Off the beaten (guitar) path
Chad K.:
Just got in the Roadstar bass I ordered and it is amazing! It is an '84, not an '82 as represented, which is fine. It is one strange bass. The neck plays exactly like a soundgear I got when they first came out; it's very thin and tapers heavily. Compared to my other basses, it feels like a toy, which makes for some super-fast runs. Also, although it has a huge body, and an enormous DiMarzio humbucker, the sound is very trebly, and remionds me a little of a piccolo bass sound. It's got huge articulation. I haven't been to my band's practice site to run it through my rig and fiddle with an amp EQ, but all in all it was a great buy. I highly recommend one to any bassists looking for something a little different.

Idunno guys, I kindof like the way my SG sounded going through my Marshall.
I do, however, have a GORGEOUS '53 Kay acoustic (with the Airline-style set bridge). I found her on eBay around this time last year, and my old man ended up getting it for me for Christmas. He and I had to refinish her and reset the bridge (the previous owner was a jackass and didn't know what he was doing), and I recently had to add more shims under the neck bolt joint, but eventually she learned how to play right.
I've also got a Johnson Strat copy that I got signed by Bo Diddley, and I plan on modding her until she plays better than a Fender American Strat.

ImRonBurgundy? hit the nail right over the head pretty fast.
'cept it's not Westwood, it's Eastwood Guitars, and they are one of my favorite companies. They specialize in reissuing quirky '60s shit. Teiscos, Airlines, Maps. But these aren't plastic, they're made of real wood and built with quality.
Dillion Guitars is nice for high-quality clones. Also they make some fun see-through guitars out of lucite.

I'm really digging some of those Dillons.
