Guitars anyone???

[louisbosco]

there's something about a fretless bass that makes it really sexy..

[NorK]

That's what I thought when I saw it on sale in december… Don't know how to play it but it sounds so good 

[chiverus]

Love the stingray @NorK

[NorK]

Thanks @chiverus, my only merit is to own it but I love it ! Needs some practice to play in tune, and it hurts my right fingers compared to a pick, even with flatwounds

Fixed it 
Denim anyone?

Lusting after one of these lately. I need another guitar like I need another IH western, but…

I guess pics will have to come later, but I'll just list some gear for now:

Guitars:
1959 Gibson ES-355 (Cherry)
2004 Fender Telecaster Deluxe (Cherry burst, converted to esquire with Peter Florance Voodoo TE59 in bridge)
2006 Fender USA Telecaster (Sunburst)
2015 Fender American Standard Stratocaster (White w/ mint pickguard)

Guitar amps:
1954 Gibson GA-75
1960's Silvertone 1481
1978 Fender Deluxe Reverb

Basses:
1975 Gibson Grabber (Natural)
1979 Gibson G-3 Grabber (Sunburst)
2002 Fener Mark Hoppus Precision (Seafoam)

Bass Amps:
Orange AD200B
Orange 115
1962 Ampeg B-15n

Effects:
Big Board- Guitar > Dunlop Volume X (ST-300 Mini out) > JHS Morning Glory > JHS Superbolt > Sovtek Tall Font Russian Muff > Strymon El Capistan > Strymon Blue Sky > Amp

Small Board- Guitar > Sonic Research ST-300 Mini > Ceriatone Centura > Strymon Flint > Amp

Bass is just plugged into the ST-300 and then into the amp. No frill, no fuss.

This list would have been drastically different pre-covid. Gotta pay those bills, though.

All original. No reissues. The '59 was purchased by my great granddad in January 1960. Have the original receipt.

Everything else I acquired over the years. I used to sell and trade records a lotttt as well as hifi stereo and music gear, so much of this I got in trades and such.

I've had lots of other gear, but in the last year really pared everything down to just the essentials.

Also, I'm always down to trade gear for IH stuff! Except for the '59 and the B-15.

Yeah I’m gonna need to see a pic of the 355 @chrisjohnnick      Sounds like my mom’s old guitar, she had a 59 or 60 I think.

[AdamJ]

Ditto the above, an original '59!!!!

[chrisjohnnick]

[chrisjohnnick]

Have the pickguard taken off and in the case. Here's the receipt:

[NorK]

Nice, that's some history you've got here  ???

[chiverus]

Excellent posts lately!^

Here's a gigging pedalboard I put together so I don't have to lug around my huge boards. It's not tiny but it's much more maneuverable than my other monster boards. This is 24"x12" compared to the big 36"x18". This way I can just leave the huge boards where they are: One at home and one at the basement dungeon.

I really like how this turned out. Home testing is done and sounds great. It's ready for a rehearsal on Sat.

It's got all my essentials: loop switchers for front of amp and effects loop, Sennheiser wireless, Digitech Drop, wah, overdrive, boost, volume boost, volume, delay, reverb, noise reduction. Plus a few wildcards: ricochet, flanger, chorus, tremelo.
