Doc B Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I've just started a new photography night class and we were told our objective would be to produce 2 still lifes and 2 portraits over the next few weeks. We were then asked to bring in examples of the types of shots we would like to take, and that's where the trouble started. I decided that my 2 basses (Warwick Streamer Std 4 and Status Groove 4 w/graphite neck), Yamaha semi guitar and my Marshall AS50R amp would make ideal subjects for still life. So - off to the guitar shops I went to collect guitar catalogues: Fender, Italia, Vintage, Ibanez and many others - so you can see where this is going! I now want the entire Squier Vintage Modified series of basses and one each of the Italia basses - they are so cool I couldn't possibly choose between them. AAAAAARGH - 18 months GAS free, now this. I also have photography GAS too to top it off. AAAAAARRGH!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame about the wiring issue. My Yamaha AEX500 guitar also has a piezo bridge and neck humbucker combination but with master vol, p/up blend and a 3 band EQ for the piezo but with a single jack socket and it works really well, especially considering I only paid £250 for it!

I want to avoid fresh fruit because I don't like to buy out of season produce grown hydroponically under glass that tastes of nothing and costs too much - which is mostly what you get this time of year. I have some nice whisky bottles, ornaments and other objects to use as well - I don't want to have to pay for my subjects either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
