- I was thinking that is something I would never buy and then I saw 'Chrome Finish with Figured Hawaiian Koa Inlay' oooof... and now I want a £50 quid capo.kingsteven
- these could be real interesting: https://www.thaliaca…kingsteven
- ^ yea, love the functionality of these. THere was some buzz about it scratching the neck but turns out people were pulling it off..set
- .. rather than depressing the button fully. £50 is a lot for a capo but I use one almost constantly and I think, hope, it'll last.set

Took most of the summer but finally got my '96 Japanese Bass VI reassembled after some much needed TLC. Refinished in walnut stain + Tru Oil (a massive improvement on it's former sunburst IMO). Upgraded to a bone nut + Staytrem bridge. Playing beautifully ATM but got a new set of flatwounds on the way and booked in for a fret dress + full setup next week!

Trying to teach myself how to play Wait Until Tomorrow (John Mayer Trio version). Getting the rhythm and right hand technique is pretty damn tough!!!

I found one of these in a charity shop the other day. For... £20!
...and it came with a really nice vintage leather bag which is worth more than £20 alone. Good find!- Have just replaced the tuning heads and sanded down the neck. It's a beaut. Sounds really, really good... The neck is fat as fuck thoughset
- Nice find, looks unplayed, unscuffed. Who's the maker? (Looks like it starts with an 'F').BustySaintClaire
- You have guitars upon guitars.notype
- @Busty, details in the reverb link below the image. This pic isn't my one, but mine is in equally as immaculate condition, considering it's nearly 50 years old!set
- @notype - I own 5 guitars at the moment. I sold quite a few this year :)set

story behind guitar:

some advice needed from anyone familiar with 4-string instuments.
a million years ago I picked up a 1938 epiphone guitar at a flea market in connecticut for $20. It's been in my closet since. I'm currently restoring it with the intention of learning to play it. I'm a bass player but I do know enough basic guitar to strum along to your average pop song.
I understand that there are a number of tunings one can use on a 4-string, and each (apparently) having a unique characteristic. any recommendations from those who play?
(My initial attraction to the instrument was simply that it was a 4-string. And as a bass player -- 4-string good, more string bad.)
- great find!
open G: GDGB
open C: CGCE
open A: AC#EAfuturefood - open A also great with a metal slide!futurefood
- Cheers :)Gnash
- great find!

- Picked up a jamman couple of weeks back, still working it out, that extra switch looks handy as beans!robthelad
- yeah, the switch makes it! - i have the digitech 3 way box but only need STOP (can't hack the double click)kingsteven
- don't use it much as a looper (there's one on the HX) use it more to trigger samples - you can set up one-shot and fadeout on stop with the librarian software.kingsteven
