Stock strings are D'Addario rounds .45-.100. I just ordered a set of GHS Bass Boomers from Fret Nation .50-.107 to get a stiffer tighter feel from the shorter scale. I'll see how I like those once I've installed them.

I can recall seeing one in a store I dealt with right around that time and thought then that I'd like to own one. But they were around $600 and most of my gear budget went into my bass rig so I had to pass. Many years later after G&L began their Tribute line I bought one. Traded it then...

I don't really have a #1 guitar amp. My 15w Egnater Tweaker head needs to go into the shop to get checked out so I hauled my old war horse '90s Roland Blues Cube out of the gear room and have been using it lately. It's pretty much an all analog SS version of a Fender Tweed Deluxe but with more...

Those old black face Vibroluxes and it's predecessor Vibroverb are some of the best amps Fender ever produced. If someone eventually develops a workable time machine I'm goin' back to the '60s to collect some of that old gear and my '66 Jazz Bass.

I believe I may finally reaching a point where I'll redefine this for myself. But I don't seem quite ready for it yet. My biggest problem is there are a few more pieces I'd like to own but I have very limited space for them. I may have room for one more guitar on that rack but my bass rack...

Nothing wrong with gravitating back to our roots playing bluesier and jazzier stuff now. I was never into metal or shredding anyway but I'm also not interested in playing much bar rock and roll singing Bob Seger, Bad Company, and ZZ Top for the thousandth time. Time to mellow out a bit.

Haven't got a current photo to share right now but I've greatly simplified my pedal boards selling off some of my more valuable ones over the winter. So now I have two boards. One has my Hardwire Tuner, a TC Electronic Booster/Distortion pedal, a TC Hypergravity Compressor, a Nobel ODR-1...

They're also who makes the majority of the strings we buy even under other labels. There are nowhere near as many manufacturers as there are brands.

Amen to that. I've always been a D'Addario guy and they sell my preferred half size 9.5-.44 sets. They just had all of the XL nickel wound strings on sale so I was able to pick up two three packs for a little less than $6 a set. For pure nickel strings I prefer Curt Mangan's. He also sells...

Glad to be here and contribute to yet another small forum of musical gear aficionados. The world needs more general gear forums like this. Some who will come to post here will recognize me from EpiphoneTalk where I've been a member since 2015 and also the forum moderator. I'm also a member in...

Is it the ASAT Special with MFD pickups or the ASAT Classic?

A CS Nocaster that I parted with some years ago. The clone of it that I created was almost as good.
