Nice one GwEm. I have a Squier Duosonic with a couple of Apaches which I have in Nashville High strung mode. It's great for texture and adding harmonic content. The cheaper guitars nowadays are getting better and better. I just picked up a PRS SE Zach Myers and a Gretsch 5420T and both of them are great (of course I had to change the pickups - TV Jones for the Gretsch - though the blacktop filtertrons sound good).
I've also just had Tim make me a set of Jaguar pickups for my Squier Bass VI - they are on the way to me at the moment. I'm really looking forward to getting them in and hearing it. I'm playing bass in a band at the moment and have been using my Bravewood 57 Precision with the BK 52 stagger pole precision pickup and flat wound strings. It sounds awesome. as well as looking great, as it is shell pink, just like my real 66 precision. I'd like to work in a song with the Bass VI too, but playing original blues and R&B doesn't give a lot of room for a 6 string bass!
