howdy hobbes, pretty sure im almost definately getting a B4fl for around christmas... im a little worried about going to unlined though..

it will be good for my ear, accuracy and intonation though in the long run and will probably make me a better player

I found it no problem without the lines. The dot markers are more than enough.

They are great little basses. Just be sure to get one with a 2 piece body and not 3, the natural ash looks pretty crap when you have it in three pieces without a finish to semi disguise it.

oh it has dot markers?
good good, that will help, but i suppose learning to play intonated will help the musicians ear a lot to eh?

ill have to see about the body, i know that none of the shops round here have any in stock so ill have to order one in.

i also hope to get that A4 thats been hanging in the shop nearby for a while by the end of next year... only maybe though.. i'd ratehr upgrade my amp after this, make it more suitable for gigging.

but i'll still be a huge cort whore :D

The A series are great basses, my only complain was that I found the MK1 Barts to be a little insipid, basically lacking in definition.

I would however pick one of them up again, but in a 6 string version and switch out the pups and change the pre-amp



Rather upgrade the amp setup before the A4, from the sounds of it you have a great selection of basses that you are building up but neglecting the means to truely allow them to shine.

funkyhoney 10-18-2006 05:17 AM

person :upset:


whats shakin' bacon?

edit: /pwned

yeah hobbes i agree, im going for a 15" cab as soon as i have the room (after the b4fl) hopefully my brother will be leaving the house soon.
and that should handle any gigging requirments.. dunno if it would fit in my car though haha.

and maybe in the future ill upgrade the head, if i need it.

after thats great, im saving for a killer 4 string. aka, A4

Yeah, I know. He never played with lego when he was little so he's not very good at designing the actual robot. In fact he pretty much has no clue.

Honestly I have never heard of the Eternify... I will link you as soon as I find the page... There really isn't much on it at all.

funkyhoney 10-18-2006 07:29 AM

your becoming my new friend

blizzard 10-18-2006 07:41 AM

Cool, I don't have the password or username for our band yet but I sent a message to the person who does asking for it. Hopefully I will get it.

Hmm, the singing isn't really my thing in eternify. Reminds me of A Collision of Conflict (a local band around here, who I havn't seen but most of my friends have).

Hello again guys.



Do you have those days where you just feel really "flat"?

Yeah, I had a whole week of that a couple weeks ago. I really was finding less reasons to wake up everyday. But now I'm absolutely fine.
