ras52 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Yum yum... these all look tasty and very keenly priced: just the thing for a bassist who dabbles? Any others that might get my saliva flowing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dincz Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Something in a similar vein: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/209005-ngd-what-treble-guitars-on-a-bass-site-whatever-next/page__view__findpost__p__2095656 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 My son's first electric guitar was the Epiphone SG Special with the same pickup and controls arrangement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panamonte Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Slightly different vibe, but I can recommend these: [url="http://s1187.photobucket.com/user/panamonte/media/GLTS-ASTDCT-TRNSBLK-1200%201.jpg.html"][/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ras52 Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) ^^^ very nice! I'm something of a G&L-lover (I went for a JB-2 rather than a Jazz). It's a shame there aren't many opportunities to try out their gear on these shores. Edit: just checked the spec and it's got coil-tapping too.... it's a bit of a box-ticker!

The humbucker/single coil option makes it very versatile and the neck's good - plays really well. I bought mine 18 months ago from Thomann and they're now selling them for nearly £100 less than I paid!!!! Like you, I was already a G&L convert (I've got a Tribute L2000) and I really don't think you can go wrong with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brensabre79 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 +1 for telecaster, If it has to be humbuckers, then the '72 thinline's are awesome. I have a 1980s Fender one, but they recently brought out a Squier VM model for under £400. As a bass player, there's just something right about Tele's (like a P-Bass) I can't play the shorter scale Gibson's etc. not enough string tension for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Thanks iiipopes Not on a Gibson, But have played a beautiful jazz guitar with flat wound 11s on. It was a Fender too (D'Aquisto)! Had an ibanez 335 copy with 10s that was OK, but traded it for my Tele and haven't looked back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ras52 Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) Fender are doing a Special Edition Tele, HH with coil taps and no scratch plate. Very nice... Looks like a G&L ASAT 😊 Edited November 20, 2015 by ras52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
