Re: The Guitar Topic - B
Patrick:
Yeah, well, boo hiss. Otherwise they're beautiful instruments, classic styling and everything. But shit, dude. It's the difference between a Gibson bucker (we all know what that sounds like) vs. the same pickups that were recorded on "Mr. Brightside". Love that song or hate it, that guitar tone is unmistakable.
Then again, so are *real* Starcasters.
Kwaping:
So I almost picked up a cheap Squier Bass package (with Rumble 15 amp) at the GC sale yesterday. They didn't have any in stock or I totally would have impulse-purchased that for $250.
What's it like, going from guitar to bass? I might still seek out that package with today's fresh GC coupon. The neck of that jazz bass I tried felt really, really nice.
valley_parade:
Oh man yeah. Jazz Bass necks are so nice feeling.
Switching over is definitely something that takes a little bit of time. I'd almost suggest starting off with a short-scale bass first, like a Mustang.
Melodic:
I dunno man, I found the transition stupidly easy. If you can play guitar, 90% of the skill-set is already there. I moved from guitar straight into a long-scale P-Bass and didn't have any troubles.
(That said, I've always wanted a short-scale bass. Punk rawk, man.)
Also Patrick, what the shit is wrong with Gibson buckers? Wanna fight?
valley_parade:
I think the argument he's making is that compared to the original Wide Ranges, the ones Fender are making now for a variety of products (MIM/Squier/AVRI '72 Customs and Deluxes, John 5 Triple Deluxe, Lee Ranaldo JM) are nothing more than a standard 'bucker, like the ones that Gibson makes, in a fancy case.
