Susanne: "Aren't they lovely!"

wow. . .is it time for this? I haven't photographed my "collection" in quite sometime, so I guess it's about time. What are the rules? Do banjos and upright basses count? How about amplifiers?

Since it's for science. . .i'll do it (kentothink, you may have to help me). . .it may take me until the end of the week, though. Can I do groups?

Wow.

I hope you will all join me in a moment of silence.

Our own inverseroom, our defacto mascot, court jester, and electronics tinkerer is coma bound after a bioneuromechanical-mixer experiment went horribly awry.

He did not lose consciousness immediately, for he had this to say:

inverseroom wrote:Man, I just don't know how this happened. I was playing the guitar and then all of a sudden, whammo! I'm kinda having trouble typing--I think this thing is affecting my motor skills. Any ideas?

It's a Neutrik NYS 224, if that helps.

I choose to remember him like we all did. Here is a picture he was very proud of. I'll let him explain it in his own words:

inverseroom wrote:Ha haaahhhh Trodden I love that pic!!

I agree as well about Raymond's mustache. And Roger is very brave to post the Parker Fly pic.

This is definitely the coolest photo of me ever taken. It was shot at Electro-Music 2007 by Hong Walzer...I'm playing here in my electronica duo The Bemus Point. You can make out both my Ebow and the corner of my Fracrack modular on the left...

I have a standing request with the head nurse at the hospital's icu that if he wakes she is to immediately ask him what guitar he's using in that picture. Lady gave me the weirdest look. Huh, medical types..

this is the only guitar i've owned since I was 17 (16 years). Gibson 335 "studio" no "f" holes. after owning a candy apple red charvel for a couple of years, i wanted to move onto something more my "style" almost went for an SG in the same color, but fell in love with the 335. The guys at the store gave me a great deal since i had been taking lessons there for a couple of years.. i had to sling a lot of tacos at Taco Johns for my axe, love it.

I make sure i date girls who have, or have roommates who have an acoustic guitar to play on.

I do have a cheapo j-bass that needs some tlc though.

I have a 93 musicman stingray fretless 5 string

and an Ovation Magnum circa? Its serial b0248, which I am told puts it close to the first year they were made. I have had it since 1986 and its the best sounding and playing bass I have ever found. It just has this snarling clang that nothing else does.

I also have an all plastic Applause Ovation style acoustic, with a metal neck!
and a Peavey Predator Plus as my 6 stringers.

recently got rid of my Tobias, too clean sounding.

I'm a bass player --

79 Fender Precision, Antigua finish (the ugliest Fender ever made), oxidized brass pickguard, DiMarzio PU (it made the other bass players in 1986 or so envy my tone)

80-ish Guild AF301 factory fretless, one PU. Wish I had picked up a fretted 2-pickup Guild before they got overpriced

90's Jerry Jones baritone

1900-ish German flatback upright

NS Wav4 electric upright.

-- I really am a bass player, but also love guitars: --

80's Japanese Tele, 1962 reissue (the one I'd keep if I could keep one. Barden and Duncan PU's)

80's Westone Standard (les paulish, DiMarzio Superdistortion PU, sounds great, I'll never need a Gibson)

late 50's Gretsch Single Anniversary, smoke green (Ebay find, original PU gone, so it's got a GFS gretsch-a-like. I also found a Gretsch logo bigsby -- can't have a Gretsch archtop without a bigsby)

-- acoustics --

Tacoma Papoose -- love it. Sweet tone tuned to A or G, pick it up all the time

Gibson j-50 -- Factory second, circa 1971, these are supposed to suck but mine doesn't. People like it. No sparkle, but nice low/mid. Needs bridge work soon.

-- Christ. --

also an Eastman mandolin

and a mother-of-toilet-seat green 6 string lap steel.

-- I've had decent day jobs for years and used to be married to a singer/songwriter, we enabled each others' instrument habits.
