This is just sort of a thread to discuss musical instruments, songs, debate, favorite instrument, etc. I will start.

Well, yeah, I play bass guitar and am self taught. I consider myself pretty good knowing a few songs within a few months, amongst my life's constant chaos. I believe people constantly put down the bass, just because you can't play some guitar solo does not mean it is not a bad instrument. I use a Fender J bass but have my eyes set on the Nixxi Sixx and Steve Harris custom models, and a Gibson cherry-wood EB-O.

And you all? :|

I find that if I don't have a signature, some people disregard the last couple of lines of a long post.

Play a Standard Gibson Les Paul, Fender "Squire II" Stratocastor and an old acoustic my roomate found in the trash with a missing string. Got a Digitech RP70 digital effects processor and a Marshall "Lead 100 Mosfet" amplifier with a 4/12 Jackson cabinet. Dunlop Tortex  .88 mm picks all the way, I go through about 20 picks a week.
There is no knowledge that is not power.

There are other manufacturers than Fender and Gibson.  I personally prefer G&L.  Or EBMM's high-end stuff.

I have a Takamine electric/acoustic, which I bought because "Hey, if I'm spending multiple hundreds of dollars on a guitar I might as well get one that doesn't require an amp."

It's beautiful, I love it.

I also play piano, a Knabe. Quality stuff.

Granted, but they are the top dogs, and besides, as I said before, i am yet to find an efficient bass made by any other company but the two, being my bass if from Affinity does not count, it is a subdivision of Fender.

You do know that G&L is Leo Fender's last company, right?

I do now, but Fender, though now owned by CBS, remains the most well known

Fender
Gibson
Yamaha
Ibanez

The "Big Four" of the guitar world, along with their subdivision's.
