The latest acquisition

[i like tictacs]

if you need 8 strings to make yourself sound good, then you need to go back to the basics. and if i want someone with more than 5 strings, ill hire a guitar player. i hate 5+ strings

that's very ignorant

no it's not, it's just an opinion. he likes the feel of a 4.

saying 'if you need more than four strings to sound good you should go back to the basics' is ignorant. although i don't care for extended range basses, some of those guys could play circles around all of us. they do'nt need them to sound good, they use them to sound better or fill a niche in bass playing. you can't tap Tiger Rag on a four string bass.

john myung from dream theater says he likes the ability to do full chords, and there just not the same if ur doing them on guitar.

i completely agree. those people dont need those extra strings to sound good. id put a bill dickens in that category (if you guys havent seen/heard him, check him out... http://www.billthebuddhadickens.com/ )

i was saying that if you (you in general) need extra strings to sound good, then in my opinion, you should go back to four and sound good there first. to me, thats still where i am, and id bet most of us are (4/5 range id say is the same).
i guess its not really a great expression of what i think, but i really just dont like when someone pulls out a 6 string bass and can barely even use the middle 4. and as gsr said, i personally dont like anything more than 5. but some guys need those extra strings for what theyre playing and thats fine.

i've never thought of buying a 5 or 6 until recently... because i didn't think i was good enough for one. I've been playing for years though... and something new would just make me want to play more.

i feel like i should grab that first Q6... the maple one.

bassman, i dunno anything about DPs so i'd be wary about them... i know what a quantum sounds like though.
