70's sound? Maybe that's why I liked them!

I look forward to hearing your new amp. I'll keep an ear out. 

(for those not in the know - Beamer lives about as far from me as is possible and still be in the contiguous 48 states. Normtheguitar, across the Pacific Ocean, lives only slightly further away)

I didn't know that Ampeg made anything but bass amps and speakers.

I'm going to move your thread to About Chordie, where I think you're more likely to get a better answer, but I'll leave a redirect so that you can find it again.

As to your question, I think the place to record original songs is in the Songwriting forum. I'm not a songwriter, so I am not up to speed on the tools. Good luck.

Cool breeze.

I have no bad habits. I do everything perfectly, every time, always.

I'd want to know what kind of set up he means to do for $30.  I wouldn't expect much more than cleaning the fret board, inspecting (not doing anything about them - but just inspecting) the frets, and maybe a truss rod adjustment for $30. And the string change of course.

If you buy a set of strings from him, I don't see how it matters what strings he actually puts on the guitar.

Oooh.  Good one!

Topdown uses colored strings on his Composite Acoustics guitar, which is solid black. It's high contrast and awfully cool looking. They seem to have lasted about forever. I don't know the brand he uses, but I'd be willing to wager a bet he bought them from Amazon.

As for shredding, I don't know anything.

As for fingers on an electric, I never got the hang of an electric and gave mine to one of our members here. I tried fingers, I tried picks, I tried strumming, I tried scales, I tried hybrid picking. I just couldn't get the feel of the darn thing. But, to answer the question best I can given that I have just admitted utter incompetence, if I were to get another electric, it would have high action and be used for slide, and I'd most likely use my fingers for that to keep them free for string dampening. (edited for clarity)

THUNDERBIRD, BABY!  Be the coolest cat to slap a plank and get you a Thunderbird.

Up the neck and tonal range?  Come on!  It's a bass. It's supposed to be low notes. You don't need anything above 14. If you do, use a guitar.

Thanks Jandle. The difference is that I played those sober and relaxed on a Saturday morning when no one else was home instead of half in the bag in an evening squeezed in between laundry, dinner, dishes, errands, and homework help.

Looks cool. I'm still trying to wrap my head around five strings. I'd be completely lost on a 7 string.

Welcome to Chordie. Sounds like you are doing very well for 18 months in. Keep up the good work.
