[QUOTE=One Groovin Clown;13466177]A low F# would probably hit the brown note :amaze:[/QUOTE]

Hah. Nah. They've got ones that go to low C# below F#. But I barely use my open B most of the time, so there's absolutely no need for me to get that.

I'm excited for the bass, though. It's gonna be a long 6 months till I send in my deposit.

I'm guessing it keeps the tips of your fingers better in line with the strings?

[QUOTE=Left Shoe;13466185]id say i had pretty good finger technique before hand, and now its even better. i mean, you dont have to put one on if you think you can play better than gary willis =O[/QUOTE]

:eek:

I'll take your word for it. Andrew too... but more you. :p

One day I'll get my bass all fixed up, which I guess now includes installing a finger ramp. I used to want one, then I kind of forgot about it when I hardly played over the summer... now it's back on my list.

-fix input jack
-clean pots
-reattach volume knob
-adjust action (not sure if truss rods or bridge need adjusting, but if truss rods, I don't know how to do that on my own)
-new strings
-finger ramp

The string height isn't that bad or anything, but I'd like it adjusted a bit.


Hoorah...

From the second part of the Theban Legend trilogy, Oedipus at Colonus, King of Athens, took in Oedipus and Antigone, protected them, adopted by Oedipus after Oedipus disowns polynices and eteocles, Theseus is the only person to know the exact details of Oedipus' death.
