It’s been a long time since I plugged a guitar straight into an amp. Felt (and sounded) pretty good. I’ve also not played this guitar very much in awhile as it usually lives in the basement. When I got it it was a 24” scale sears bass from the 70’s. I converted it to a 6 string with plans to make it a guitar synth — the entire area under the pickguard is hollow to let me put a microcontroller in there. In the end I just liked it as is and left it. It’s definitely rough around the edges, but it plays and sounds great. The P90 is soooo #jangly.
