Some excellent guitars are made in Asia. Ibanez was making really nice guitars in Japan back in the 70's and 80's, some of them knockoffs and some of their own design. I have an early 80's Ibanez AM-50 Artist... it's like a baby ES335. It's a great guitar. I used it a lot when I was playing in an R&B band. The Gibson knockoffs are very pricey now. Some say they were made better than the actual Gibsons during that period. I try to play everyday, usually an hour or two. Gotta keep up the chops for my weekly jazz gig. I use a Boss RC-20XL Looper and record harmony, then play melody or solos over it. It's great for practicing time as well.
Nah, I'm pretty sure DTS is actually referring to Mel Bay. Mel Torme was a scat singer (zooba dooba doo bee bop a loo bee and all that jazz ). I just thought I'd poke a little fun.

ak shit lonny your a kick in the ass haha but
Your way off my friend.... but mel bay did have sumfin to do with it for sure I have his tabs from the early 70s still in a box.. but it wasn't that Mel who got me into the bass
Lonny you mf you knew all alaong that it was that monster dude my fav band when they were a 3 piece underground caveman music thunderin across the globe
Had to look up his last name (I kept thinking "Schaeffer" and I knew that wasn't right ) but yeah, I knew the bass player for GFR was named Mel and that he's considered one of the greats, at least from that era.
FYI -- movies are my first love, but music is a really close second. If it's from the 70s, 80s or 90s, chances are I'm at least vaguely familiar with it.
