Charvel was absorbed by Jackson long ago, no?

And here's the Schecter Hellraiser C-7FR in white and black - which one do you guys prefer?
I'd also like to own a white or flat black Schecter Hellraiser C-7FR, I've always liked Schecter, I think they're nice, I like the sound, and I specifically want that one 'cause it's a 7 string and I've never owned a 7 string, so it'd be nice to have just to change things up and widen my playing ability or whatever, you know? 12 years on a 6-string, I gotta change it up!

When I was a kid, like 12-13, I had a few friends who played guitar and drums, but no one played bass. They eventually convinced me to buy one and learn to play, so I could be their bassist. I hated every minute of it, but as a kid, you just want to fit in with the rest of your friends, and being in a band was suppose to bring on the ladies. Needless to say, after a few months, got sick of playing it, sold it, and never had an urge to play an instrument again.
So here's hoping that learning to play for my own reasons, will take me to new heights musically. I searched around the Internet and came across justinguitar.com and have been using that as my base.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
The black looks a lot cleaner to me.
We all go through hard times man, hopefully things get better. Love for the instrument coming and going is normal. It's the same with almost everything in life.
I was going to make my own thread, but this one should work just fine (not that I'm a guitar player yet). Just picked up a used starter package (generic strat knock off, amp, case, etc) for 60$ CDN to learn the basics on.

That is until I watched the Tom Petty documentary Runnin' Down A Dream (which is phenomenal, by the way) the other day, and had a huge desire to try my hand at playing guitar. The band just had such a passion for what they were doing, it was contagious.

I'm pretty sure this is my longest post ever written on this site
I got a 7-string for the same reason you're thinking of. Some of my favourite bands play 7 strings and i'm always a sucker for chugging lazily on the low strings.
I would get one but only if you have the money, and always go white. (easier to see on stage/see pics ^^^)
I play in drop C and can do 2 different tunings to keep it simple if i still want to play in C.
Double drop c, both top low strings C, or double open high strings. So open gives a chorus effect.
Ibanez RG450 - edge-zero 2 tremelo bridge, locked tuners. (So good, always stayed in tune).
Chinese copy - Gibson Les Paul, for $200 (Best natural pickups of all my guitars, i don't know how, the natural resonance is awesome)
If you're after great designs and cheap copy guitars, i can vouch my Les Paul sounds great.

B.C Rich Villain Escape 7- String (cgcfadd for open string echos, and top gauge heavy grooves)
Run a blackstar i.d. Series 100watt head & cab
Also have Orange Dual Terror 30watt, & Digitech Whammy ver.2
& my bands shit is in my youtube link in my sig.

You're already ahead with playing bass and playing in a band, so your timing and structure will be ahead of a beginner.
Just need to find that band or guitarist that inspires you for riffs.
I wish i had youtube channels when i was having lessons, my teacher taught me tabs instead of scales so i had to learn then on my own after i found out how much they were needed for song writing.
The Guitarworld channel has lots of lessons from artists breaking down riffs of their songs & also giving theory lessons.

I struggle with writing single note riffs into chords so this lesson helped me.
My mind keeps wandering to writing songs, but I can only comfortably play 3 chords. I'll try my hand at song writing in a couple of months, but I did favourite the video. Thanks!
The one thing I miss about bass, is the finger room you have for your fretting hand. My fat finger tips keep touching other strings they're not suppose to

Woah woah woah. I said I have fat finger tips. My hands are nice and slender.
But alright that's good to know. I'm hoping my finger dexterity and what not comes before I lose all hope of being able to play guitar at a functioning level. Staying loose/not pressing super hard on strings is pretty tough.
