    Nickel or Stainless???????

    A big part of it depends on the bass. When I first got my Warwick ThumbBO5 I had SS and I almost sold it back until I threw some nickels on it and now it's my favorite bass.

    Sunn 1970 2000s

    Does anyone have any experience with a Sunn 1970 2000s? I have an opportunity to check one out that is for sale, but it's about a 2 hour drive. Iv'e heard good things about Sunn and one of my favorite players (Dan Briggs) says he really likes his 300t. I'm playing an Ampeg svt 4pro right now...

    Does a "good" cable make a big difference?

    Does a "good" cable make a big difference?

    I was wondering if anyone has anything to say about Armor Gold, or any other cable for that matter. I've been playing music for a long time and have always just used whatever cable I buy at the music shop. And not really paying attention to it. But does a cable make that much of a difference? I...

    Ibanez musician fretless? $$

    My buddy wants to sell me an old school (88 I think) Ibanez musician fretless. Does anyone know what they are worth? It's in pretty good shape. It's supposedly the same kind Sting played, (or plays).

    Help me out before I hit my Guitard.

    Dood, I love playing tech stuff, but I always say the best musician in the world is the one that's having the most fun. It could be the guy on stage in front of thousands of people, or the kid in his bedroom jamin out and imagining he is in front of thousands of people. Thats what its all about...

    Warwick thumb, nickel or steel strings?

    I recently bought a Warwick thumb BO 5string, and I love it. But it seems to prefer steel strings, I mean in my opinion it sounds way better with steel strings. I used to play DR steel strings but switched to nickel a couple years ago and grown to really love them (mostly because the feel). Is...
