They didn't let me in and I am Grizzly Adams.They let anyone in that looks like Grizzly Adams.
The original models were under the Les Paul line, but broke away long ago. That is why the early SGs (the 61 specifically) are so sought after as they have a different pots and pickup wiring scheme that was closer to the old LPs. But the wood, neck, body and headstock are different and as such resonate much differently than the LP. The pickups are also different now. The LP is a heavier and thicker guitar and probably has better sustain in some ways. But the SG is much more versatile and I find easier to play due to a thinner neck and more accommodating fret spacing, especially in the middle area of the neck.So (technically) you do play a Les Paul then?
I wouldn't know... mines a Schecter.
Smells like is not the same as "is"...They didn't let me in and I am Grizzly Adams.
Where do you stand on Strats and Teles? (I don't mean like Hendrix or Townsend.)
I always say "you don't play a Strat.. it plays you." Not a big fan of them. Sound wise they are fine, but I find them cumbersome to play. Teles are the same to me. But if you want a nice country twang, nothing better than a Tele. In other words, I am not a big fan of Fender guitars. Their amps, however, I think are the best, especially for the style I play. I use a Blues Junior that's been mod'd to force it to break up sooner so it'll get a little nastier than a stock BJ will. I also replaced the ill conceived plastic jack receptacle with a metal one and switched out the red indicator for a blue one. I also wired it with a line out as that is not standard in a BJ. Small boutique amp (only 15 watts), but it sounds so good it's amazing.
This isn't total recall mind you, but when I started doing equipment for them the band I was with had a two Kustom amps (bass, I think), and two Fender amps, one each for lead and rhythm. Then they bought Marshall's, which had just come out and which I assume loud bands wanted.
I had a Kustom 100watt amp I sold a couple years ago. I used it for bass, but it was billed as a keyboard amp.
I kind of look at it like this: Fenders have an amazing clean tone and the BEST reverb. They also break up and can sound pretty nasty, but still their pure, loud clean tone is WHY people love them. If you need metal, then put a pedal on it. They take pedals better than Marshalls, IMO. Marshalls have a better natural distortion than Fender, but their clean tone isn't as glassy and smooth as Fender. And you also have to clarify if you;re talking American wired Marshalls or the original British wiring, which is what serious pros use. And are $$$$$.
But I love Marshall amps too. How mnay great songs have flowed through a Les Paul into a Marshall? A LOT.
The bass player for the band I was with bought his Marshall not long after they first became abailable, so maybe it was the British wiring. I'm not certain why he wanted the Marshall instead of something else. I think it might've been that he'd been using the Fender cabinet and the rhythm guy was using the Kustom cabinet.
Well bass is another thing entirely. Many guitar players that play old style blues, etc., want the '59 Fender Bassman as an amp. I've never cared for them myself.
How many bass players does it take to change a light bulb?
1, but they need a guitar player to show them how
My friend Jimmy Cobb was the bass player. He ended up with Starbuck. He's a great guy. Radar, the band I keep referring to, is doing reunion shows now. There's one scheduled in April. I can't commit to going to it though due to a friend may need me to help with a funeral.Well bass is another thing entirely.
