Steelers Fans who are musicians thread

From the picks thread......... continued:

My two oldest basses frets are still good. Just played them the other day. Ibanez Soundgear SR506 and Ibanez ATK 305. I like super low action to point of almost buzzing... and play almost exclusively fingerstyle and pick. Hardly ever slap... so I have a lighter touch than most bassists. I have a couple of basses set up ultra-low for string "rattle" (not buzzing) like on Tool's first 2 albums.... Opiate and Undertow. Sounds freakin' badass.

 

THIS IS THE THREAD TITLE YOU CHOSE???

 

Well this is one thread S.T.D and the mustard man won't have any disagreements.

 

I personally like @HeinzMustard . I don't have to agree with people to like them. Hell I disagree with most my family on everything, but I still love them.

 

I have most of My Guitars set up that way. A lot of people can't play my guitars without getting buzzing. The only guitar I have that isn't this way is the one I play slide on.
I also play with a pick, and fingers together in what is a hybrid fashion. That way I can do both , and quickly switch back, and forth. I actually thought I came up with it. LoL Until I noticed some others doing it. Like the late great Brent Hines, Jerry Reed, Brian Seltzer, Mark Knopfler, and so on.
I even play bass, mandolin, and banjo this way.

 

"Sultans of Swing" is one of my favorite songs of all time. Love the guitar work on that song. Also like "Finish What You Started" on Van Halen's 0U812 album... it's got that similar style... "Lay Down Sally"- Clapton, too.

 

I think we agree more than disagree. You're a glass half full type... and I'm a glass half empty type.

We disagree on Tomlin and overall state of the team... but we agree on pretty much everything else.

 

I have a mid 80s Charvel Jackson red strat style guitar. I also have an Ibanez S-series purple/blue sunburst that is strat style. You can see that one in this version of O Holy Night we did for a Christmas program (I'm left of center, playing the lead parts, some rhythm, and the outro solo, which is a solo I really love for this song).



I also have a Washburn sunburst yellow acoustic that has a really great acoustic tone.
