Mine are probably nothing compared to what you guy's have but they're my babies and I love 'em just the same.

Well, I finally got the pic's of my babies taken.  I took a pic of the Seagull 12 string by itself to show the wood grain.  It and the 6 string Seagull are handmade in Canada from cedar and have a real nice sound.  The classical guitar is the one I use when we jam around a campfire and did let the grandkids play around with it, supervised of course, until we got them a beater guitar.  My favorite is my Takamine acoustic elec though.

My remaining babies:





I also had a 1974 Les Paul Black Beauty Ibanez copy until a few years ago. Should have never let that one get away! :'(

I got rid of my Les Paul 'cause it was to darn heavy.  My Fender Squire might not sound as good but it plays nice and I'm happy with it.

Your Les Paul was too heavy?!? Apparently you haven't strapped that Peavey T-series bass on lately, lol! Those things weigh a TON!

My Peavey Cirrus 6-string bass is pretty heavy, but I use a wide strap, and I play regularly so I guess I'm used to it.

I've never done anything but sit and play around with the bass.  The only bass I've ever stood up and played was an upright at a bluegrass jam I used to go to.  I really enjoyed getting to play that... :yes:  I played a smaller elec one, don't remember what kind it was a small black one, at another open stage bluegrass country thing they used to have at a restaurant in Knightstown.  The upright was a lot more fun but my fingers sure hurt when I got done...lol  There was an older woman named Vi Brooks who talked me into trying it she could really whale on that thing when she was wound up and she was in her early 80's at the time.

That's interesting....I have been looking at EUB's (Electric Upright Bass) lately. I'd like to branch out to upright, but I don't have the "back" for a big double-bass. Heck, I have to take pain meds just to move my bass rig anymore, lol! A EUB might just be the thing!  :yes:

My high school jazz band had an EB0! So I basically learned how to play on one. Not a bad bass guitar at all.

My own bass at the time was a Hondo. The pickups were so cheap that you could sing into them and it would come out the amp! I shi tzu not!

Between me and my daughter, we have the Gibson, a Rick 4001S, a Kramer acoustic and a Grendel.

Now in my prime I had an SG Cherry finish (circa 1973), Les Paul Custom - sunburst finish (1975), along with the Ibanez, and a Marshall Stack for gigs and a Kustom (I forget the model) 2 speaker amp for jammin at home and practice sessions. All the toys to go with them back then too. . . But it got to be a PITA moving that stuff all the time, (I moved a lot in my work back then), and so when my marriage crashed I tanked most of that stuff except for the Ibanez and the Kustom amp, which I had until a few years ago. . .

A buddy of mine once had a Strat that he got at a Richie Blackmore and Rainbow gig. Blackmore tossed it off stage and my buddy ended up with the body. Transferred the guts to his own Strat and I have never heard anything with the punch of that instrument to this day! Wow!
