I think every bass should have a Badass.

Good point, the black is like black black, and not just like a blackened metal right?

I think so, if I understand you right.

'k I just want to make sure it matches up with my hardware. But I may end up replacing everything anyway...dunno yet.

every once in awhile ill just be like "omg i need a conklin" i got another one of those today, either a 7 fretted or a freltess 4 , god i need money.

I love conklins just not the GTs.

whats wrong with the gt's?

Bolt-on, 2 band Eq, I've played a alot better and Im not willing to sacrifice just for an extra string. Dont get me wrong they are nic basses but meh. I love all the other Conklins though.

hmm im a fan of bolt ons and i dont have a problem with 2 band eq , so i guess i wont have a problem with this kinda bass. they just look so good.

^^^^ I agree, yeah funkn, you gotta admit though, they are **** nice basses for the price!

Thier nice but for $1300 dollar I think you could get a lot nicer bass in my opinion.

fretless 4 is like 700$ and the 7 i was looking at was this one [url]http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4713&item=3751945980&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW[/url] so its worth it

To each his own. I love the BDGT it's amazing.

send a link , ive only looked at the gts

My GT-7 is going to kick the Buddha GT-7's a[size=2]ss[/size] when I finish customizing it. I'll admit I don't think it's worth 1300 though, even though I love it to death. :p

What do power conditioners do?

He HAS a 9, but he uses his 7 more.

He uses a 9 occasionally but a 7 is his main bass.

When I get my wiring done on my GT-7, it's going to kill that thing. I'm getting:

Aguilar OBP-3 Preamp
Piezo
Concentric Volume/Volume
Concentric Low-Mid/High-Mid

And if the guy'll do it, custom pickups. :cool:

Dude...what kind of idiot says that? He's just being stupid.

id say i would like something liek what you got foxfire , but when it comes to bass technology im really uninformed. whats good about the aguilar. and whats concentric
EDIT: in response to foxes newer post.
meh its still kidna weird , i mean who has a vendetta against conklin?

A concentric pot has two knobs in one spot, on top of each other, to save space.

The Aguilar OBP-3 is really versatile and gets a great modern tone; I've heard it in action and I love it. But it's all opinion, I guess.

I'm such a bitch for neck-thru.

Ahh okay.

Well see for me...I mean, I got a GT-7 for 473 USD...I figure I might as well spend the extra 1000 USD I could've spent on a BDGT-7 and make it as good or better, you know? And I can get it piece by piece.

lol you got a gt7 for under 500?

For those of you who have a job, what do you guys do to make (bass) money?

Yep.

It's got two holes in the back and it [i]had[/i] a faulty strap pin. I fixed it by putting in strap locks (the hole was too large for the other pins, apparently). It also has a crack in part of the finish that's not noticeable unless you're looking for it.

Don't you mean those who don't have a job.

Well i just use birthday and christmas, fox has his amazing baby sitting job... (im still jealous of you!)

he gets something like 60 dollars a week!

I made an extra 20 last week cuz this little annoying kid who talks to the TV (aka my brother's friend) was over too. :angry: Jeez that kid's annoying.

At least you got $20 out of it.

[QUOTE=FUNKNBASS]Don't you mean those who don't have a job.[/QUOTE]



I think he means your occupation.



Well I don't have a job but will hopefully get one soon. During the summer, I babysat and mowed lawns. Those were very reliable. I still have money from then.

If you want money ask your dad for jobs to do around the house for money, ones that would be harder than normla chores. For example: you ask him and he gives you a job of painting the shed for cash. Worked for me.

In that case I'm a woodworker/carpenter, I get $19,500 a year and Live with my 3 other band mates.

Modes question: will different modes start in the same area? Obviously the way the modes are made up is dependant on the scale, but will they start in the same basic area?

did you get your hands on any woods yet that you could use to make a bass out of?

[QUOTE=FUNKNBASS]In that case I'm a woodworker/carpenter, I get $19,500 a year and Live with my 3 other band mates.[/QUOTE]


I don't think that's a lot to live off of, but being that I'm not old enough to know, nevermind.

That's good if your only supporting yourself, though.



That must kick a[COLOR=White]ss[/COLOR] to live with your band, if you get along that is.




Yar.

to foxfire , if the mdoe is close to the root (ie the scale starts on the 2nd degree or 7th degree) it shudl be close , but i move for the other modes that arent close by
