a teal Firebird V it's from 1999 I think.
(Gibson)
edit: Now with pictures!
My bass is a Thunderbird Pro (also Gibson).
Apparently I really like that shape of guitar
BTW They are slightly cheaper to purchase in the USA than in england/australia as they are manufactured here. But not much cheaper. I play mostly old School Punk or Ska. IE The Casualties or Operation Ivy
Though I did play Bass in a groove metal band. (See: Pantera wannabes)

What do you think of the 'ol Thunderbird?ace_of_something said:
I had one a few years ago and I hated it. The shape of it is horrible! Because it is so top heavy there was the weight of the neck and headstock on my left hand which slowed me down, the strap kept popping off because of the neck dive and I couldn't get past the 15th fret without clawing my hand over like you would on an upright. Also, cheap pickups and cheaper wiring made it sound like crap.
I ended up trading it in for my Fender, best idea ever!
My favourite guitars are my Ibanez GIO GRG07 LTD-2 with White/Blood splatter paint job. It has a nice sound and I love it to bits. My second guitar is a classic that I used when I was six and still use, it is an Admira Infante.
The music that I like playing is mainly blues. To me blues is the best. However I also love playing Green Day my favourite being Basket Case.

The shape compliments a person of my size. I'm 6'6" and very stocky. I'm also left handed so I don't mind the extra heft. I have really nice straps made of worked leather. I alsozen5887 said:
The 'Pro' is kind of the low end of the series I think. I used to have an Ibenez (this bad boy specifically http://www.ibanez.com/BassGuitars/model-SR605 ) but found myself playing it less and less and then finally I sold it. Then years later I got the itch to bass again and bought the thunderbird (it was a steal at $239) as I liked my 'firebird' shape so much.
The V does have a slight twang to it but it's made me play more bluesy.
Maybe now I would like to post the baby I am playing the most; That I got from my Grandfather when he passed away.
My Grandfather left me this in his will it's about as nice as you can make for one of these. He always called her "Old Girl" so that's what I call her too.
I just started and I have a Epiphone Les Paul Special II. I'm mainly learning Green Day since they're pretty easy, along with Smells Like Teen Spirit. I hope to eventually play metal though.
I got a SX Stratocaster that I modified estheticly. New picksafety (swenglish, but I mean that thing that holds the pickups in place) and new volumeknobs, hells yes.
I usually pick the guitar, crank the volume and improvise blues and rock.

Fender Jazzmaster Elvis Costello signature model is my newest and favorite.

Until I got that guitar, I only had two Ibanez guitars, one beginner series electric and one acoustic electric. The electric still surprisingly sounds good to me if I'm playing a bunch of power-chord heavy stuff (which is rare), but the acoustic electric is just not good. It's very tinny sounding. I'm saving up for a Taylor.
I'm mainly rock and folk (Wilco-ish). I've written some awful, incoherent punk songs too (from my Minor Threat obsession). Actually, I play some reggae too.

A while ago, I got my hands on an Ibanez SA series. I've been looking around for something new for a while, but that's really what I've been playing lately.
Also, I just recently fell into my metal obsession again, and have been playing around with metal and it's ilk as of late. However, I normally just play whatever sounds good to me, which is softer rock.

I have a (brand unknown) acoustic guitar.
I like to play a lot of Beatles, and when I'm not playing Beatle songs, I write my own stuff, but I'm still working on it.
