The latest acquisition

[bassman462]

i found a guitar at jensens(guitar shop) thats pretty good. or good enough for me to play. its an electric. and now im afraid that i might dump my money into it

[SaxMan123]

LOL! Yeah. I love it. I have a good collection :p

I hate these strings though. Yuck yuck yuck. So HIGH TENSION it's not even funny. Hard to play. Need to get some lighter guage strings ASAP.

WUSS

Agreed. Tell that to Dave though for using light (or is it extra light?) guage acoustic strings

I use light acoustic strings, .11's for electric though, cant find anything heavier than that around here though

guitar is different. i like light guitar strings but i like heavy(ier) bass strings

[i like tictacs]

I use 40-120's on bass

lighter the better over here

A beater is a beater.

[bassman462]

i just dont want to waste money. i still wanna make sure im getting my moneys worth

[GSR]

Fuck that. You'll miss your wick and hate playing the beater, so you won't play and so you won't practice and then you'll suck even more.

I keep my VJ on a stand in my room. I'm gonna bring down my Q after spring break though, i'm a little tired of the VJ and i'm on a jaco kick lately. Plus the Q is loads lighter.

you saying i suck? haha no im just saying for during school, cause the band teach was all pissy cause there was no bass for any of us to play. and there's no way im risking my warwick getting stolen.

if there is more than one bassist, make him bring a bass for everyone to play. you bring the warwick, you play it. no one else.

My CT is not sitting at home for 9 months at a time while i'm at school, i'll tell you that much!

well i dont bring my warwick or any bass at all. i dont play on alot of songs cause the teacher is a moron, we get a new one next year. but i want something to do instead of just sitting there, and if he's using his then i dont have one. and on the days where he just leaves one of his crappy basses somewhere else the teacher gets mad cause there's no bass. but seriously he buys a bunch of basses he has like 6 but all of them are like less then 300$ except one, which is still like only 500

JUST BRING YOUR BASS OH MY GOD. One of my basses practically lives at the school, I've lost it a couple of times but someone returns it to the music room or lost and found. If you're at least half paying attention to your bass, then your fine. Just leave it in the music room or bring it along with you and stop being a pussy.
