Re: Eastwood Guitars
The Ampeg really does look terrific. If I were a bass player I 'd rather quickly pull out the credit card for one of those.

Woohoo, a decent Ampeg copy. I really like the new Airlines too.
Times change. Remember when dog Jimmy used to go white and chalky? Now it grows hair! We got used to it. We'll get used to poly. -blueavenger

Re: Eastwood Guitars
Man, I got all excited when you said Ampeg that it'd be one of the Ampeg/Dan Armstrong Plexi guitars that they copied... I'd buy one of those in a minute if Eastwood made it affordable!

Re: Eastwood Guitars
I can't remember who it was but someone made some Dan Armstrongs last year. I think it was for around $1600 though

Re: Eastwood Guitars
Aria makes a lucite offset that is sadly not available in the US.
It's not about the gear! It's about you, your hands, your imagination, your feelings.

Re: Eastwood Guitars
You know, of those options I think I'd have to go with the clear Strat and cover the pickguard in woodgrain shelf paper for that super-70's look.Maggieo wrote: A bunch of cheepo lucite guitars.
Not to hijack this thread or anything, but I actually tried one of the Dan Armstrong reissues today. I wasn't really impressed, but it may have been the amp I was playing it through. It was really dark sounding, not very well defined, the 3-way switch didn't seem to do much [edit - oops! that's because I didn't understand how it operates], and the neck profile was a little chunky for my liking (though I did warm up to it after a while). This was with the humbucking pickup module in it. It was heavy, but not ridiculously - average Les Paul territory. I'd love to go back and try it out on some different amps and fool around with the other pickup. It'd still be cool if Eastwood made one...
Now back to your regularly scheduled thread.
