Guitars anyone???

@Pufton @LewisStonehouse All the talk of Big Star and white strats and butterscotch blonde teles got me excited and then I forgot to post my pics. This is my ‘52 Tele Reissue from ‘94. It is nowhere as cool as @xtcclassic It is clean…too clean. But it was my first nice guitar and I’ve babied it. I absolutely love telecasters.

That’ a a beaut pal

@SKT WOW that guitar is clean! Looks absolutely brand new.

Agreed.
Here’s one of my basses.
I think it’s a 2004. Could be 2005.
I’ve kept this one all original.

@SKT:
@Pufton That’s a great looking bass. I had a sunburst jazz bass like that and sold it. Wish I still had it. Love the blue on yours.
@Jett129 Thanks for posting that clip. That guitar made me feel funny and get a bit light headed. So cool. Living breathing piece of art.
Yes, thanks for posting @Jett129 .I think Springsteens later work say The Ghost of Tom Joad is better than the hits. his good fortune he escaped the early death of so many other people - I'm listening to Lowell George - but look who I'm talking to about that. ??? ??? like your photos of the beach too.

Even though I played drums all my life,I’ve always loved guitars,and been in guitar based bands. It was always a big deal when someone in the band got a new cool guitar. Was a big fan of Little Feat @steelworker, saw them a few times at The Beacon in NYC. Nice to hear you’re enjoying my photography. Thanks!

I love Little Feat so much @steelworker and @Jett129
While I appreciated Lowell's swampy R&B influence as well as the rest of the band's more proggy direction, I have just not been able to get into them without Lowell George, and I also absolutely cherish his solo bootlegs and "Thanks, I'll Eat it Here." I have immense respect for the musicianship of all the band (especially Payne, Barrere (RIP), and Hayward (RIP)–as a drummer I'm sure you appreciate his syncopated, second-line-influenced funkiness @Jett129 ), but IMO the true visionary was Lowell.
An enormous loss for music that he couldn't remain with us longer, because it seemed clear he was going to keep doing his thing with or without Feat.

@mclaincausey @Jett129 @steelworker
I will jump in on the Little Feat appreciation wagon. My dad had me listening to “Waiting for Columbus” when I was just a kid in the 70’s and their music has been a part of my life ever since. I still think they are vastly under appreciated. I just know that my ears perk up when someone says they like ‘em because it’s a sign of good musical taste in my book. I have a cd of Paul Barrera and Fred Tackett that is actually really good in its stripped down form. Bu agree wholeheartedly that Lowell was the driving force. Now I’m gonna go blast “Mercenary Territory”!!

Need a looper. Any reccomendations on brand / model. Something smallish in size.

@mikebarhoot I know sometimes TC Electronics stuff can be suspect but I’ve really liked my Ditto x2. They make a small footprint version called simply “Ditto”. I think they get generally good reviews too.
Here it is. https://www.tcelectronic.com/product.html?modelCode=P0DD4

@skt I’ve had quite a bit of the tcelectronics gear over the years and it all performed well. Gonna seek a ‘ditto’.
