ninjaadam44

what about, i don't know... acoustics for emo? or for any of these other categories... if you're gonna list basses, then i think acoustics should be listed where appropriate.... ok, that's my 2 cents.

Hmmm

On your list of Basses

Punk/Ska-Anything that works

...

Not really...

A punk guitar can be crappy but the bass is where the music really needs to be descent. The heavy steady bass neads to be a good tone. SO you need more than just a something that works.

and thanks for adding that's what this thread is for!

I disagree that anything is good for punk ...

ie, I wouldnt play some Nirvana with a Les Paul. Granted Les Pauls kick ass, but they don't have the same sound.

I recommend Strats / Mustangs / Jaguars to get a good Punk sound.

DS-2 pedals are also good for this style.

Is Nirvana the sound of all punk?

I thought not.

I mean those guitars would be great for Punk

I mean obviously you arne't going to bea ble to cover any punk band if you buy a guitar. I mean some have distinct sounds... But that applies to any genre really.....

If you are writing your own music you can get a punk sound from any guitar given you have the rights pedals
P.S. in most people's opnion Nirvana was more heavy rock than punk....

Put thanks for your addition

i always thought kurt played a mustang??????

beatallica_fan

He did play a mustang, im sure a lot of nirvana songs used single coils. However the jagstang Kurt was having made prior to his death had a humbucker, to be frank i dont think Kurt cared either way, he was no tone nut.

He played a lot of his songs on the guitar he could get before the show....
it didn't really matter to him... Although some stuff had humbuckers a lot of stuff used single coils.

You can say he wasn't a tone nut about most of his stuff... It all depends on which song... The Way.. He had to have single coils and on a lot of the songs that were slower he had to have a certain guitar make up in order to play it...
P.S.
A good guitar for classic pop rock The Beatles, THe BEach Boys, is a any Rickenbacker....
I was playing one today and realized I had not included them
