Bassist here.

I play a fender mark hoppus sig (got it in a trade) strung with flats, an Indiana acoustic bass, and my custom rubber ducky fretless.

the ducky:

This is the design for my next build:

here's a picture of my bass

by 'my bass' I mean one of the most beatiful ever created and wish I were so lucky as to own it.

 

[no1likesme]

I have never been a huge fan of CT basses design.

and BTW: what is up with the frets on that thing? half way through a re-fret?

 

[Stef1966]

Oh well, I'll post them on this thread since i cant access the other one, i figure they belong more here anyways cause no one would understand them unless they too have tried (or hoped) to make it big in the music bizz at some point in their life.

I only made two and using the same frame, here's the first one:

it's actually a fretless. . .

EDIT: Carl Thompsons are typically a love em or hate em deal. I've met lots of people who think they are the ugliest things on earth.

Which neck is that? I always dug the hello kitty hardtail and the badtz maru bronco but the frets where/are awful.

 

[Maveric777]

I been keeping an eye on those Hello Kitty (well a Strat Squire one) for my youngest here lately. She is only 6 but shows a lot of interest so I may be picking one up in a couple of years.

 

[Maveric777]

Anyone else play CBG's (Cigar Box Guitars)? I am not a super huge Blues fan, but I do love the old school type blues. I seen a guy playing one and decided I wanted one. After not being very impressed with a lot of them I seen for sale online I decided to start building my own. Turns out I am better at building them than playing them....lol.

Here is my first one I ever built. I even built the pick up.....

Guess I could join in on this thread...

I've got way more guitars than I need, and I just pulled the trigger on another one.

Check out the one that I just bought:

NEW DEAN CADILLAC KILL CANNIBAL CORPSE ELECTRIC GUITAR - eBay (item 310123077495 end time Feb-23-09 19:27:51 PST)

Dig the inlays on this one... Is that not the most wiked thing you've ever seen ? Probably not the kind of thing most of you go for, but for me its especially cool since its a "Cannibal Corpse" custom job. That makes it a double score. A score for my guitar collection and a score for my Cannibal Corpse memorabillia collection.

Whats the most recent song you guys learned how to play ?

I nailed Hotel California a few weeks ago. Now I'm working on Hendrix's version of "Come On".

 

[Dotneck]

I've been known to pluck a few...just for fun. Here are some of my favorites...mostly play flatops anymore but once in a while I fire up the Dotneck with a blackface Princeton Reverb...

 

[Stef1966]

Nobody but me has a myspace page for their original stuff on here?

I'm working on Great Big Sea's new album, Fortune's Favor... at least the traditional songs on it and some Ron Hynes songs.

We do the kitchen party thing when family comes over and summer camping trips end up as a céilidh.

Which neck is that? I always dug the hello kitty hardtail and the badtz maru bronco but the frets where/are awful.

Its got a carvin 22 fret maple neck (tung oil finish), ebony freboard, jumbo frets, abalone dot inlays, schaller locking tuners, dimarzio super distortion pup. Ready and willing to rock!! It actually plays real well with the neck on there... super comfortable guitar. The stock neck felt like a kiddy toy, lousy nut, lousy tuners, lousy frets, lousy fretboard... i pretty much hated everything about that neck but the body kills! HA!

 

[Bopper]

Just bought a new Martin MMV. LOVE it. Old axe is a mid 90's Yamaha FG411. I used to play in a band but have sold all that gear. Have been playing since 1995.

Most recent song I'm working on nailing is Tears in Heaven

Rhythm portion of Sultan's of Swing...:rockin:

 

[Freezeblade]

I've got a old neck-thru BC rich Mockingbird, sunburst finish that I tool around with, but my main axe is tenor sax.

 

[GregR]

the last one I learned (I play bass [sort of]) was gang Control by leftover crack. I'm still a little slow on it in some parts but for the most part I have it. Im trying to nail Southbound Pachyderm by Primus now.
