Since BASSISTS are allowed ...
Juuuust getting back to it after years of self-imposed exile (gave it all up in 1994; couldn't stand the drunks, both in front of the stage ... and on it).
After seeing/hearing the bassist in the house band for the 2010 Vocaloid concert, I had to have a 5-string (can't beat the extended range): 2010 Lakland Skyline 55-02 amber translucent. My old GK 400RB-III-115 amp still sounds great. A Squier VintageModified Jazz to lend out when I switch to guitar (ain't nobuddy else's a-touchin' MY 5-string, dad-gummit!)
A seafoam-green MusicMan Albert Lee HH is more guitar that I should be allowed (gift to myself), and a used early-'80's Martin Sigma D-28 replica (sweet sweet sweet and damb lucky to find) fulfills my acoustic needs. No amp currently; using a Line6 POD HD.
