one of the 14 that has an external pickup. The others look like they have a saddle pickup...

If I had $1300.00 and permission to buy a Telecaster, I'd likely go for the '60s Custom Telecaster with Bigsby...in Candy Apple Red. Matt

I've played several Telecaster Deluxe and Customs, and if it wasn't for already owning a Squier Fat Telecaster and Ibanez Jet King, I'd be looking to buy one of each. Matt

With my electric basses (both 34" scale), they're slung to where the top curve of the body sits on my hip. My acoustic/electric bass is slung a bit higher, with the bottom curve of the body sitting on my hip, and that's where I sling my acoustic and electric guitars, as well. I have long arms as...

My Fender Bass VI already had some body dings, since it was a used one (1995-1996 production), so I probably wouldn't notice anything I might do to it, unless it was something significant. My Squier P-bass and Fat Telecaster have a couple of drop dings, from having the straps come off while I...

I forget how many I was at, when I originally voted, but my collection has hit 15, with the recent addition of a Fender Bass VI. I'll go through the collection again, so y'all don't have to click/scroll to find my other replies. 01) Squier Affinity P-bass 02) Squier Fat Telecaster 03) Ibanez...

I'd voted for Epiphone, but I could have just as easily voted for Squier. I own three of each - Epiphone PR100, PR350-12E and Les Paul Jr. 90; Squier Affinity P-Bass, Fat Telecaster and Bullet Special. The Squier Bullet Special I'd bought because Fender Tom DeLonge Strats are no longer in...

At a surf band show I went to in Chicago, back in May of last year, several of the bands used Jazzmasters, and it was really my first practical experience hearing a JM live. I quipped that "the only thing that can go lower than a Jazzmaster is a baritone." But I was wrong, I s'ppose...when ya...

Yesterday afternoon, I'd stopped at Sam Ash in Indianapolis, after a visit to the VA medical center, in the morning. I was planning to stop at Guitar Center and IRC Music, after Sam Ash, as I was looking to try out different all tube combo amps, other than the Peavey Classic 50/410 I've pretty...

Although I don't jam as much as I feel I should, what you said pretty much sums up my "practicing," when I do it. I'll get to jamming along, just making things up as I go, hit a couple of familiar licks, stop and think "huh?," do those couple of licks again...maybe try to pursue it further...and...

That's what I usually joke that the 5th string is good for. Last month, I'd tried out a used Epiphone EB-3 SG bass to which the previous owner had attached a thumb rest...practically UNDER the E string! If I wasn't bumping into it when up-picking with my index and middle fingers, I was bumping...
