My very own Fender 84 swamp-ash stratocaster:)
the schecter C-1 is also a great guitar, and every thing with the PRS logo on it and Fender had a model called Katana, but they dont make it anymore...it was the Fender version for flying V Edited by Orez17 - June 30 2006 at 05:55 |

The Manson Guitar Matt Belammy of the Muse uses is insane. It has chaos pad, fretless neck, chromed tuners, everything is top of the line. I would love to get one, but their hard to find and are in limited supply

My Fender Jazz Bass is perfect. Sure, everyone has one, but
for an obvious reason: it's great. They play themselves and they've got
the perfect range of sounds. Not too many options, not to few. Just
right. It balances great, and it's one of the most comfortable basses
to play when seated. The only
thing lacking was a two octave fingerboard, but there is now a Jazz Bass 24, with just that, a two octave fingerboard, so the problem is kind of solved. I also have an old Ibanez ATK600. I found a new one for only about $300 dollars (list price on these were about $800-$900 in Sweden). It had been hanging in the store for ten years, hence the low price. A superb deal though, as the tone is very, very good, and the bass is fun to play. The over-all quality of the bass is excellent, something you would expect from a bass costing at least twice as much. I enjoy fancier stuff like Warwicks, Ibanez Prestiges, Carvins and similair high end basses, but the Fender Jazz Bass will always be my favourite. Because you don't really need anything more than the Jazz Bass can give you. And even the top-of-the-line versions are affordable in comparison to the above mentioned brands. Fender invented the electric bass; they know how to do it right. Edited by Philéas - October 14 2006 at 10:19 |

a single-coil won't ever sound really powerful and fat, except in combination with another one, forming a humbucker. |

IBANEZ RGT42 DX,
ESP KH2... The best you can get is of course a custom guitar, e.g. by ESP or CAPARISON |

Just an update...It's a week & a half later, still loving the Breedlove!...However, since the purchase I've also tried out some "real" Breedloves (a couple of US-made Focus models = my guitar plus another 2 grand...). I don't think they're $2,000 better than the AC25, but you can definitely sense the quality & superior workmanship...Rumor has it that another dealer near me is getting in a couple of used Collings guitars soon...Hmmm, I could sell some of my less-important organs...

Fantastic value...Michael Hedges is finally within reach (sort of)...

The acoustic Ovation has a very distinctive sound, to me it sounds very clear and warm.
I have asked many musicians about Fenders and Gibsons, remarkable that one says the Fender Stratocaster sounds powerful and fat and the other that the Gibson Les Paul sounds powerful and fat, very subjective!
Personally I love the Gibson E175D and Gibson ES345 sound by Steve Howe (Yessongs!) and Rory Gallagher on his Fender Stratocaster.

I dont play but I love how the Les Paul looks... and from what I hear.. how it sounds, too. If I COULD actually play, I'd get a Les Paul or steal Brian May's 'Red Special', heheh...

Tradition Les Paul clones (from China I think)
LTD EC-1000 (made in Korea)
Kramer aluminum necks (I have the 350G) - next best thing to owning a Travis Bean
Bill Lawrence Strats
Parker Fly
recent Ibanez hollow & semi-hollow bodies (AF75, etc) - amazing value for the price!

Carvin is often overlooked, but make great guitars. http://www.carvin.com/products/guitar.php?ItemNumber=CT6M I think both gibson and Fender is overpriced for that build quality. PRS is a great one-trick pony, and framus make some realy butifull guitars. I guess my fav is an old korean strat-copy modded to my specs. you can see it here |

It is said to be the first Test-pressing of the corean release??

This one, because it always sounds great and anyone can play it with very little practice!

I currently use a Brice HBX-406 6 string bass. Considering their only $300 new their better than I thought. However I've never played anything else so I dont know how it compares to the leading Yamaha's, etc. I have read a lot of good things about it on the net but does anyone here know how it compares to other 6 string basses?

I've tried Fenders and Gibsons and ESPs, but I'll never part with my Westone Thunder 1A. Even the 2A and later models seem somehow inferior - and it's a cheap Japanese guitar.
My bass is a Fender Katana. And I wouldn't part with that either |

Especially the 4/12 string double-neck, eh...? Not a fan of the Fender sound, personally (except Gilmour and Trower, of course) - I much prefer the sound of a Gibson Les Paul or SG (overdriven, of course) through a valve Marshall amp. Then again, I don't play the guitar, so what do I know...? I do know what consitiutes bad guitar design, however... |
