YES!!!

I've been trying. Mine's always slightly off center.

I had a few good runs though. :thumb:

Hey Gav.

Come and see what I've been doing to keep myself busy!!

good rats 04-19-2005 11:23 PM

Hey Gav. You got photos of your new bass yet?

bottlerocket 04-19-2005 11:27 PM

^ I literally JUST took pictures with my sister's digital camera. However, they need to be uploaded.

:wave: Hello, CBR and good rats!

Speaking of that...I'm in a bass pickle. :upset:

cliffburtonrules 04-19-2005 11:29 PM

Pickle, you say?

good rats 04-19-2005 11:29 PM

Oh my. Tell us more about this bass pickle. And hurry up and upload those pictures, I'm raell eager to see them.

bottlerocket 04-19-2005 11:33 PM

^ My sister has to bring them back to her school and upload them there. Sorry. :upset:

I got pics of my J, my guitar, my Schecter, my GK head, my GK cab, and my Peavey combo.

Speaking of my basses, my pickle: I love my new Schecter, I really do. However, I'm not a big fan of having a 5th string. I thought it would open up wonders, but it's just been dragging me down. The neck is a lot wider for my already small hands (although it's still a small neck for a 5 string bass), and the feel's just thrown off. I like the bass and its tones and all, but the feel is all bleh now.

Now I'm debating: should I keep the 5 string and stop being a pu[COLOR=WHITE]ss[/COLOR]y AND keep my modded Fender J (I still have it), or should I sell the 5-er for about $600 USD and buy LS' Warwick Corvette Proline 4 for $600 USD?

But the problem with that is that I would have 2 four strings. Maybe I should sell the J and Schecter and just keep the Vette Proline 4? :confused:

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.

good rats 04-19-2005 11:37 PM

If you feel you'd be better of with another 4 string, then you should go for it. It doesn't hurt to have 2 four strings, one can be a good back-up.

cliffburtonrules 04-19-2005 11:37 PM

Also, my fiver is a Soundgear, so the neck is alot slimmer than your Schecter, which may make a difference.

True...true.

Maybe, if worse comes to worst, I could just swap the Schecter for LeftShoe's Warwick Proline 4 at Berklee.

Well, obviously the Fender J would be the backup. :p

I envy you guys.

I hate to say it but I even had a dream where I was going to some school (I'm not sure if it was Berklee or not, dreams are weird like that) with you guys.

:upset:

good rats 04-19-2005 11:43 PM

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.

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.

Amen brother. For some reason, I didn't like popping on them either.

Aaah ok. When is Berklee?

And Gav, whatever happened to that chick that you liked? The one you posted pictures of on here.

^ Some time in July, I think.

You mean Brittany? She's coming here for my prom. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Woohoo! Is she still with her abusive boyfriend?
Or am I just thinking of something completely different?
