I have an old school Boss GT-8 multi effect units and you can change the order of effects. I am sure Line 6 is the same.
I mainly play bass guitar too. Ever tried a 6 string bass?

Only once, a very long time ago. Believe it or not, it was an Alembic Explorer shaped, beautiful piece of art, that I latter found out, the person who let me plat it, stole the fucking thing. Not that I would have been guilty of anything myself, but FUK ME, how can you do that to a fellow musician that spent, probably close to 10k on the thing. Anyway, it sounded, and felt glorious, and if I ever hit the lotto, I will buy one, even though I'm very much not in need of, nor at the level of skill, that would justify the cost. I have a Schecter Stiletto, and I'm not sure if they make them anymore, they offered an 8 string model, which is the road I would go down if I didn't hit the lotto. I have never played a 5 or 6 string bass, although I love that extra low string on a 5 string, I have yet to master 4. Have you ever seen a 12 string bass? I can't imagine what that would do to your finger tips, holding down 3 strings at once. Kramer used to make one, explorer shaped body, neck through construction, about 12k, and it even comes with the case.

Sweet yeah I remember those Alembics. I went to a guitar shop planning to buy a Jackson Flying V with a Floyd Rose tremolo.I ended up with a Gibson Thunderbird Bass. I couldn't pass it up!

Your real name wouldn't be William Murderface Murderface Murderface, would it?
They are nice, and I think about the only one they make with humbuckers. I've never had luck with tremolo's. I always end up fucking something up. But then, I am a tad heavy handed, which is why I leaned closer to the bass.....I've broken A LOT of guitar strings, but only 1 bass string.

Ya know, I saw this, and posted it because it's an Alembic, and we were talking about them....but I just reread your post, and you asked if I played a six string, I thought it was EIGHT string, I have never played a 5 or a 6, just 4 and 8. I must have been still been refilling my veins with caffeine, and working the eye boogers out. Anyway. The bass in the link is ugly, but what a piece of art. It's amazing the care and craftsmanship they put into these things, but you would think they could come up with one or two more "normal" body styles.

That bass looks awesome. I like those crazy shapes. Like a BC Rich Ironbird.
I have played a 5 string and 6 string bass. I like the low B string.7 string guitars are cool with that low B too.
I think 8 and 9 string guitars are a little ridiculous. Going lower than a dropped A is like mush. But some bands seem to make that work.
My favorite guitar tunings are E standard, Eb standard,D standard, and B standard.

Now this is VERY interesting. This is the kind of thing, that is going to be put under glass somewhere, and unfortunately, Charlie Daniels never got a chance to saw on it, like a fiddle.

I just stumbled on this, and thought certain members might be interested. I've never heard of this woman, or her guitars, so I can't ad anything, other then, DAMN! That's a chunk of change, for an acoustic guitar. I don't know what her standard models cost, but I poked around a little bit, and she's a new business, and has been receiving praise for her quality work.

I just came across this, obviously for me, not only is money a major issue, the one thing I really REALLY want, is in Kirk Hammett's collection, and I doubt he's going to part with it.

Well, it looks like Kirk has ANOTHER one of a kind toy, to put next to "Greenie". At least they seem to be getting grabbed up, buy guys that will play them, and not stash them away for a decade, just to drive up prices.

This guy is a great guitarist. I'm surprised he doesn't get mentioned more around here. I'm looking forward to seeing what his new venture is going to produce. I'm also surprised he doesn't have a signature guitar, although I seem to remember always see him playing a Gibson SG.

I've never heard of these guitars before. Maybe Sup can shed some light. They're a European made instrument. I think it's a good looking ax, and appears to be geared towards metal players.

This would be great news, if it didn't have a $20k price tag. For that much, it should play itself, but it is good news, just to expensive to be great.

Well. looks like Kirk and Gibson are going for multiple money grabs. This little gem is only $15k, and limited to 200. I know the guy has a deal with Gibson, and more will be coming out, but the guys that would truly love and appreciate them, can't afford them, so, they will be horded, and sold for profit, and remain locked away, or hung on a wall, instead of making music.

There are a lot of very nice guitars in this link. It was just NAMM week recently, which is why there has been so many stories about gear lately.

For me, there would be two guitars I would like to buy, the Greeny replica (No, I refuse to refer to it as the "Kirk Hammett" Greeny), and the Joe Satriani "Chrome Boy"
Two different poles of my guitar world, you could say.

I would love to have a "Greenie" re-issue. I'm not to hip to whammy bars and tremolo's....I used to break a lot of strings. I also like the Kirk Flying "V", which is from another story, and not in this link. The Hagstrom's look nice, and I here they make a nice guitar. My personal tastes tend to run more towards traditional styles. The Flying V and the Explorer are about as exotic as I like, and prefer dual coil hum buckers, but I would have to be able to split the coils, because you just need that sound sometimes. I have a copy of a Les Paul, but it has a master tone, and 2 volume, instead of 2 and 2. It also doesn't have a coil tap, but I bought a set of DeMarzio's for it years ago, and still haven't had them installed. I think if, or when I do, I'm going to get them installed out of phase, just for shits and giggles.

Here are a couple of links to Gibson vintage, and a couple of new re-issues. I really like the V and Explorer in the second link.
