You either went into Manhattan to Manny’s Music Store and bought a big name bass or electric guitar that would have cost more than what I wanted to spend at the time, or go to my local music store and purchase the only cheap bass guitar they had in the store.
There wasn’t much of a selection back then for cheap bass guitars or cheap electric guitars.

The answer is no they are not. Acoustic guitars sound different than solid body electric guitars, just as different style solid body electric guitars sound different from each other.

Tom Petty is one of my all time favorite artists. You can find him as the front man for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. He’s also the mastermind behind the Traveling Wilbury’s. The Traveling Wilbury’s were a super group made up By Tom and featured Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, and the late Roy Orbison and George Harrison.
One of the last concerts I saw from Tom Petty an the Heartbreakers and his display of guitar packages was most impressive. There were several styles of Fender electric guitars along with about four or five guitars made by Rickenbackers that featured two twelve string electric guitars. He used a hollow body electric guitar by Gretch and a Gibson Firebird. He also had several songs that showed off his collection of acoustic guitars. Featured was his signature Martin HD-40 acoustic guitar, along with a Guild twelve string acoustic, and his Gibson J-200. Petty terrific list of electric guitar packages and acoustic guitar packages.
I don’t know about the rest of you but sick and tired of hearing these advertisements about items being 50% off. I have heard advertising giving you 50% off along with a buy one get one free to go along with it.

This can pertain to you on your job, or playing an electric guitar or bass guitar. Has this ever happened to you; you go through the tedious task of looking through many different styles and types of electric guitar packages or bass guitar packages only to pick out the right one for you. You very carefully set up your guitar packages to deliver just the right sound. Upon playing a song you mistakenly play a few wrong notes but continue to play as if you didn’t, at the end of the song the people around you applaud you for playing that song and never pick up on the fact you played wrong notes. The point that I’m trying to bring out is unless the people who are listening to you are guitar players too it’s a good chance they won’t even notice.
