Raleigh, NC -- Old & New G&L Owner
Wed May 04, 2016 9:17 am
Howdy -
I'm Shane. Howya doin?
I've got a mid-90s G&L bass that I've had since new, and I just picked up an Ascari GTS in an effort to find a guitar that will be pretty flexible to gig with. So far, I'm digging the Ascari, but it has reacted more to winter conditions than any other guitar I've ever owned. A tweak of the truss rod got everything back in order, but I was stunned at how quickly it went from "great" to "fret buzz on an open first string" to "every string lying flat on the fretboard".
As for me, I'm a multi-instrumentalist and am currently in a 90s rock band (drums/vox) and fill in occasionally on banjo in a friend's band when their guy can't make it.
Anyway, nice to meet you.

Howdy Shane,
Welcome to the world of G&L guitars & basses.
There is a registry for your instruments. If you have not yet added them, please do.
Also, it's an unofficial rule, but: No pix, no guitars
Take care,
edg

Are you Shane G? I know a talented musician that moved to Raleigh a couple years ago named Shane.
If not, welcome anyway, it's always good to say hi and post pics of your G&L's.

Welcome!
