Waiting for my Conklin 7. :evil:

How about you?

I'm doing nothing, apart from thinking of what to do tomorrow.
I have to wait in so this company can pick up my computer to do tests on it.
I set to make about £115 from the testing I and they do.

Oh, and thinking about it. £115 + £120 from my GCSE results and the £40 i have saved already = new bass.
Any ideas? - thats about £285 umm so $500 USD. I could also possibly wrangle a bit more from selling my old one and my parents.

How many strings? ;)

:D
As many as possible!

Nah umm lets say 5.

6-string Curbow for 500 USD.
Ibanez SR506 for 600 USD.

Any idea if where from - and whether I could get them shipped to UK - and how much that would be?

oh that sucks your gonna get a mark up on price. :(

There's a thread somewhere that has a list of very good UK stores. It could be in the resources.

im jaco knows a place for good deals in the uk :p

KK, thanks.

****ty day of doing laundry and playing bass but I have my new 5 string fretless and it sounds right when i play my name is mud now and now I can play jaco's fretless pieces now so that's good any body else get a new bass hmmm.

school starts in two days and I have a two hours of two study halls and a lunch period all put together in my second semester and my friend has it too sweet hehehehehehehehehehehehehe :cool:

BFAG: Yes slapping is addicting... I can't not pick up my bass without at least slapping a little bit. Once you start to get the hang of it, it's fun to incorporate into songs. Plus it adds funk, which is always a good thing

i dont like slapping for some reason. i just fingerstyle most the time i just havent enjoyed slapping my bass lol i cant understand why...

sanray im looking at getting a 5 fretless just short on cash at first i was a bit worried about a sloppy b string but with the flatwound its great!

Downers Grove(suburb)

i love it here only thing is equipment is like double the price... and its not easy to get hold of certain things! surprisingly im not black either. came as a surprise to me to.

I spend two weeks in Whiting every summer, my grandma lives there (off of Indianapolis)... Hear about the two guys that got murdered in Hammond? she is two blocks away, and I got there the week after... I didn't sleep too well knowing people got shot that close...

I don't know if I mentioned I was joining my college's jazz band, but I just found out the bad news - there won't be any jazz band. :(
Only four people signed up so the class was cancelled, but on the plus side I'm being placed into the Concert Band, which is going to comprise of whatever musical group we can assemble ourselves into. I know there is a pianist/baby sax player and guitarist, and myself on bass among others. Maybe we can come up with an interesting group, at least I am hoping.
