oh... oh... this makes me wanna play... play a self-amplified guitar, while I'm lounging in sun shining through this office window.
reitze! While I could get into how your guitars are progressing, and they really are looking better all the time,
I have to get into that clear plastic guitar you showed.
The first clear plastic guitars I saw were basses built by Dan Armstrong, a bit of a fad amongst bassists in the early seventies.
Going to Toronto to see jazz bands and other recording acts back then, the only bassists I saw playing electric who sounded acoustic,
were these two New York jazz bassists with Dan Armstrong guitars, using the same Ampeg amp.
The New York musicians union got Ampeg to build a bass amp to put into New York recording, t.v. and radio stations,
to build a New York standard for bass recording and broadcasting.
These were the ones with the lid on top to flip around to get at the electronics, with a fifteen inch bass speaker.
The one time I saw one of those for sale I should have bought it. I've never seen another, even if I'm still hearing them.
That's as much of a serious compliment I can give a solid body electric, especially a bass, that it can sound and play as an acoustic.
When I was fronting the only hard rock trio I've ever been in, I felt sorry for the bassist, who was a good guitarist too.
He sang lead and fronted other bands playing guitar, but wanted to play bass to start a band with me and a friend, a drummer.
So I asked him if he wanted to sing and play a Z.Z. Top set, something he wanted to do, and we were getting Z.Z. requests.
But I didn't want to use his bass upside down, a full-scale Fender Precision, because it would stretch out my fingers,
something I went through before having a bass, so I wanted something small scale, and was lucky to find a Dan Armstrong right away.
That was good for my fingers, but it was also interesting to change the pickups and fool around, they just slid in and out, plugging in.
Yeah, that's the Instigata in me, mentioning plug'n'play pickups, and the motivator, suggesting a solid plastic guitar.
And please, reitze, please, build a showcase model. Please, get a Bose or something similar speaker, tiny, but the best.
And use a Dremel tool, not Job Mate, to carve out your body cavities and holes, so there's no rough edges.
I know you know I know you know, eveything you're doing is taking you and your abilities out there farther, and farther,
farther than I'll ever look around online to know,
but having a showcase model is something you might need now, as a presentation piece, something worthy of further fame.
Everything I'm typing here about electric basses is built on comparing with a '62 Fender Jazz bass a best friend owns,
what was the best bass for me until I tried a Dan Armstrong.
Yes, fame, I can use that word associated with you, seeing others' comments and your constantly renewing presence online.
But I have to mention, Wilmer X reminded me that inventing a new paradigm of electric guitar is better than rebuilding other guitars.
So I have to cling to my claim of invention and the performance of my semi-solid-body, for my own sense of persona,
even if I'm not renewing myself with videos or pics, just yet.
So enjoy the John Watt lull, cause you'll get John Watt lull-a-buyed before you know it.
This is a semi-solid-body acous-stick it to you challenge.
And looking out this window, I think these bright, white clouds are moving over your New York location.
... happy new year. Here's a video I uploaded last night with my new super best friend which is still fuggin ugly but out-plays anything else so its the one getting my time ever since that post above. BTW, happy new year!
