Fender Presicion Bass-USA-looks kind of like this

Amanda reminded me that in the last few years, I put together my Assquire.
It's an Esquire style guitar for stupid/loud rock.

Fender Geddy Lee Jazz with a Audere preamp
Fender Precision
Squire Vintage Modified Fretless Jazz, a very nice bass for not much money

a sango... yea i've never seen one anywhere else... my dad played it as a kid in the 70s, and gave it to me when i was a kid. i suppose it's old, but i like the sound. if i had the money for a nice new guitar i'd probably just get a new amp instead, or extra effects.

For $175?

shit, yeah.

WOOOO!

Now send it to me

1983 Ibanez Roadstar II series bass. Looks just like this one, same color and everything:



Pickup has been replaced with a Bartolini jazz bass set, the inside mounting flanges sawed off so the pickups sit right next to each other like a regular humbucker.

For whatever reason this is the bass that has worked best for me for a long time now. I like it a lot. Cheapest bass I own and the only one I really play. I'm coming off a period of flirtation with a high end Warwick. It mostly sits in the closet now. Thinking of stringing it up B-E-A-D.

I currently have a 1992 American Telecaster, tobacco sunburst
and
an All Parts Tele copy. It's made quite well and I usually prefer it to the real one. it's cream in color. The pickups are Rio Grande, I believe. They are very warm. Better than the stock USA single coils. I'm not a gear head and don't know pickup stuff like I should, but these are very nice sounding.
Playing them through a Rivera Knucklehead and Marshall 2 12 cabinet.

I've got an 80s korean squier. I was at a guitar shop one day and I saw it for 130 bucks, picked it up and my hands fell in love. I bought it, sold my highway 1 strat and upgraded the pickups.

Apparently, some people think the first korean squiers were made from the leftover parts of the mid 80s japanese squiers. This sounds right, I have the same gotoh tuners and string trees on the headstock as my friend's MIJ fender. The neck is finished and very slim, super high quality, I love it. Some people say their's have plywood bodies, but mine was a couple of pieces of alder.

In any case, if you ever stroll on upon a E10XXXXXX korean strat, pick it up and try it.

Here's almost the exact same one, but red, on ebay:




For comparison, most of the shitty squiers have these tuners and unfinished necks:

and a Tele squire that sounds like this:

all through a reverbrocket and an Ampro P.A. from 1940 or something....

I play a really terrible guitar, or rather, I play guitar terribly. I can't blame it on the guitar. It's an Epiphone les paul.
