Yea I know, I'd love to go to Berklee to hang around with all you guys, and play each otehrs basses and all that. But I'm in Australia and am only 15. :upset: That reminds me, I'm also in a bit of a bass pickle.

[QUOTE=cliffburtonrules]The 5-er does feel weird at first.

I got used to it. I say, do whatever you want. But FIRST give the 5-er a couple more weeks. True, it doesn't open up the door as much as a sixer (oh how I want one) but I like the spacing, and my 5-er has more frets i.e. more notes.

Give it a little while longer, if you don't warm up to it, sell it.[/QUOTE]

I want a sixer now, too. Or, if I want to go the extra step, I'm just going to go straight for a seven. I feel I need another string because my five just feels bleh now, and I feel like I could use some more notes.

I didn't have any problem adjusting to the fifth string, though. It was like I was destined to be with it or more strings. The neck just felt really comfortable and I had no problem with my hand size in comparison to the fretboard. The exact same thing happens when I pick up six stringers, as well.

Good luck with your situation, Gav.

123. Well kinda, I can adjust really well to 5er's necks, but I have only ever played one 6er. And the neck was HUGE. It was a Warwick Corvette I think. I'm gonna try more sixers before I buy a new bass. To see if I want 5 or 6 strings.

I just don't like Warwick necks in general. I picked one up the other day, and that sucka was thick and uncomfortable.

bottlerocket 04-20-2005 12:11 AM

Yeah, LS is selling is Vette Proline 4 for a Vette Proline 5.

I'll keep the bass for a few more weeks and see what happens.

I'm definitely psyched about Berklee, though. It's going to be AWESOME.

Aaah ok. When is Berklee?

Yeah, she still is. When she comes here, I'm going to ask her if she wants to go to college here because we'll have the best life together. I know we're meant to be. I just hope she knows it, too. :upset:

Personally I use Comcast, although it sucks because it crashes about twice a month so there's a day-long period of SLOW INTERNET CONNECTION or no connection at all. :evil:

There's a few other good programs out there...Ares (I think that's the spelling, anyway) comes to mind.
