Bowie plays a Steinberger while rollerskating through a shopping mall. A bit NSFW.

I kind of like the small square body Steinbergers - it's the ones that have a more regular guitar shaped body that look wrong.

I rocked one of these for a couple of years in the early 90s. It was really fun but getting replacement strings (silicone!) was a nightmare. Finally another player from the noise band I was in made me an offer for it and it was farewell, eraserhead-baby bass:

ashbory bass was awesome! the strings are back in production thx to fender reissuing it several years ago.

the transtrem, which let you physically transpose the guitar +/- 3 half steps iirc in like half a second

Could not for the life of me figure out how EVH got these crazy legato chord changes until I found out about that feature on this song:

just in case people are worried that the ugly "ergonomic" guitar trend is dead, i would like to introduce you to the currently in production Peavey Powerslide

Not a Steinberger, or even a stringed instrument, but the Stick like Eigenharp...

Jeremy Clarkson Sex Face (snoball), Wednesday, 1 August 2012 18:17 (thirteen years ago)

i don't mind a nu-explorer shape, but that peavey has the ugliest fretboard i've ever seen

goole, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 18:17 (thirteen years ago)

it's in fourths! come on everybody, fourths! didn't you always want to play... in fourths!

Kind of yes! I have tuned in all fourths before and sort of love it (NB I do not tend to play many full chords anyway)

Lewis Apparition (Jon Lewis), Wednesday, 1 August 2012 18:21 (thirteen years ago)

Tony Levin + Chapman Stick = dope

Moodles, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 18:23 (thirteen years ago)

Isn't Fripp's tuning in fourths, the one he has played in since the 90s or so? Sorry, muso question, but that is what this thread has become.

grandavis, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 18:23 (thirteen years ago)

oh ffs

Liddy wishes he was that funky

Moodles, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 18:26 (thirteen years ago)

er whoops, wrong letter!

goole, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 18:27 (thirteen years ago)

In my teen years, I was very excited to find out that Tony Levin graduated from the same high school as me

Moodles, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 18:29 (thirteen years ago)

Oh, not sure where I got that bit about Fripp tuning in 4ths.

how can fripp tune in straight fifths??? Do strings exist which can bear that?

not going to muso this up, but i still love the interview where somebody asked fripp how he came up with his alternate tuning and he gets all pissed at the dude and explains that his tuning isnt an alternate one, its the right one, and everyone else is just too stupid to accept it.
