What Guitar would a Bassist grab?

[StickyDBRmf]

An answer to another post, but, for myself, as a bassist, and a Stickist, the guitar I want to grab when I grab a guitar is...A Stratocaster.

I don't have to add any qualifications as to why.

At this point.

So, what is it, girls & boys, when you reach for a six string - the guitar - the one.

Answer the question

A Strat, they’re the guitars I play best, but has to have a humbucker in the bridge.

[Mykesbass]

P Bass = Telecaster.

[steantval]

Strat or PRS.

[kodiakblair]

No idea how to play a guitar but I'd love one like this.

I have many guitars (and basses, and drums...), but this is my finest 6-string, for me, with a long history.

I have several guitars including an Epiphone Sheraton but if I had the money my #1 choice would be...

I find the Strat easiest to play. Yet to try a Gibson of any kind though 

[BassAgent]

My Tele.

[Newfoundfreedom]

Les Paul for me. There's something comforting and familiar about the weight and bulk.

If I picked up a guitar I would have to take a bath in bleach straight after as I would just feel so... dirty.

Don't conflate guitars with guitarists 

[Skybone]

I'd be between a Les Paul or an SG.

 

However, I own 2 Ibanez Iceman (Icemen? Though one's been commandeered by my son).

Gibson SG for me. In red, of course. My budget didn't stretch to a genuine Gibson though, and anyway I had it chopped around to mandolin tuning.

 

I can play 6-string, but not very well. I had to for my end of year assessment, so I recorded each chord I needed, then edited them together with Logic. 🤫

For most of the last decade I played a marauder, stupidly sold it to a mate when I was struck down with covid thinking I’d never recover and he wouldn't sell it back to me when I could afford it. Heartbroken and can’t afford another now.

Before I came to my senses and moved to four strings I was a Telecaster man.

Fender Jaguar for me.

 

Offsets ftw.

Good question.  The work bonus is due to be paid with this month’s salary.  I have 4 basses (I’ve discovered the perfect number is 3.5), and enough pedals to be going with, so some of the bonus will go on a guitar.  I’ll let you know what the answer is when I’ve bought it.

My six string - but it still would be bass - could be a Linc Luthier.

 

I do like the looks of some older semi acoustic jazzes, like L-5, Byrdland, D'Angelicos and similar.

[tauzero]

James Tyler Variax, either the JTV59 (Les Paulish, twin humbuckers if not using emulation) or JTV69 (Stratish, twin single coil plus humbucker). They generally get used for acoustic emulation.

[LowB_FTW]

I have a Tanglewood Les Paul copy, but I would dearly love a Firebird guitar.

[Linus27]

I'd also go for a Telecaster like this.

 

[nilorius]

Stratocaster.

[Woodinblack]

Gibson Firebird VII

Assuming I can have whatever I want, as I don't have one.
