The Bassist and Guitarist thread

I'll see your Beano album and raise you a Stumble! Always preferred Peter Green to Slowhand, although after his strange disappearance Green was never the same again.

You can probably sort that out with a jigsaw and some sanding.

Time to listen to some Larkin Poe, not quite the same, but any excuse is worthy:

Love steel guitar

Love steel guitar

Nah - it works much better to do it the conventional way, using your hands!

You beat me to it!

Daft question coming up ... you can get fretless basses, what about standard guitars?
I seem to remember seeing one but it might have been an acoustic bass.

There have occasionally been fretless electric guitars, but almost without exception, custom one-offs.

Steve Vai has been known to play one...

...the bottom one is the fretless

Been channeling my inner Albert Lee this afternoon. A chap I used to play in a rockabilly band with back in the day is putting a few songs together for a project and has been looking for some "twang". Haven't played the electric in a while, but it's been fun. Hardest thing is trying to come up with something that fits. Hopefully be able to post it here sometime if my parts pass muster.

Which guitar will you be using for that?
