My Reaction Is Just Like A Mio Fan

Remember the time, not too long ago, when many went crazy over Mio and began raiding music instrument stores for her lefty bass? Some could afford the money to make their purchase, but many of the other (diehard) Mio fans could only stand by the sidelines, watching helpless as others obtain their Fender Jazz bass while all they can play is air guitar. That was pretty entertaining.

Then, I saw this.

Now, I’m sharing the emotions of the other poor Mio fans. I think it might be love at first sight, like how Yui reacted when she first saw Guitar in the store.

Actually, when I was making my electric guitar purchase, I was actually looking for a budget Telecaster instead of a Stratocaster, but all the ones below $300 were Stratocasters. Why a Telecaster? I like the sound that it produces. I’m not really sure how to describe the sound except that it’s “harder and more impactful”. I’ve read that it’s possible for a Stratocaster to emulate the sound of a Telecaster to a certain extent, but the Telecaster’s still the real deal. Certainly, the difference between a Stratocaster and Telecaster would be less apparent as the gain is raised, but I don’t really raise it that much when I play.

Anyway, back to the TK signature model Telecaster by Schecter. It’s definitely good stuff, and good stuff doesn’t come cheap. I don’t have 364500 yen now, and I won’t be able to get that amount anytime soon either. Maybe I can try getting this around 2 to 3 years later, using the miserable saving compounded from National Service. That is, if I have any savings.

Oh my, I’m such a sucker for product endorsement. Thankfully, I’m not showing any signs of reaction towards the 9mm Parabellum Bullet signature guitars.

    I’ve found that a telecaster sounds better with clean channel + pedal distortion, and a stratocaster does better with amp distortion. Don’t think I follow that the higher the gain, the less apparent it is. The more gain is applied, the more a guitar’s wood and body construction applies to sound characteristics, and stratocasters generally have a brighter sound.

    .. But what do I know? I’m just a bassist. :P
