I have a heavily modded strat, and I hate it. Just dont like strats that much, and theres not much for me to do.
Within the coming months I want either an asat or one of those new squier jazzys. It'll be a while though, ive spent around 1k in the past few months on gear...

it's finally struck me after all these years that i don't get along that well with the 25.5" scale. which should be a major derp considering that i'm 5'8" and have tiny mandolin player-sized hands...my Jazz Bass is ridiculously huge on me. but my other two Fenders, which i built from parts, are really nice guitars and sound good for particular applications. i just haven't figured out the best ways to use them yet because they're cleaner than i am. i'm thinking about using my redundant humbucker guitars for tunings...i like the sound Thom Yorke gets capoing the SG and using it for rhythm. or if i decide that there's no way i'm going to be able to get a pro-line Gretsch any time soon i may put FilterTrons in the Epiphone Les Paul Custom and go all Jan Akkermann on your ass.

Bass- Yes. I don't know how anything could ever beat my Mustang bass. UNless it was a glorious old mustang bass, but thats just cosmetic. I have a jazz bass too, in the event that I need a brighter bass tone.

Guitars - Yes, totally happpy with my current arsenal. But also need seveeral more all the time no matter what. Sickness.

I'm really happy with my epi flying V. It's a jeff waters annhilation model that I got for less than 200$ shipped, It had some light body damage from shipping but was still structurally sound for the most part. I threw a set of gibson iommi's in it with a 3 way switch wired bridge / B+N out of phase / neck, and a 1meg volume pot. Set it up for drop B with strings and fell in love. It's light enough to whirl around on stage for an hour but still has body and sustain. The unique fretboard and 24 fret's make it like no other V i've played before as well. It's not going anywhere.

I'm also starting to fall in love with my classic player jazzmaster. It's stock except for the pickguard and it's aging nicely with the sweetest clean tone's i've ever had in a guitar. Really impressed for a relatively inexpensive instrument.

Bass: I've had the same '94 MIM Jazz since '98. Haven't thought of getting another seriously, although minutes of 'get a fretless' have come to pass, none enough to make me write a check.

Guitar: I've played so many over the last twenty or so years that I know there's a never say never point; I know I'm happy with 24" Fenders and can deal with the 25.5", preferring the Jazzmaster to the Strat. Gibsons I just never keep, I've never fallen in love with one.

In the spirit of the original question, I'm ecstatically happy with my MIM CP HH Jaguar (with trem, not the hideous black fixed bridge thing), my '69RI MIJ Mustang with bonus bridge bucker installed by a previous owner, and still in love with the Squier Mascis JM after a few weeks of owning it. My old, trusty '98 MIM Squier Strat doesn't see much time any more, but I don't want another Strat. I guess I'm happy with one example of each instrument I currently own that I don't need a duplicate, which is as close to monogamous that I'm going to get.

Long story short, kinda.

lol. perfect. concise, yet vague.

that's BEAUTIFUL.

Basically, I could not be more happy with my two current basses. I've recently acquired some other instruments for fun, and they've basically just reaffirmed the love i have for my G&L and my Grabber.


BUT,

I'm really aggressive and hard (read: stupid and clumsy) on these two instruments. And, I'm afraid I'm gonna snap my Grabber in half someday. So, I've got something a little sturdier coming down the pipeline, and it will likely be the last instrument purchase I ever make.

So..... what is it?

In time.

In due time.

All I'll say is that I've put the deposit down for it, and it'll be 15-20 weeks. Some people will get what it is just from that.

I hate you.
I'm so jealous.
So jealous.

I am so very happy with my G&L. Even though in the months I have not been playing that much, I will keep it as long as I am alive.

I also plan to buy a decent guitar in the near future and plan to stick with old Leo. <3

HELL YEAH!!!

Status S2-Classic. Fucking awesome bass. The only thing I would change on it, is I would get it through neck. But I was in high school back when I got it. Was lucky enough to know a guy endorsed by them and got it half price. I would never have been able to afford anything more expensive.

But I'm pretty much Status for life. I've kicked around getting a 4 string....so I can have a 4 and a 5er.....but I can never justify it. It wouldn't make that much of a difference. Not a need.

it's hard for me to think of instruments i feel like i NEED nowadays in terms of completing my sounds. i still really want a Gretsch with FilterTrons, specifically a 1958 Country Gentleman reissue; i played an original back in the 80s and fell in love, and the RIs are close enough. i want a Jaguar to do rhythm parts with. and i'd like a semi-hollow bass, an EB-2 or Starfire or something in that vein. i'd like to put one of the old DeArmond soundhole PUs in my 12-string acoustic so i could use it for electric as well. i'm thinking about putting another knee lever on my pedal steel. and i REALLY need to get the broken neck on my ES-335 fixed...i've had that guitar since 1975, i literally grew up playing it, and it's been broken since 1991.

but i pretty much sold off the guitars i wasn't happy with in 2009-2010 to raise funds to buy my Tokais and Jazz Bass...i sold an Epiphone Wildkat, a Strat, an Brownsville acoustic, a Mike Dirnt Fender P-Bass, and a bunch of other ancillary stuff.
