Lately i've been on a Reverend Horton Heat/Setzer kick, so i've been trying to work out a lot of that stuff on guitar. I really don't sit back and play bass recreationally, but If I did, it'd be Pepper-era McCartney stuff.

You need a Gretsch!

I saw the Fab Faux on TV doing Penny Lane and it was #$%^&ing amazing. Will Lee on a 4001 MG didn't hurt either.

Any time I pick up my 6120 I have to play a few Setzer licks. Usually it's "Baby Blue Eyes" or something off one of the first two imports.

Ditto what you said in your previous post; I'm usually playing my own stuff, since we have rehearsals, gigs, and lately, recording...

It's a difficult decision, isn't it?!

The next two on my list are the `55 era White Falcon with De Armond pickups and a Bigsby whammy, and a Chet Atkins Roundup Western Solidbody, again with De Armonds, to go with my Western 6120

I used to have a 6120 w/ Dynasonics and the fill-tilt western motif (edit: this one). I liked the guitar quite a bit, but I like Filtertrons more.

I'm mainly torn between a Country Gent and a White Falcon right now.

MMMMMmmmmnnn White falcons i love, stunning geetars

Depends on my mood. But most of them are in Russian, so the titles won't tell you much, if anything. My own, too. Since i wrote them myself, there's no complicated stuff about them, such as solos and all.

I'm Not Like Everybody Else - Kinks
Loser - Grateful Dead
Not Fade Away - Buddy Holly/Grateful Dead
King's Highway - Petty
Chimes of Freedom - Byrds
These are all on guitar
Donna Donna - Donovan
Julia Dream - Floyd
Bang Bang-Nancy Sinatra

On bass
Not Fade Away - Grateful Dead version
Sunshine of Your Love - Cream
Money - Floyd
Nexus - Fogelberg
Mondance - Van Morrison
Dear Prudence - Beatles
Manic Depression-Hendrix
Hey Joe-Hendrix

I am sure there are more.

Lelasan Megat Yeh ('Lizard Crosses The Water')...Cendrawasih ('The Bird Of Paradise')...Dongkang Menek Byu ('Toad Climbs The Banana Tree')... ...pretty much anything with reong in it...
