Rich Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 I'm not a guitarist, not even slightly. But if I was, there's three guitars I'd want: a beaten up old natural Tele, a Parker Fly Artist, and a D'Angelico New Yorker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geek99 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 You could misread the title as “what guitarist would a bassist grab by the throat?”. Any, probably 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBollock Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 I own the Cort Flying V, Dean Cadillac, Ibanez RG7321, Encore electro-acoustic and a classical style, nylon strung thing from the Kay’s catalogue. I would love a BC Rich Warlock. Especially a clear acrylic bodied one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stub Mandrel Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 I have a few nice guitars, made this using a squier neck and a Northern Guitars body blank. Got some secret sauce (e.g. di Marzio stacked humbucker from about 1985). But I'd probably choose my recently refretted 1976 Epiphone jumbo acoustic or my brother's 1962 SG Junior. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 (edited) It’s so weedy and small … (not knocking the craftsmanship @Stub Mandrel though aesthetically it would look better still by being larger and with two less strings) Edited August 8 by Geek99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauzero Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 11 hours ago, StickyDBRmf said: I said, "the one guitar". Bass players. I realised that there are two valid answers for me, depending on circumstances. My original answer of a James Tyler Variax (probably the 69), but that's for when I'm going out with a guitar to an open mic or the like. When just playing in the house, it's the Eko Ranger 6 which is also the musical instrument I've had the longest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwillett Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 At this moment in time, I'd grab my MIK 89 Telecaster. Butterscotch yellow and just so much fun to play, even if the neck pickup is a black hole of muddy sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterscotch yellow and just so much fun to play, even if the neck pickup is a black hole of muddy sound Ha ha, know what you mean. I quite like the neck pickup on a Tele, and also the struggle of setting up an amp to cope between the massive difference in tone they offer on neck and bridge pickups! Great guitars once you can get that sweet spot though. If your Tele front pick up is as bad as you describe, maybe it needs some attention? I have a Baja model Tele and it is fairly lively on all settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwillett Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 The neck pickup isn't quite as bad as I make out. It needs something like a little Champion 600 or Tweed to make it sound good. Basically anything without any bass at all 😊 I run it into either a Mod Dwarf, Logic Pro or Amplitube. It sounds good in Amplitube as that's a Fender product. I do keep thinking I'll have a look at the neck pickup and do something, though no idea what. I probably have a few pickups that would work and I still have to finish my Guitar Pickup Winder which is languishing on my desk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
