Joe G Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 As a guitarist, I have to say... I just don't get it. Quote
7/4 Posted February 27, 2006 Author Report Posted February 27, 2006 As a guitarist, I have to say... I just don't get it. It doesn't even have a truss rod! Quote
Sundog Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 I hope that instrument gets played on a regular basis. Maybe some deep-pocketed recording studio owner bought it and intends to put it to good use with his clients. Or a collector in Japan.... (you know the rest of the story) Quote

Jim Alfredson Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 Wow! Holy crap. Dat's a lotta money! That's an understatement. And to spend that kind of cheese on an instrument you can't even see until you get it is a little silly. Quote
7/4 Posted February 27, 2006 Author Report Posted February 27, 2006 $255,100.00? I can do a lot of other things with $255,100.00! Quote
Ron S Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 $255,100.00? I can do a lot of other things with $255,100.00! For one thing, invest it. After 15 years in a mutual fund with an average annual return of 10%, a $255,100 investment would be worth more than $1 million. How much will that shitty old beat-up guitar be worth? Quote
7/4 Posted February 27, 2006 Author Report Posted February 27, 2006 I'd pay off some bills first, with some of the hypothetical $255,100.00. Quote

WD45 Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 Hope the buyer has enough green - most of his feedbacks are for compound hunting bows-n-winches. Quote
Sundog Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 Hope the buyer has enough green - most of his feedbacks are for compound hunting bows-n-winches. Sounds like Ted Nugent bought that baby. Quote
GregN Posted February 28, 2006 Report Posted February 28, 2006 Wow! Holy crap. Dat's a lotta money! That's an understatement. And to spend that kind of cheese on an instrument you can't even see until you get it is a little silly. Yeah, whatever. So, ummm Jimmy, I was wondering...could I borrow a couple hundred thousand. My feedback is at stake here. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted February 28, 2006 Report Posted February 28, 2006 Hope the buyer has enough green - most of his feedbacks are for compound hunting bows-n-winches. Sounds like Ted Nugent bought that baby. Hey, you never know. It could be Uncle Ted. He's definitely got the $$$. Quote

Joe G Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 Check this out: Fretted/fretless guitars Click on the demos; looks like it actually works! Quote
7/4 Posted March 18, 2006 Author Report Posted March 18, 2006 Check this out: Fretted/fretless guitars Click on the demos; looks like it actually works! I've seen this before. When the frets are up, they look like they're nicely crowned like a great fret job. When they're down, you're not going to hear a smooth transition in pitch. Slide along the fretboard and when the fingerboard ends, there's going to be a gap until you hit the top of the fret. I might be wrong, but that's how I see it. I should get my fretless out and apply myself to it, it's been a while and I feel bad about not doing much about that axe. Quote
Joe G Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 I noticed in the six-string demo that the guy was playing it pretty much the same both ways; I would think that with true fretless, the chordal playing he was doing would be pretty difficult. So maybe you're right, and it's more of a "fretless effect". Quote

So maybe you're right, and it's more of a "fretless effect". You always have the option of having a dedicated fretless with fret lines. Not that you can really play in-tune chords on that beast. Diads work best and WTF, do you really need more than two notes to comp? (more experienced musicans are welcome to clear this up for me). Quote
WD45 Posted March 31, 2006 Report Posted March 31, 2006 There is a Sam Goody going out of business walking distance from where I work. I bought an Epiphone EB-0 bass new in the box for $35. Quote
