    If you were given $4k

    well, I'd slap on some different pickups on my P bass for sure, get that tort pickgaurd, new set of Ghs flats, better tuning pegs because mine are way to sensitive, then I'd get it set up and have the neck warping fixed. I'd try and find a Sunn 200/2000S head and 2 15 inch cabs, whatever brand...

    famous bassists who uses entry level bass?

    +1 for the Boris reference, I'm pretty positive Weedeater's bassist uses a Squier Affinity P Bass, and Scott Reeder used a Ric 4001, but switched up to an Ibanez ATK in the last few years of Kyuss, and I think he has a signature model now, don't quote me for it however.

    Great opening tracks

    Never Meant by American Football is THE opening track, so is This Equation by A Month Of Somedays. Baby Lemonade by Syd Barret, At The Bottom Of Everything by Bright Eyes, Solitude by Candlemass. :bassist:

    Basses that are naturally thicker in tone?

    +1 That's where I got confused, that tone isn't what I'd reference thick to at all. I think he means its just a thick song.

    Basses that are naturally thicker in tone?

    >Squier VM tele bass, mike dirnt pbass, mark hoppus jazz. >Squier VM tele bass, mike dirnt pbass, >Both p basses While, to answer why it sounds like that is a combination of where you play it, how you play it, the tone wood, what amp you run it though, head, cab, the sun shining, if your...

    Basses that are naturally thicker in tone?

    If you mean Nirvana, Krist like thick, (which I can understand, fairly thick genre) look at some Stoner Metal bassists gear. Electric Wizard is thicker than molasses, so is Sleep, Bongripper, etc etc. Most of those bassists IME use 4 string P's with massive heaps of fuzz, overdrive, distortion...

    the official "Show your basses" thread part 13!

    Longboard? Yamaha? Rock on, skater bro. Rock on. On a real note, how do those Yamaha's sound? Any different from your normal P/J pup config?

    Reccomend me some good Blues Rock.

    Just a few artists I enjoy, but here it goes. Janis Joplin put out some great blues rock stuff, good mix of blues and psychedelic rock, along with the voice of an alcoholic. Zeppelin is a must, Cream is a must. EARLY Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green is the damn finest. Get the first 2 records...

    Does anybody in here play punk?

    Sir, I knew I wasn't the only person who liked screamo. Kudos to you, don't run from it either. There's a bunch of great bands that still release music you'd really like. It's gotten a lot more experimental in later years, CTTS, IWSMSOFFY, Men As Trees, La Dispute(in a sense, more post-hardcore...

    About how much power do I need to play in Drop B?

    Unless its real doom/sludge, I'd say just go. But hell, I detest metalcore! On a real note, I'd say go for something with 300wats or so. The Peavy VB-2 Is what I'd say go for. Tubeage, and power.

    Vintage? Modern? What to do, what to do..

    bwest9, Impossible is not, but that's close. Mr. Theorist, I am looking over the thread as I type, but I think a multiple personality bass is what I'm gonna decide on; for the moment. Hah. Would either of you happen to know any pickups or pre amps that fit what I'm looking for? Or the most...

    Vintage? Modern? What to do, what to do..

    So I love my bass. Well.. A better way to put it is I love my basses concept. 3 octave fretboard, neck through construction, but that's about it. I'd really like to replace my Bart MK1's with different humbucking soapbars and replace the preamp with something with a vol/vol/ 3band? with a...
