What do you play?

Musicians friend, I swear by it. They are always having 15% off sales too. I don’t think it is possible to consistently beat their prices.

Hey guys thanks for all the advice. I am currently googling Alfred Music publishing, while scouring craigslist and planning a trip to my local pawnshops and music stores. Seriously thanks, I will look into all these possibilities.

Avoid pawn shops. I have seen a lot of guitars priced over musicians friends new price. I have never heard of firebrand,.

Musiciansfriend.com owns Music123.com, they run different specials, I bought my bass amps etc from music 123 because they did free shipping whereas MF did not.

Tell me your budget, and I can scout for you.

Here, nothing against the package mentioned above. BUT, this is a very good guitar in the sense of utility. If anything needs to be done later you can do it yourself, get tusque bridge, grover tuners, and some good pegs, and you will be all set. I wouldn’t buy a package deal just because of an instruction book or DVD, the internet is a very powerful resource.

@JohnnyFriday   Thanks for all the links and time taken to put them up. That Yamaha looks good.

How have I missed this thread.

I primarily play bass, but also play keys, harmonica, some vocals, guitar, mandolin, lap dulcimer, saxaphone, kazoo, ehhehehee

I play in a local variety act here in NC mix of country, rock, dance.  www.spiveyscornerband,com

Also play in a Black Sabbath tribute band named Bloody Sabbath.  I am Geezer of course…

@Postup, there is nothing at all wrong with ephones, they are legit.  I have an ej200 and a casino.  There are a lot of folks who buy Epi LPs and change the p-ups and tuners and basically get a gibson for 800 instead of 2800.

Mostly mandolin, ibanez electric when I want to feel the floor vibrate. Neil Young songs, mostly.

Mridanga (drum) , Flute, Cello and a bit of (bad) Piano.

I’ll give you guys ONE GUESS as to what I play… :wink:

I play WARWICK FORTRESS MASTERMAN FIVE STRING
WARWICK THUMB BASS 5
WARWICK CORVETTE $$ 4 string

GALLIEN KRUEGER 410 cab

Once opened for Chilli Peppers and Primus

I sang professionally for several years (musical theatre, classical, barbershop quartet), but stuck to the occasional karaoke bar these days. Dabble in guitar and bass just for fun, but I’m not very good haha.

I play violin, piano, guitar, bass guitar, saxophone and trombone

Update: after nearly five months of playing my (basically) no-name acoustic guitar, I’m already getting the itch to upgrade. My current ax is a perfectly adequate instrument, my only complaint is that, if I had it to do over, I’d buy something smaller than a dreadnought. So, last Saturday, I went to the guitar shop that many consider to be the best in town. Spent a couple of happy hours playing beautiful Taylors, Washburns, and Breedloves in parlor and orchestra sizes, and talking shop with the friendly owner, who is a walking encyclopedia of guitar lore. Now I’m trying to figure out if I can stretch the budget enough to afford a particularly gorgeous Breedlove (the Passport OM/MMe, if you’re curious) that I fell in love with. *sigh* Looks like I have a new acquisition disorder to go along with snuff, pipes and pipe tobacco. 8-|

If you ever hear a concert bass (tuba) on a sultry st paul summer night drifting on the breeze, then you know its me and i am too drunk to care what my Hmong neighbors think

Guitar, bass guitar and keyboards. I’ve now gone off at a tangent and bought an Irish Bouzouki - amazing sounds.

1994 G&L ASAT Guitar 2010 G&L SB-2 Bass

The fiddle… well… I used to play fairly well but I haven’t picked it up for 2 or 3 years now. Need to get my bow re stringed.

Yamaha CG220 classical guitar. One day I’ll upgrade to a Candelas. In the past played clarinet, oboe and cello.

always wanted to play cello. but instead play guitar and banjo.

@dakotas, I used to play the cello. It is an awesome instrument.
