Hey, what can I get for a Peavey T-60 ... I think it's their first six string (rather than bass) I have an old Alverez, too.
Ah, never mind. They are good friends of mine. I couldn't sell 'em.
(edit - but really. times are hard. I'd sell the electric. any idea what it would be worth? Ash body, maple neck, clear finish, humbucker pickups)

I checekd out an Ibanez (AG95) today and it had a little bit, between midway and the nut, on the lower strings. (It also had lower gauge strings than I would put on it) That's beautiful!

I googled and there's a shitload of videos on it, I didn't check any of them out though. If it's used it could be anything from the above , to worn frets( you have to have them leveled by a luthier type who will file them, don't try it at home) to a bad nut or bridge or some other stuff that escapes me right now. It's new. 'Still not sure I'm going to get it. I should get a better computer...

Jeez, calm down, man. I've been grappling with the capo tuning thing for years and haven't found a solution yet, although I have found a capo that seems to not be as bad as most. I forget the name but most guitar shops carry them - it's the brass ones that clip on sort of backwards on the neck. I can't see close-up for shit but it looks like "SHUBB" etched on one side of it.
I hate tuning - especially my 12-string. By the time I get the low strings tuned the high strings our out again! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr......
Ha! I'm just giving you the gears. I just have to admire real guitarists from afar — hence the selling MB's soul venture I launched recently...
