...or 5, or 8, or even 12 for bass. Then there are those odd 7 string guitars.

Actually, in the string category, rather than the count, it should be gauge and length...

Or perhaps... size and length?
:roll: :lol:
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

At one time I could have answered both. But I haven't played bass in a long, long time.

99.95% guitar here, so I didn't tick both. I don't think 0.05% bass qualifies me........... :roll:

I play both I suppose, so I ticked both.

Guitar for me.

I have played bass at some band practices and I do own one, but I've never played one at a gig. That's my logic on why I just chose Guitar!

Mostly guitar but I'm thinking about a Rick Bass.

Guitar, and i'd have to say the 6 more so than the 12.

I haven't owned a bass since 1998, a 67 Hofner Beatle bass, but its long gone.
Been thinking about getting a little cheap Squire P bass or something for doodling about on though.

I ticked both. While I consider myself primarily a guitarist, I can find my way around on a bass competently enough.

I play guitar, strictly, but would love to learn bass one day.

I play both with equal inferiority.

But you've said many times that you don't consider yourself to really be a bassist! :P :mrgreen: :lol:

I'm a bassist. I can play guitar. Though I haven't had or played a guitar in a while, so I don't think there is anyone on the planet that would want to hear me play a one.
JETGLO should officially be renamed JETGLO ROCKS! :-)
