The Muso Equipment Nerdery Thread 🎸

[Steel Icarus]

I have a small tax refund and have become possessed by the desire to buy a baritone guitar, despite not being very good at normal guitars. If I were to do so, is a normal amp going to cut it or do I need something fancier? I'd potentially be going as low as G# though probably A or B as I like thinking in round numbers.

My amp's fine with mine.
Any particular baritone? Really love my Squier

It's a Gretsch that has caught my eye:

I don't buy most guitars that catch my eye though. I just obsessed over them for a few weeks and then remember I'm poor. I could actually afford this without too much fuss in a month or two.

I got to run my newish Trace Elliott bass amp (works great for fiddle, too) at proper "in anger" levels at last Saturday's gig - it's really come into its own, not bad for such a tiny unit.

Looks lovely.

Got one of these going if anyone wants it. Free, like. Just cover the postage.

Gone.

How much of that is the glitch looper and how much is the original arpeggio?

The original sound is right at the very start, just 4 notes. The looper adds octaves, messes with the timing and you make it spacey with a reverb.

Currently jonesing for one of these; the Squier Sonic range is fab for the price (this is 160)
