I think I could use one more Guild.

[Norrissey]

Hmm. Vintage F20?

 

[GGJaguar]

12-string?

 

[Uke]

Yeah, the Epi's gotta go.

but it plays like buttah...

12-string?

I too have oft wondered about this, but what would I do with the redundant, extra 6 strings?

I like your thinking, but too small a body for me. I was thinking another dread...

Oxnard D40 Traditional. Love mine!

Follow Tundra Music's page, and wait for a sale. You might get a bargain like I did.

Maybe you can replace it with a hollow Guild M-85? Also short scale and probably also Hofner-esque thumpy. :C)

You can get it to play like buttuh -- it 's a Guild!

How about a late '60s or early '70s D35? This would be a nice complement to your D25BR. I have a '71 D35 and I love it, feather light and super resonant.
I also like Sandy's recommendation of a D40 Traditional. I played one once at a store and it was the ultimate scalloped bracing acoustic. If you like the scalloped bracing sound.

I have owned 3 D35s. I sold them all. Not sure my issue with that particular model.

Maybe you just need another BR : ) For alternate tunings!

I am not ashamed to admit that I think about getting a 2nd BR. I wanted to buy one of Mavs older models at the time lol

Guilds are like desserts: "there always room" for one.

You need something with a Floyd Rose.

My first bass was a Vox "violen" bass (circa 1971). It played like buttah but sounded like butt. Went to an Epi solid body with same result. Finally bit the bullet and bought a brand new '72 Fender Jazz Bass -- didn't sound much better. I don't think the problem was had anything to do with any of the basses.

My playing bass phase ended a couple months ago. I mean it's ok when jamming with others, but solo, it's quite boring.

And with regard to dessert, "life is short, play a Guild first."

Better it should play like a guitar.

Electric ?

You already have the amp for the bass - so maybe a small effect box to add space etc.

Somehow not really expecting you to go into shredding - but what about Chet Atkins style fingerpicking?
