After a bizarre multi-state tour courtesy of the USPS, I am glad it finally arrived in one piece.

Great color. However, I may or may not have had a bad experience or two in my younger days due to poor choices with Irish Ale. So, the name itself still makes me a little ill.

Happy Tele Tuesday everyone. I will not be participating in Washburn Wednesday.

It's a Fender Parallel Universe '51 Telecaster Bass. If you don't want the PJ option and don't mind the road worn finish, there is the Mike Dirnt Precision option too. Sending you a PM on the luthier.

Also, if you are in DFW and need a guitar set up, I may or may not know an amazing luthier who is open as an essential business during these difficult times.... PM for details.

Like others have said, Seagull S6 or Yamaha FG series are your 2 best bets. If possible, I would skip the built in electronics just to save cost. If it's in there, no big deal but why pay for something you won't be using for a while. Both are great guitars that will carry you a long way. Also, as mentioned above, definitely get it set up. Sweetwater is kinda picked over right now on in stock items, but if you reach out to them ask what type of discount they can offer (they will drop the price a bit and ask them for a good beginning player set up. Usually the action is really high out of the box and it can make things more challenging to learn if not set up properly. Don't make things harder than they need to be. It does not cost much and is worth it.) You will also need picks (Fender medium is a good place to start), a tuner (free phone app is fine), and depending on what guitar you get it may not come with a gig bag so you will probably want a case or bag to store it when not playing. Fender Play is actually a really good lesson series for starting out. They make the whole process really approachable. Keep us posted on what you get. And pics are mandatory.

I would wear that. All of it.

Lead knob is actually a stacked volume and then a rear tone knob. I have it 100% Neck, 50% Bridge and rolled back to about 75% tone right now. Still playing with it.

I’ve had it a few days now. I love it. It sounds like thunder. CS 60’s PUPS are relatively hot, but not over the top. Still very classic passive punchy tone. I was worried about the slab body, but it is comfortable and relatively light.

Thank you for this. I always feel like a wuss, but I wait too.

I know nothing about keyboards, but I feel very strongly that this is your best option.

Barn find? Hurricane Harvey guitar? Spanish galleon recovery?

I believe it was $1500 a couple of weeks ago.

https://scottsbasslessons.com There are a lot of emails from his site which can clutter your inbox with training accelerator “offers” and whatnot, but I am still enjoying the courses and seminars. They are well organized and the pace works for me. YMMV. There will be pics. Project sparkle bass is now on permahold though.

I remember that one. It was outstanding. You should totally pass on mine and get that one. Craigslist, once again, does not disappoint. I have politely ignored or passed on several "solid" offers of $500. Lots of ridiculous trade offers. Multiple phishing expeditions... I was briefly tempted by a pristine Music Man Caprice, but I did a thing and it arrives tomorrow, so sales only for now.

No. No, you don't.

Just one more example of outsourcing to our Asian counterparts...

$1300 and whatever it costs to ship.

If you Austin folks will hand sanitize and not breathe on me, I could be talked into meeting half way between DFW and Austin. Not my intent to make this into a sales forum, but I would honestly consider any reasonable offer. If I can get them out of my closet and to someone here, that would be pretty awesome. Now back to the normal scheduled pron.

I just checked GC, I'm WAY overpriced on the Strat. $725 and whatever actual shipping costs? Feel free to lowball away.

Does $900 and what ever it actually costs to ship sound reasonable? I have all of the unused case paperwork, Fender strap and amp cable, case keys, trem etc. It came with a white PG, the mint is a official Fender (if I recall correctly) replacement. I still have the white one I will send with it. It also has added Fender locking tuners replacing the non-locking. I don't have the original non-locking anymore. PM me and I can get some more details to you along with more pics. I'll look it over again, but I really don't think there are any chips dings or dents. The plan was for me to use it and then pass it along to my son once he was ready for something better than his LTD Viper. He moved on to drums and is not interested.

I wanted the PRS build quality but didn't want the 10 Top Dragon's Breath Quilted maple. I am also not a huge fan of the bird fret markers.

You? Probably. When I play it, it sounds like "row, row your boat....." I didn't move to bass because of the higher probability of getting the ladies.

Here are a couple of quick shots. If anyone is interested, PM me. I haven’t even looked at pricing, but there will obviously be a Surly price. We can figure something out. I’m in DFW if anyone is local and CV-19 free who wants to stop by. 2012 PRS Stripped SC58 in Amber Black 57/08 pickups. 2012 American Std. Strat CS Fat 50’s. Oly White.
