warwickhunt Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Not going to lie, I am a bass player who has learned to play guitar through necessity (school teacher - 'Oh you play guitar (BASS), do you fancy playing along with the piano in assembly'). I now find myself enjoying guitar almost as much as bass and at 59 forming an acoustic duo with my wife who has never done a gig in her LIFE but doesn't want to look back on regrets! Any ways, looking to pick up advice on getting the best from my acoustic(s) and amp(s) / PA. My present guitar gear list may or may not be supplemented as a result of registering here!

Dad3353 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Good morning, @warwickhunt, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share (but you knew that anyway, didn't you..?). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found an old Chandler Custom strat instead though and it was cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 And he’s in! A Trademark 60, great amp, I’ve owned 2 and I still can’t fathom why I sold them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it advertised in a Christmas sale for Academy Of Sound (shows how long ago that was) and for what it was priced at I thought; piezo + mag must be worth a try. Loved it as soon as it came out of the box! Light, ergonomic, cracking HSS + piezo sounds, not a lot to dislike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could say I bought it on a whim but never regretted it. I needed to amplify my electric even just for in the house trying different sounds/settings and the Tech 21 came up for sale on Basschat in Liverpool... where I just happened to be going that weekend to see Cheap Trick at the Cavern. The deal was struck and purchased. Oddly, I really only play acoustic in the duo, so it is unlikely the Tech will ever get a live airing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
