ubit Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Ok, on the whole players of a certain style do tend to sway towards a certain type of guitar. I may have chosen my wording wrong. My instrument options are not limited as I play in a covers band who are not signed to a label. If I was in a heavy metal band, appearing on stage at a festival, I might avoid using a P bass, then again in a country and Western band, I might avoid using a Spector. I am merely saying, as someone asked about fashions of guitars, that players tend to use what suits their type of music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 The only concession I might make is taking one of my semi-acoustic basses to an acoustic gig. Apart from that, I'll play what I like. I'm the bass player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vast majority of players probably hold a very similar belief.... I'm not criticising you. Whether or not a belief is true or not is irrelevant - the real question is...is the belief [i]useful [/i]or not to the individual? In the cold light of day I always try to avoid placing limitations upon my freedom to do what is best in any given situation....but that is just me being me. I cant be anyone else, and I have tried!

CHW Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I've never really thought too much about this before but on reflection, I'd probably struggle to take a p bass to a metal gig. It just doesn't seem quite right, and I have no justification as to why. Maybe the attraction of a p,j or sr is just how many genres of music they would not raise an eyebrow in. Never in fashion, but never out of fashion either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
