Hi peeps Im Phil, not a bassist although I do have one, a cheapo ebay electro acoustic bass which Ive used to lay down a bit backing while experimenting with new sounds and styles on my guitars which are all Fenders. Came across your site while searching the web for a local tech to set the truss rod on my newest addition an origonal early American Stratacoustic, now thanks to one of your members (cheers Michael) I have the phone number of the right man for the job, you never know one day I might decide to learn the bass properly (if my fingers stretch lol) so I may become a regular, thats if us six string boys are welcome?
Phil.

BC delivers! Welcome to the forum Phil!


Stratacoustic? Do tell (and show).

Welcome indeed! Yes, pics of the Stratacoustic would be very interesting - I've never seen one of the originals.

Here it is guys, sorry but Im not very good with a camera! very much like the standard squier stratacoustics but it says Fender instead and the internal sticker marks it as a USA Fender Corp. instrument, also worth the soundboard is a very heavily grained wood which is noticeable through the finish unlike the Squier Stratacoustic which has a very smooth glass fibre top, this example has seen better days with a few dings and a neck that looks like a mechanic with oily hands has been playing it but in time I will have it looking ok, the tone of this stratacoustic is very nice plugged or unplugged, thanks for the welcome and the interest.
