So, most of the stuff I'm playing now is funk, or folk-alternative stuff. And I've been happy with my gear, namely my Bosphorus Wide Ride and an '76 Acrolite. I also have a 14x5.5 keller maple, and a 14x5 vintage Gretsch COB that I use too.
But I just got called to do a session for a southern rock group. And I when I think about the tone I want for that type of music, That Bosphorus and that Acro are still the most appropriate pieces I think I have for that genre, but it isn't close the what I hear in my head. I'd be much happier walking in with an A Medium Ride and Bonham-outfitted Supra.
I just a played some good paid gigs this past weekend, and this is a paid session, so I have some money to upgrade, but if I can only choose one (which may be the case), I'm not sure which to go for.
Outside/After the session, the A Medium Ride would likely frequent my gigging setup more than the Supra would, so that makes me lean toward a ride upgrade.. but let's face it, the Supra is a Supra, there's a kind of 'duh' factor there that I can't escape.
What would you aim for first?
the A Medium Ride? (or just a generally more 'rock'-y ride than the Bosphorus)
or
the 14x6.5 Supra?
