ASAT. Fender s recent humbuckers are horrible, so Squier s will be the same or worse. I love my Squier JM, but the Duncan-designed bridge p/up was the least exciting pick-up I ve ever heard, apart from the supposed wide-range in my mex Fender custom.

For a cheap-ish secondary guitar with humbuckers what would you go with:A used G&L Tribute ASAT Deluxe or a Squire 70s Classic Vibe Telecaster Deluxe?

Talk me out of this!I've been looking (well, mostly helping someone else shop) for drum machines and the Arturia DrumBrute looks really cool. 606 & 808 sounds, in a big knobby box that probably costs less than the used Roland. I too could program this stuff in EZ Drummer but a real machine would be far more motivating!

Oh yeah the DrumBrute! I tried it before and wasn't crazy about it. It's obviously versatile which I like, but wasn't that intuitive to use without reading the manual. I guess that won't be a problem if I actually got one. I wasn't crazy about the sounds though. They were almost there but not quite. The 606 pretty much always sounds right, but the Arturia is definitely the more sensible choice in 2019.Tommy wrote:Do it.

DOD Gonkulator reish and Carcosa fuzz.

You can switch between programming and play modes while it's still running a pattern. Super unique. I loved mine. Only real downfall was not being able to tune the sounds. Not analog, but the 727 is pretty great with all those latin drum sounds. I really love the 16-step style programming. Maybe I'll buy the newer Roland 808 thing.Best drum machine I've owned was the Oberheim DX. Kinda wish I still had it.

Anyone have a loaded Strat pickguard (s/s/s) they want to sell? Mint or Parchment preferred.
